Celebrate making it halfway through the week with First Dibs: R. Kelly says goodbye to R&B and hello to House, Rihanna talks Palestine (not really), Us the Duo is the first ever musical act to get signed through Vine, and more.

The World Music Awards' Twitter account stated in a tweet: "#adele confirms 2015 Tour After The Release Of Her New Album ‘25’!" However, Chairman Martin Mills of Beggars Group, the parent company to Adele's XL Recordings, tells Billboard that there's "no truth in this." So which is it and what's happening? We want answers.[Billboard]
