First-time mum Adele has been targeted by online trolls who made sick jokes about her newborn son.

Soon after news emerged that the Skyfall singer, 24, had given birth to a baby boy, some Twitter users posted offensive comments about the star.

One tweet asked if the baby was "fat and handicapped" while another user suggested Adele would have more material for her next album if the newborn died.

And one member of the social networking site said: "Adele gave birth. When did she get pregnant? I thought she was fat."

Adele is thought to have had her first child with boyfriend Simon Konecki on Friday night.

The singer has not yet commented on her blog or Twitter account about the birth.

In June, Adele revealed she was "delighted" to be pregnant.

She wrote on her blog: "Simon and I are expecting our first child together. I wanted you to hear the news direct from me, obviously we're over the moon and very excited but please respect our privacy at this precious time."

Seriously ,what assholes would do this?

I don't think I'd even have a Twitter account if I were famous, some complete morons out there

They do it about everything and everyone..not really news

Tis easy to sign up to twitter or something anonymously and tweet someone

[Black Dagger]

She's a global sensation and these people have far too much time on their hands.

"Adele gave birth. When did she get pregnant? I thought she was fat."

This just shows how utterly retarded they are.

I don't know why celebs are surprised when this happens, especially on Twitter. If they can't handle it, they should just get off Twitter

I firmly believe that you have to be some kind of d1ckhead to post on Twitter. If there are some people on here that tweet and are not d1ckheads, then I apologise. However, I find the majority of them should be kept far away from a keyboard. I have a Twitter account only as a key to other places. I follow no one and I have no followers, and that's the way I like it. Generally people who vomit out their bile onto Twitter are the same kind who comment on Yahoo and on YouTube - that word again - d1ckheads.

Really? I'd say it was more like75%. Reading things people have tweeted, or misspelt on Youtube or Yahoo, makes me feel like I'm losing the will to live. It's the downside of the Internet that the dregs of society are given a voice.

Horrible bastards

They're the 'vocal minority', the small amount of people who make the loudest noise

And unfortunately get the most attention.

[Redway]

No doubt, there will be a few people defending these idiots and allowing for this because of "freedom of speech and expression".

Yup :/

I don't like the anonymity of twitter,these morons can inflict far too much damage, it would be unfair her and her true fans to simply delete twitter though.
What possesses people to say these things?

[Kazanne]

I just can't see what mindset of people would post such vile things,i know they are cowards,but it's scarey what some 'people' get up to.
