Earlier this week, Adele continued her march toward complete and utter global domination when she picked up seven Video Music Awards nominations, for her hit "Rolling in the Deep," including nods for Video of the Year, Best Female Video and Best Pop Video.

That tally tied the British belter with Kanye West for the second-most VMA noms this year (they both trail Katy Perry, who leads with nine), and only further cemented her status as 2011's biggest breakout star. And so, on Friday (July 22), she took her to blog ... not only to express her excitement about the nominations, but also to reveal her rather interesting celebratory plans.

"Flabbergasted about the VMA nominations! Thank you, thank you MTV!" Adele wrote in a post. "I'm thinking about releasing a range of chairs to celebrate!"

We'd totally buy a set. And though she didn't comment on her chances of winning a Moonman (which, despite the fact that she's up against heavy hitters like Perry, Lady Gaga, and Britney Spears, we've got to say, are pretty good), Adele did write that she's already looking to another part of the VMA show — the blockbuster performances.

"I can't wait to see everyone's performances. If they're anything like the last couple years it's gonna be so exciting," she wrote. "Huge props to Sam Brown, the director of 'Rolling in the Deep!' "
