I've never liked her short hair look. Though I do think her face looks beautiful in this shot:

According to a recent interview that Celine gave to the French magazine Téle Magazine, she is currently recording her next album in French and will visit France in autumn to promote it.

Gurl is clever....she wants to release the English album in December to get B.I.G. sales.

She's got two options -

1) Release the new studio album in September, and have a shot at #1 [would be her fifth #1 album stateside - its amazing to think that prior to Falling Into You, she'd only had one top 30 album] but potentially risking being lost in the rush and suffering from poor sales

2) Release in November, when the competition will be too difficult, settle for a top 5 debut but probably considerably bigger sales

I think October/November is the best time to release.

I think October/November too! I'd rather have a bigger selling album with longevity than a number 1 album for a week and poor sales!

Yeah, who cares for #1 albums? When it comes to albums, it's all about the amount of copies sold.

You know all these while i always thought of Celine as an AC artiste, her songs are always about love..love and more love :lol:

I come across this post from another forum and it was mentioned that Celine actually has stong materials and they tackle homosexuality, domestic abuse, abandonment, child rearing, of course love in its many aspects and social issues in her songs

Really?

She touched upon domestic abuse in 2007 with This Time, she tackled homosexuality - or rather a woman falling in love with a gay man - in Un garçon pas comme les autres [Ziggy] way back in 1991. I'll go more into it later when I get time.

She is an adult contemporary artist - and is the best at AC, of all-time as proven by her AC chart track record in the US - but there's so much more substance to her music than "love, love, love".

In her french material she has tackled numerous issues. In Ziggy she sang about falling in love with a gay guy. In Le fils de Superman she sang about a kid who jumped off a building thinking he is superman. In Zora Sourit she sang about the difficulties algerian women face in daily life in france. In on ne change pas, she sings about how a person never changes. And on and on and on. Her french repertoire alone is superior to that of any other diva, yet all people know are the titanic songs, and the cheesy love songs. What a pity.

Celine Dion is selling her Quebec property - one of her numerous residential properties - for a "respectable" $29.9m!

Look at this BEAUTY of a house:

Well she only used it a couple of times per year! :lol:

Her Florida home is much more modern, and homely - she has an egg chair! :P

Wayne, do we have any album news? I heard the album is pretty much ready but they're still looking for a lead single.

I want her next album to be full of belting songs! Those big belting ballads of her '92-97 years. 8-)

To afford Celine's portfolio, you'd need to be more than just a star...

Her Vegas home:

Celine's second or third mansion in Canada which she bought for her mum:

I can't add any more pictures as they're all funny sizes - but if my math is correct, she owns 6 North American properties, a Belgian property and reportedly a $45m French villa.

This is the house Celine lived in whilst releasing her two major 90's blockbuster albums: http://www.flickr.com/photos/45968140@N02/4221927585/
