Taylor released a statement yesterday about her Vienna concerts that read, "Having our Vienna shows canceled was devastating. The reason for the cancellations filled me with a new sense of fear, and a tremendous amount of guilt because so many people had planned on coming to those shows. But I was also so grateful to the authorities because thanks to them, we were grieving concerts and not lives. I was heartened by the love and unity I saw in the fans who banded together." 



Radar Online says Adele is allegedly feeling uncertain about marrying sports agent Rich Paul.  A source says, "Adele is crazy in love but she is not sure Rich is the right guy. She doesn't trust her instincts and it's tearing her apart, leaving her exhausted and terrified she'll wind up alone. Sometimes she's not even sure Rich loves her! Her friends don't like or trust Rich all that much and fear he could be using her to open doors in Hollywood. Anyone can see the mental hopscotch is driving her to a nervous collapse!"

Dear Fonseca,

My kids were outside playing yesterday when my 9-year-old daughter blurted out that we are going to Starbucks every day to get Pumpkin Spice Lattes. Another parent heard the comment and asked me if she was kidding. I said she wasn’t and that I and the kids love the lattes. The other parent chastised me for giving them coffee and sugar on a daily basis. I told her to mind her own business and that having the kids share a latte every day won't kill them for the next month. The woman tried to make me feel like a bad parent. Am I wrong for wanting to treat my kids each morning? Mom guilt is setting in. Is the other mother right? Let a kid be a kid
