Céline's Blues Posted March 23, 2008 at 01:19 PM Posted March 23, 2008 at 01:19 PM From the Australian Globe and Mail: March 23, 2008 11:00pm SHE is known worldwide as the down-to-earth diva with a bank account that would make King Solomon blush. Now visiting superstar Celine Dion is also proving to be the queen of generosity, according to one of the dancers performing in her Taking Chances world tour. Celine and her entourage arrived in Brisbane over the weekend in preparation for her first Australian show – at the Entertainment Centre on Wednesday night – and touched down after a gruelling 17-show run throughout South Africa, Dubai, China and Korea. Though normally accustomed to five-star accommodation, a promoter error saw the show's dancers put up in some less-than-stellar lodgings on a handful of occasions leading up to their arrival in Brisbane. To make it up to her devoted staff, Celine handed them all a small parcel recently to thank them for their patience. And what was inside? Each dancer opened a box to find a large, gleaming two-carat diamond. "It's huge. I've got no idea what to do with mine," one dancer told Qconfidential. "But it's beautiful. She is so lovely to work for. All the dancers love her, she's amazing." And the gift has a pretty amazing price tag. A jewellery expert tells us a diamond of that quality could fetch anything from $10,000 to $200,000. Not that it would make much of a dent in Celine's earnings. The French-Canadian songbird, who holds world records in album and ticket sales, raked in just over $250 million from the three-year run of her A New Day show in Las Vegas.

Bellamy Posted March 23, 2008 at 01:24 PM Posted March 23, 2008 at 01:24 PM I wonder if they're from Chow Tai Fook company of HK, which gave Celine many diamond jeweleries at Macau. Maybe Celine doesn't like those jewelries, so she gave them to the dancers. http://ent.tom.com/uimg/2008/3/22/taixinhua/1206163713510_28773.jpg Quote Please support the forum by ordering everything through our special Amazon.com link Click here.

MTJ Posted March 23, 2008 at 04:05 PM Posted March 23, 2008 at 04:05 PM ...we know that she made 250 for three years in vegas... but what about the other 2 years? and I like how the estimate has a $190,000 range (from 10,000-200,000) Quote
Jeffieboi Posted March 23, 2008 at 06:51 PM Posted March 23, 2008 at 06:51 PM Only Celine could be so rich, and so famous, and yet so pure of heart. My friend was watching the rerun of Celine on Oprah, and while she's not really a fan (she likes rap, or as I call it...poor people's music, lol), she DID say "wow, Celine's a REALLY nice person". So I'm glad that people can see that about her, even if they don't like her music. Quote
MTJ Posted March 23, 2008 at 09:25 PM Posted March 23, 2008 at 09:25 PM nvm, I can answer my own question. I read she made about 400 mil for the 5 years Quote

Prince Whiskers Posted March 24, 2008 at 07:18 AM Posted March 24, 2008 at 07:18 AM Celine's as sweet as her love songs. In one interview, she asked for the interviewers's permission before taking off her blazer. Quote http://cdn.webecoist.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/modern-pet-solo-blown-glass.jpg
