"  Adele has a message for her critics: STFU already!  The new mom has finally settled the ongoing &amp;quot;debate&amp;quot; about her appearance by saying that she doesn&amp;#039;t give a rip about what people think about her. She&amp;#039;s fine with it and that&amp;#039;s all that matters, thankyouverymuch. &amp;quot;I read a comment on YouTube that I thought would upset me, &amp;#039;Test pilot for pies&amp;#039; \u2014 but I&amp;#039;ve always been a size 14-16 and been fine with it,&amp;quot; she told author Chas Newkey-Burden for a new biography, according to USA Today. The comment comes at the end of a year filled with passive-aggressive compliments about the &amp;quot;Someone Like You&amp;quot; singer&amp;#039;s appearance. In February, Chanel savant Karl Lagerfeld told a Paris newspaper that Adele is &amp;quot;a little too fat.&amp;quot; Fans quickly turned on him and he quickly apologized by lavishing her with luxe Chanel handbags.  Then, Lady Gaga gave her fellow performer the most backhanded compliment ever while talking about her recent weight gain. &amp;quot;Adele is bigger than me\u2014how come nobody says anything about it? She&amp;#039;s so wonderful and I think her confidence is something I have to match. She has set the bar very high for a lot of woman,&amp;quot; Gaga told Stylist UK. Enough! We can&amp;#039;t expect kids to stop ruthlessly bullying if we\u2014as adults\u2014can&amp;#039;t stop the snarky digs on each other&amp;#039;s appearances. There&amp;#039;s room in the world for everyone: big, small, medium\u2014and everything in between. As for Adele, we can all learn a thing or two about self-confidence from this amazing woman.  &amp;quot;I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn&amp;#039;t,&amp;quot; she recently said. Nice. Yeah, we&amp;#039;re going to go out on a limb and say Adele&amp;#039;s sex life is probably really hot. So, hate on, haters: Adele doesn&amp;#039;t give your lame putdowns a second thought.
