Adele's trophy shelf is already groaning under the weight of the six Grammys she won earlier this month, but now she's got two more bits of hardware to add to it. The singer picked up two honors at the Brit Awards, the British equivalent of the Grammys, which were held Tuesday in London. Her album "21? was named Best British Album, while she was named Best British Female Artist at the ceremony.
According to the BBC, Adele, who performed "Rolling in the Deep" at the ceremony, told the audience, "Nothing makes me prouder than coming home with six Grammys and then coming to the Brits and winning album of the year. I'm so proud to be British and to be flying our flag." Unfortunately, someone then came up to her on the podium and cut her off in mid-speech. She accepted the diss with a smile, but threw her middle finger up. According to Idolator.com, she said afterwards, "It was for the suits, not for my fans. Sorry if I offended you."
Other winners at the Brit Awards included Bruno Mars for Best International Male, Rihanna for Best International Female and Foo Fighters for Best International Group. Coldplay took home the award for Best British Group, while Internet sensation Lana Del Rey was named International Breakthrough Act.
