14 Nov - Adele is set to make her acting debut in the new Tom Ford movie, "Cry to Heaven".

The fashion designer-turned-filmmaker will be penning, directing, and producing the new movie, which is adapted from Anne Rice's novel of the same name.

Taking place in 18th century Italy, the story follows a Venetian noble and a maestro castrato from Calabria, both trying to succeed in the world of the opera.
