Rihanna has sparked another love-in with Adele after hailing her pop pal’s weight loss for all the right reasons.  The pair have a long history of gushing about each other and RiRi was back for more with her assessment of the Hello singer’s seven stone weight loss.  RiRi, 32, says the dramatic transformation had nothing to do with the pressures of Hollywood where Adele shipped off to.  ‘Adele looked incredible before the transformation and she looks incredible now but you can see how happy she looks,’ the make up and lingerie entrepreneur said, according to Closer magazine.  ‘It’s obvious the transformation was for her and not to impress anybody – and I am just happy that my friend looks so confident and content.’  Rihanna is so infatuated with the British star that she confessed she had to stop listening to her music. RiRi gushed: ‘Honestly I don’t think Adele even understands or knows the love and admiration I have for her.  ‘The way she tells such powerful stories in her songs is such a talent. There actually came a point when I had to stop listening to her stuff because it was making me so emotional.’  The weighty praise will go down a storm with Adele, also 32, who has been spending time back on our shores.  Two years ago she paid homage to the S&M singer in Time Magazine writing: ‘I actually can’t remember the first time I met Rihanna; I was probably numb from the shock of it.  ‘She is one year older than me, but I feel like she’s been around forever. The progression of her superstardom feels steady, well deserved and extremely natural.’ If you’ve got a celebrity story, video or pictures get in touch with the Metro.co.uk entertainment team by emailing us celebtips@metro.co.uk, calling 020 3615 2145 or by visiting our Submit Stuff page – we’d love to hear from you.
