Typist 1, Celine 0
Cats: Canada, music|It turns out that the Schamltzy One will not be coming this way after all.
Earlier this week, this typist told you that our mucky outdoor venue would not be appropriate for Celine Dion’s brand of casino stage entertainment.
We have just had word that she has pulled out.
The reason? Our outside venue is not appropriate for her production requirements. (Pssst Celine, it worked for The Stones. Psst Celine, forget I said that and stick with your exit strategy. No. Really. Please. Don’t come.)
Clearly the politicians who booked this show are in lala land.
Thanks to YAM for alerting me to this good news.

I just have this feeling that you are solely responsible for this.
November 16th, 2007 at 3:36 pm
Yes, I’m thinking that too.

wow.you have influence over Celine. She obviously reads your blog. Use this power for good not evil.

Perhaps the backstage area wasn’t big enough for all her clothing changing requirements.

Your city has dodged a big cheesy bullet. Well done!

Could this be evidence of a benevolent higher power … whatever … I am very very happy … but what a bleedin’ Prima Dona light weight … so now let’s hope that those fools and nincompoops at HRM (and maybe Scott Logan .. ha ha) can pull off. Lithuanian midget mud wreslting anyone?

Okay, just watched the video of Lean Dijon provided by the local paper. It’s worse that I remembered — did she always have that high pitched, annoying voice? Thank (fill in the blank) she cancelled, I’m sure it would have ruined a perfectly good “drink on the deck night” — even at an hour and a half away from the site. Our wine glasses are safe now.

….worse “than” I remembered — I hate it when I don’t proofread…..

Yes, H&P, I have drag with these people.
Chelene, and it wasn’t big enough for her ego either.
Barbara, has your city managed to dodge it?
Tonardo, Lithuanian midget mud wrestling? Where do I buy tickets.
YAM, performing in an outdoor venue she could have been violating noise pollution by-laws.

I’m sorry but I have to say it:
Celine cancels show: Dion intervention.

Where did I leave my comment, ‘I’d pull out of Celine, too.’ ?

I saw that Espanya, and snorted aloud, but now I can’t find it. Anywhere.
