Celine on UK press - "Taking Chances" coverage

[Shaun]

The article in the Daily Mail was, for want of a better word, poor.

 

As for the 2 sentence coverage in The Sun, I didn't expect anything less.

[tcherno]

I'M DION TOP OF THE WORLD

EXCLUSIVE Leona to meet hero Celine

 

 

Leona Lewis will celebrate her No1 chart success today by meeting her idol Celine Dion.

Leona - winner of the last X Factor series - will bag her second No1 single tonight when Bleeding Love is confirmed as this week's chart-topper.

 

She is due to meet Celine at the recording of ITV's singing special, Saturday Night Divas. She said it would be one of the highlights of her career. "Celine is someone I aspire to be like in every way," she said. "Gosh - I can't wait. I'm in the middle of picking out dresses at the moment. Celine is definitely one of my heroes. She is amazing."

Bleeding Love has clocked up over 200,000 sales this week - making it the bestselling single of the year.

 

But Leona seems genuinely surprised that she's still got so many fans. "It's incredible that people are still supporting me," she said.

 

After signing a £5million deal with Simon Cowell's label Syco earlier this year, she moved to Los Angeles to record her album Spirit, which is out on November 5.

 

"I was away for so long I've been really nervous about coming back," she said. "I just can't believe people are still interested."

 

Leona, who quit her job as a secretary at an East London mortgage broker when she won the ITV1 show, only returned to our screens last week with an appearance on X Factor - to perform the single live.

 

She admitted: "It was the first big thing I've done since last year. It was really scary but it was good."

 

Leona talks about her personal life and gives her thoughts on Amy Winehouse and Jamelia in a major interview in Celebs On Sunday. See the magazine for the full chat.

[stevo]

Hehe I did too in case they say Celine Dion can't sing

[Cheerfuljane]

No silly - I was looking for "Celine Dion CAN sing"

[stevo]

Nicer article in Sunday Express- same knid of theme i.e Rene Charles but the interviewer obviously actually likes Celine which helps. i'll try and post scans later if I can. Nicer (but old) pics too- from Caesars Roof Top. Not much talk bout the album again

[Love,]

[Lisi_Dion]

[leenylover]

Has anyone checked the glossy magazines yet? Such as Hello and OK and similar? She usually finds her way to those when she's got a new album coming out

I'm not sure about HELLO, but OK comes out on Wednesdays I hope she does do an interview with them - how good would it be to have her on the front cover! Probably would never happen! They like to keep the front covers for wasters like Kerry Katona!

[Cheerfuljane]

I checked all of the mags at WHSmith yesterday and nothing so far

[stevo]

Prob be this weeks new ones post X Factor- for Ok! anyhow. It's out on Thursday.

[Elaine]

I must say I'm really pissed off with all this dissing and new-old interviews! Come on! Do they think we don't have a brain? I just don't get it!

 

Thank you guys for the scans!

[VintageCeline]

I agree, I got the Daily Mail yesterday, and am shocked! The main picture is so old! Its ridiculous! she has a new album, and has refreshed her image. Grr her people arn't really doing much to ensure she has a good album/single release over here...!

[rodney2004]

just boycott this magazine. they are bashing all artists anyway.

[delo3934]

i'm reading this section, and i'm like you guys are believing a stupid tabloid newspaper. first of all celine never smoked marijuana. She had a cigar. in fact i remember reading an interview two years ago where celine talks about smoking a cigar because her bandmates told her to live a little. and as we all know celine is severely protective of her voice, so she figured it would just be a one time thing. the only thing thats credible is that she was in amsterdam. she never ever smoked marijauna. i can't believe that people would believe alot of the crap that they write in that newspaper

[incognito]

They wouldn't write a lie like that after a sit-down interview with her. Because Rene and Celine would sue the hell out of them. It [the Daily Mail article] was not a lie.

 

And the cigar smoking thing happened in Paris, fyi.

Because I know how newspapers work and I know that although I disagree with the Daily Mail's politics they are not a trash tabloid. They are inbetween a tabloid and a broadsheet newspaper. They wouldn't fabricate something like that. Now, if the article appeared in a "newspaper" such as The Daily Star I'd be saying "LIE!" because they think little of journalistic ethics and set aside a huge amount for legal fees in the event of being sued.

[CelineRox]

Has anyone bought The Sun yet? I wonder if we have an apology...

[Xpresso]

You must be kidding, right? Why would anyone buy The Sun after that disrespectful comment about our Celine???

Once while i was in vegas i was told by someone that works for her that she likes to smoke Marijuana after the show and she likes to drink also, he told me she did both mostly on sunday nights , since monday and tuesday were her days off.

i didn't really cared for the comment and didn't think i would ever hear that again but look here it is.

[delo3934]

You know what, this is making me really upset. everybody sayin that the girl smoked marijuana and she's drinking especially after her shows. so your telling me a girl thats fiercely protective of her voice is going home drunk and high to her kid and that everyone around her is ok with that? please thats some bullcrap. we may not know what goes on in someone's home, but to say that she does marijuana in a hot dry climate that has made her sick numerous times, not to mention she suffers and has to take medication for asthma, and reflux along with sinusitis issues? thats just ridiculous to believe this crap i'm serious and i can't believe that people would actually believe this? it's absolutely ridiculous to me.
