candicat98 Posted March 17, 2009 at 08:47 PM Posted March 17, 2009 at 08:47 PM ME AND CELINE DION Celine Dion isn't a friend of mine. I have met her on two occasions. The first was in the late 80's (or maybe it was early 90's) when Celine was just breaking into the English speaking music biz. I interviewed her for MuchMusic. She was expanding her English vocabulary, studying with an opera vocal coach and was incredibly enthusiastic. Her first big hit was about to break. Celine was still kind of down to earth. Months after that interview her career exploded and she was HUGE. Fast forward close to 20 years later (!). I'm in Montreal with my father, hubby and kids. We were being tourists in Old Montreal and now were heading back to the car. We spot a very expensive black Mercedes. The door opens and a familiar face steps out. Could it be...? I look at my Dad. He has that same could-it-be? expression. We nod in agreement. It was Rene - Celine Dion's husband! Two minutes later, out pops a sophisticated, very tall woman sporting movie star sunglasses. It was Celine Dion! Without thinking, I rush over to her. A big bodyguard's hand pushes me back - the first time that's ever happened to me. I blurt out to him, "I know her. I interviewed her a few years ago." I carefully omit the - 20 years ago part. He waves me forward and I introduce myself to Celine. Here's how the scene played out... Me: Hi Celine. My name's Erica Ehm. I interviewed you a long time ago on MuchMusic. Her: Forgive me, but I don't remember. Me: Oh that's ok. It was a long time ago. Her: So are you still in the entertainment business? Me: Not so much. Clearly you are! Her: (graciously) Yes, but I'm a mom first these days. Me: Me too! Her: So what are you up to? Me: I started a cool website called YummyMummyClub.ca. I hand her a YMC pen. Her: Oh, I've heard of it. Good for you! Me: Hey, can I take a picture of us for my blog? Her: (graciously) Sure. Bodyguard takes a photograph. Damn, I forgot to put on makeup! Me: Thanks alot. Stay yummy! Celine gets back into her Mercedes limo and drives away. End of scene. Link Quote

SFchick Posted March 17, 2009 at 09:51 PM Posted March 17, 2009 at 09:51 PM (edited) Can I ask why she got out of her car to just get straight back in it? Lol made me laugh. Edited March 17, 2009 at 10:03 PM by Koolan Quote http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v415/friedls/9632acaa.jpg

Charles Posted March 17, 2009 at 11:04 PM Posted March 17, 2009 at 11:04 PM so cool! She was on the "this is Celine dion" show too. Quote
fabtasticfoo Posted March 18, 2009 at 01:46 AM Posted March 18, 2009 at 01:46 AM Very cool. For many Canadians, Erica Ehm is the first person that comes to mind when they think of the video music TV format. MuchMusic pioneered that format in Canada, and it was Erica that led the charge. And, do I really need to say anything about Celine? Gracious as always! Quote
celinerific Posted March 18, 2009 at 04:32 AM Posted March 18, 2009 at 04:32 AM Oh goodness. She's such a sweetheart. I should jimmy on over to Much Music (or Much More Music) headquarters downtown and get a job so I can fancy myself with Celine.
