The End of An Era

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Las Vegas and Celine Dion just broke up.

I’ll give you a second to let that sink in.

Yes, it’s true. Celine’s Las Vegas show is no more. After five whole years of sub-mediocrity, the Titanic has sunk (and presumably taken it’s 3rd class cargo with it).

Dion is quoted as saying her family will always come before her music. Apparently she has a 6 year-old son and what appears to be an ailing grandfather that she must take care of alone, despite having 13 siblings. The cynic in me would’ve pointed out that if her 6 year-old son came first, she wouldn’t have started the show 5 years ago in the first place, but this is no time for cynicism. This is a time for tears.

Her publicists have assured us, however, that her heart will, indeed, go on.

(Side Note: How do you know your show in Vegas is finished? When the newspaper spends the lastĀ 3 paragraphs of it’s obituary talking about what food Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes ate for dinnerĀ at a restaurant that’s located in a completely different hotel)
