The Long Goodbye

Celine Dion is going to have a busy couple of months!

The big ballad belter is wrapping up her stint in Las Vegas this December, and before that she is dropping a new album in November.

On Tuesday, the Canadian chanteuse held a private Masquerade Ball in Caesars Palace for her dancers, musicians and staff of her show in Vegas.

Her outfit is very Gone With the Wind ghetto chic!

the "ghetto chic" you're referring to is actually a quite-a-few-seasons old runway Viktor & Rolf dress, which has been seen previously on Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of Vogue.

Love her says – reply to this

58

So the dress is a tad bit tacky… but from what i heard it was the theme of the party "love" and she threw the party as a "thank u" and "i love u" for her dancers and staff that she will be saying goodbye to in December. I know a few people who work for her show and from what they say… Celine always throws parties and gives away gifts to her staff…. she is a sweetheart and a great lady to work for! And in showbusiness that is a very rare thing today! gotta LOVE Celine!!!

She's adorable in that dress! LIKE A DOLL!

Celine's all about…

LOVE

LOVE

LOVE

It's a daring dress. It is fun.

It probably costs about $30,000

But she has like a billion dollars anyway, and she's the most famous female artist in the world, she's sold the most records, she has a show that's been sold out for 5 years straight, she's a successful mother and wife, she's has a successful fragrance line… AND!!!!

She
HAS
THE
BIGGEST
HEART!!!

She deserves it.

ALL OF IT!!!

Re: Davar –
I totally agree with you.

Most the dumb fuckers who read Perez are sore losers who have nothing else to do in their life but read blogs all day and talk shit about people.

Oh wait! Am I making fun of Perezzzz

Perezzy… I'm not talking about you.

I'm talking about some of your sore loser readers!

They need brain implants in addition to heart implants!

Britney Spears & Demi Lovato's First X Factor Critique! Listen Here!

Girls are on fire!!!

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!

They both sound so GOOD! Strong and confident; it doesn't sound like either of them were nervous at all!

Bravo, ladies! We can't wait to see you in action!
