Adele Denies She Angrily Confronted Chris Brown At Grammys

Adele says rumors she and Chris Brown clashed at Sunday's 55th annual Grammy Awards are pure rubbish, after a photo taken at the event spurred speculation the award-winning singers had words.
"Chris Brown and I were complimenting each other in that photo actually," the Rolling in the Deep singer, 24, said on Twitter Tuesday. (Another photo from the award show, held at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, shows the two chart-toppers happily posing with one another.)
The rumors implicated Adele as chastising Brown after his perceived snub of R&B peer Frank Ocean (when he didn't stand up to applaud Ocean in losing out on the award for best urban contemporary album to him).
The bad blood between the two men -- besides, perhaps, professional jealously -- can be traced back to an incident last month in which the singers fought in the parking lot of a West Hollywood recording studio.
