LONDON -- Forget 25, the Internet has a new obsession.
Peter Van der Veen - a.k.a. former Mr. Europe, a.k.a former bodyguard to Lady Gaga, a.k.a. the Internet's next boo - has taken up the position of Adele's protector, a.k.a. bodyguard.
Following her increased celebrity and public appearances that came with the release of 25 last week (Nov. 20), the people in charge have enlisted the help of Van der Veen to ensure any crazy superfans are kept at arm's length, and it's safe to say people are pretty pleased with this decision.
Twitter has been awash with compliments for Mr. Van der Veen -- praise that ranges from appreciative to downright dirty.
But they all have one thing in common: everyone loves Van der Veen.

But Lady Gaga fans, who are apparently on first name terms with Van der Veen, have been outraged at his turn of allegiance.
