Posted: 12/3/04 at 10:44amHow many performances? That might be pretty cheap by Vegas standards - which have been insane ever since Babs got 20 mil for two performances.

Posted: 12/3/04 at 10:44amYou think they'd double it if he agreed NOT to appear there?

Yeah, but think how much he'll have to pay in taxes. 
And he has to work for Paris & Nicky. 
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Posted: 12/3/04 at 10:50amCeline Dion's show was one of the highlights of my young queer life. To hear that gorgeous voice in person is something I will never forget.

Posted: 12/3/04 at 10:52amGorgeous voice and Celine Dion do not belong in the same sentence unless the words "doesn't have a" are in between.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

Posted: 12/3/04 at 10:53amNow when you go to Vegas you'll be able to play craps and listen to it too.
There is nothing like returning to a place that remains unchanged to find the ways in which you yourself have altered.

I saw him at the Garden in October and he was terrific...

Posted: 12/3/04 at 12:49pmI loved it on "The Daily Show" when Jon Stewart referred to Celine's concert in Vegas as "The second most horrifying thing happening in the desert today."

Posted: 12/3/04 at 12:50pmMatt G, perhaps you should marry my stepmother. You and she have the same taste in music. I'll let you decide what that means.

Posted: 12/3/04 at 12:54pmWow, with that kind of dough maybe he can afford a DECENT plastic surgeon. And it's nice to know they found a couple of queens to replace Sigfreid and Roy. Now with Elton and Barry Vegas is back, baby.
PEACE.
