    Adele to make post-baby debut at Golden Globes

    By SANDY COHEN | Associated Press – Wed, Jan 9, 2013 7:12 PM EST

    BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) — Adele is coming to the Golden Globes.

    The executive producer of the show says the 24-year-old Grammy-winning pop star is set to make her first post-baby appearance at Sunday's ceremony, where she is nominated for original song for the James Bond theme "Skyfall."

    Adele welcomed her first child, with boyfriend Simon Konecki, in October. The singer has kept a low profile since announcing her pregnancy in June after sweeping the Grammy Awards last February with six wins.

    Her single, "Skyfall," will compete at the Golden Globes with Taylor Swift's song from "The Hunger Games," Jon Bon Jovi's number from "Stand Up Guys," Keith Urban's track from "Act of Valor," and "Suddenly" from "Les Miserables."

    The Globes will be presented Sunday at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
