Adele surprisingly covers this week’s People Magazine. That’s the power of Adele! She’s been laying low for months, then she quietly recorded the theme song for the new James Bond movie, Skyfall, and the song shoots to #1 and suddenly we’re all talking about Adele again. Anyway, I keep saying that Adele is due at any moment, and I really believe it. Maybe she’ll give birth within the next month or so? And maybe it will be a glorious ginger! Here’s hoping. Anyway, here’s an excerpt of People’s cover story:

Adele may have pleased fans by – finally! – returning with a new single, the James Bond theme “Skyfall,” but the singer has something bigger to be excited about: motherhood.

“She is just thrilled,” an Adele source tells PEOPLE in its latest cover story, about the Grammy-winner’s private world and how she is prepping for her first child.

As the 24-year-old pop star awaits the birth of her baby with boyfriend Simon Konecki, 38, she is happily remaining out of the spotlight.

“She is totally laying low and nesting,” says the source.

Insiders also reveal the secrets of how her chart-topping single came about – and what a joy it was to work with the mum-to-be.

“She spent a lot of time working on it and getting it right,” Skyfall producer Barbara Broccoli tells PEOPLE, adding that Adele even read the movie’s script. “But she was worth the wait.”

I love the detail that the Bond producers let Adele read the script. The 007 scripts are kept under close watch, and sometimes the actors don’t even get to read the whole script. But Adele got to read it. And did you know she’s a major film buff? She talked about that in her Vogue interview earlier this year – she loves the gritty films of the 1970s. I’m sure she adores Daniel Craig, who sometimes seems like he stepped out of the 1970s (in a good way).

Oh, and some genius used Adele’s song over the Skyfall trailer. It’s epic!
