‘Why is everybody stressing over this thing? I mean, it’s just plastic. Could really just share it.’
Those are the immortal words of Lindsay Lohan’s Mean Girls character Cady Heron, spoken as she (shockingly) breaks the Spring Fling Queen’s hallowed crown into several pieces.
The red-head then divides bits of this crown up for her High School peers, including her arch-enemy — the tyrannical leader of The Plastics, Regina George.
This moment was echoed last night at the Grammys when winner Adele actually broke her Album Of The Year statue — and gave a large chunk to her pregnant idol, Beyonce, who she’d beaten to the award.
Adele made it plain in her speech that she felt Beyonce was the more deserving winner, and later snarled: ‘I thought it was her year. What the f**k does she have to do to win Album Of The Year?’

So sharing her iconic Grammys statue by breaking the horn of her gold phonograph and giving it to her musical idol was a touching, or perhaps slightly sycophantic, gesture by Adele.
And it all but confirms Queen Bey is the Regina George of the music industry (well, Regina does mean queen).
Maybe Adele was trying to outdo Kanye West in the sucking-up-to-Beyonce stakes following his Taylor Swift-shading ‘One of the best videos of all time!’ rant about Single Ladies at the 2009 VMAs.
