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.
Singer Celine Dion is so busy currently that is cannot find to time to hold a pen and write songs. Singer of the song “My Heart Will Go On” is right now embarking on a year long world tour that will only come to a close in February 2009.
She says, “I wish I could write songs. I have a lot of ideas. A tune will come into my head and sometimes a lyric, but I never really sit down and try to make something from it. It’s just for me. And I think I’m too busy anyway.”
Does this mean no more crappy Celine Dion CDs ever?!?! OOhh Happy Day! Come man don’t give me this that she would write each of her songs herself. By the time you are such big selling artist you probably have a dozen song writers doing that job for you. Inspiration then starts coming from being too busy keeping up her awesome beauty in check.
Celine Dion received an award from Quebec City Mayor, Regis Labeaume, during a ceremony in Quebec City last week. The 40-year old singer was born in Charlemagne, Quebec, Canada and thoroughly enjoyed her trip back home. The singer also performed a free show last week in the city as part of a year-long celebration to mark the 400th anniversary of the provincial capital. Over 200,000 showed up to the Plains of Abraham to catch her. I wonder why she was given an award. Was it for model citizen or was it just because she was born there? I wonder if other famous Quebecers will be awarded.
Celine Dion is getting on her architect for not knowing much about geometry. The singer hired Florida architect Randall Stofft in 2005 to build her a $3 million Jupiter Island home complete with an octagonal living room. Stofft saw it differently and Celine said he refused to build the house she wanted. According to the Palm Beach Post, the house is still unfinished up to now which is why Celine has filed suit asking for a quarter million in damages. It’s one of those cases where the customer is always right. Heck, he’s going to be paid regardless if Celine’s vision was a mess. It was her idea that she’s paying for anyway. He should have just followed orders if you ask me.
Celine Dion performed on stage at the Acer Arena this past Saturday in Sydney, Australia. The Canadian Grammy Award-winning singer opened up the show by singing ‘I Drove All Night’ and followed it up with her classic ‘The Power of Love’. I’ll give you three guesses as to what her final song was and the last two guesses don’t count. Is anyone even going to wonder why she would sing the ‘Titanic’ anthem ‘My Heart Will Go On’? No one can deny that the piece is classic and timeless – even if it can get a bit sickening if played over and over.
Britney Spears’ record label backed out of a diva battle on the charts by actually releasing her album early. But neither Celine Dion nor Alicia Keys are scared to get a little competition in.Both divas released new albums this week, and while there was no Kanye West and 50 Cent hype that went on around them, both are projected to sell very well. However, only one singer can take the top spot and it seems to be Alicia.
The R&B singer’s latest album is expected to move 550,000 copies while Celine’s ‘Taking Chances’, the Canadians’ first English-language album in 4 years, is expected to sell around 250,000. Congratulations to both for their respective success.
For the 19th time, the world’s bestselling recording artists were honored at the World Music Awards. The festivities took place in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Music fans in the US will have the opportunity to view the awards ceremony on MyNetworkTV November 22, 2007.
Mika was the big winner of the night taking home a total of 4 awards. He was cited as Best Selling British Artist, Best Selling New Artist, Best Selling Male Entertainer, and World’s Best Selling Pop Rock Male Artist. Akon took home 3 awards and Avril Lavigne received 2. Perhaps the single biggest award of the night was the announcement of Celine Dion as recipient of the Legend Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music.
Celine Dion has released a new video. It’s for the first single off of her new album called ‘Taking Chances’. Incidentally enough, the single and the album have the same name.
The video features the French Canadian singer with a spy helmet. The video is definitely on the hi-tech side. Celine’s new album is scheduled for release on November 13.
Celine is still not done with her entertainment extravaganza of four years at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas but her last show has already been scheduled for December 15. I wonder if she’s going to tour in support of her new album or would just integrate some new songs in her Las Vegas show.
