Last Friday, a 41-year old man was arrested outside of Celine Dion’s Canadian home for allegedly stalking the singer. The man apparently buzzed the intercom and demanded to see the French Canadian diva or her husband, Rene Angelil. When the man refused to leave, security called the police. The crazy fan was sent to a hospital for psychiatric evaluation and was scheduled to face the court this past Monday to answer to the stalking allegations. I wonder what his intentions were. Most stalkers just call on their supposed victims. I wonder why he was demanding for Celine’s husband too. Celebrities go through the craziest things.
Tori Amos is about to set Austin ablaze. It has just been announced that the piano diva is going to be performing a very special intimate concert at the SXSW music festival next month. The singer has just signed with Universal Republic and she will be headlining the record label’s showcase on March 19th. Additionally, it’s also been announced that Tori’s album is called ‘Abnormally Attracted to Sin’ and it’s coming out this spring. I’m a big fan of Tori’s and I can’t wait to get a chance to see her or even just to grab a copy of her new album. I’m so excited that it’s not even funny!
