Céline and René on the 1000e of Michel Jasmin

[dlh1]

I know this is a bit off the subject, but you guys keep going on about the 5th attempt. I thought she only have 1 frozen embryo in NYC and that it didn't work. Where did she get the other frozen embryos from? Am I missing something here?

[zuv]

She looks so beautiful!! I wish I understood french...

 

I s there any new photos from the intreview?

I learned English by reading the lyrics in her album booklets when i was 9 yrs old. Thats how i started. Maybe you could try to do the same thing

 

 

ARE THERE ANY HIGH NOTES IN THE INTERVIEW?????????????????????????????? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG?

I wish!

 

 

I love suspense but oh well... If they even just pronounce that word (retirement)...

OMG I don't want to think about it.

People don't understand... that woman will never retire, she will die at the age of 95 on the stage just after hitting the high note of All By Myself!

[angelil78]

I definetly don't think it's about retirement. Lime Michel said, that she is enjoying her break but she will want to get back to performing again.

 

But I'm worried about the comment, hope it's nothing bad. Maybe it's just something personal. We will find out soon

[Shaun]

I hope it's nothing health related for either of them.

[Jacqui]

Wow, why does he say that? There's something dark in here?

 

I took that to mean in 3 months from now, he thinks she'll be bored with being on a break, and will want to work again? I didn't think that was related to the other thing...

 

Are you talking about retirement?

 

I was thinking Rene didn't want to talk about the future. You know, he's getting older, and Celine is younger so he will probably pass away before her. And they don't like to talk about it, and maybe Jasmin asked them few questions about it.

 

But I think you are probably right. It is probably about the future... I mean that is a touchy subject, especially for Celine...

 

Yeah..I was thinking along those lines too, and now I'm scared. Something way worse than retirement. Because why would they refuse to talk about retirement? And he seemed to be saying it was something for Rene to tell, rather than something about Celine's career? Just praying everything's ok now.

 

But if it was something really bad, and Michel Jasmin knew that, and knew that Rene and Celine didn't want to talk about it...would he have really tried to approach the subject anyway? I know nothing about the guy, but I know he's friends with them and I somehow doubt he'd want to do anything that could really upset them? Maybe I'm wrong and he just wants ratings? I have no idea. I'm over- analysing.

[Shaun]

We're all forgetting of course that it could be something positive. It could be a new album annoucement, a duets project, a movie. Whatever. It could be a GOOD announcement in 3 months that they are contractually obliged not to talk about just now.

[Javito]

Whatever it is about I think its the first time we ever see that she has asked in an interview not to be asked about something! Or do we know a similar situation before?

Well looked! I didn't took it from that point of view

[Selina286]

i hope Celine will do more promotes! like on the Oprah show or on Ellen!

[zuv]

Whatever it is about I think its the first time we ever see that she has asked in an interview not to be asked about something! Or do we know a similar situation before?

 

Javito, i think its BS. I'm pretty sure that all the questions were reviewed a million times by celine and Rene before the actual interview and same for the answers. Im pretty sure René told Michel : this you can ask that you don't ask etc.

[Thomas]

Kent Negano is an opera director, not a movie director. He does work for the Orchestre symphonique de Montréal, as mentioned in the article. What has this got to do with movies? I think this is more likely something to do with an opera or some kind of musical than a movie, surely.

[Skye]

I'm pretty sure it isn't about retirement, Celine WILL never retire. Haha. She keeps saying she will, because she wants to grow tomatoes, and visit Greece on a boat, and drive her own car, etc...but we know she loves singing still, she loves her job I ain't worried about it.

 

And, yeah, maybe they will talk about Rene getting old, but as somebody said, the questions were not sponteanous, Celine and Rene are not crazy. They knew they could trust Michel Jasmin.

 

Actually, I am excited about this interview!

[Javito]

Sorry, what do you mean with "BS"?

[CSCfan]

Bullshit

[Javito]

Bullshit

 

Ah ahm ok

 

Well BS or not , I think we've never heard of an interviewer who has said before that he/she couldn't ask Céline about certain topics, because if something describes Céline interviews since day 0, is that she's like an open book (as she claims to describe herself). So I still don't get why Michel Jasmin is saying that, as if he was banned to ask about certain topic, but I'm very curious to know

 

I mean they haven't done anything wrong, neither they have something to hide. Unless this is all about something positive or their next project (movie?)...

[Claudette]

I don't think he actually meant that Céline or René asked him to not asked them a certain question. I think he probably meant that it is a touchy subject usually avoided, but he went there... He also said that they spoke cleary about their future. If they didn't want to talk about it, they wouldn't have answered his question. That is also why I'm starting to think it is probably about René being older than Céline and their future... Edited January 16, 2010 at 06:10 PM by Claudette

Well pyb I'm very shocked you would say that. Michel Jasmin doesn't work(and never worked) that way at all nor Céline and René. They couldn't and wouldn't do that with him. Of course, Michel is not the kind of interviewer that wan't to make his guest unconfortable, he doesn't want or need to do that. He's not that kind of interviewer trust me, he's a lot more the kind that listen well to his guests, goes with their answers and in that way gets a lot more from them. I'm 100% positive that no question were reviewed before this interview. Ben voyons donc!

 

As for the quote I posted previously and was wondering about, it didn't say that there was things that couldn't be asked. Michel Jasmin said that he wasn't suppose to talk about something and he tried it anyway. It doesn't exactly mean that someone told him NOT to talk about something, that's speculation from some people I think. I didn't understand it like that at all. Unless we know what it is(and we'll know soon) it's difficult to really know. Maybe it just meant, being a friend, he knew about something very personal that no other did, something that had nothing to do with the career and public life and he decided to talk about it in case they would be comfortable to share that...Anyway I don't know but I just wanted to say that the quote was maybe interpreted in the wrong way....maybe it's my english translation that made that seem like there was things(some questions) that must have not been asked. It's not the way I understand Michel's comment at all.

 

Anyway we'll know all about it very soon.

 

Edit: I had not read your comment Claudette as I was writing this post. That's exactly how I understood Michel's comment, exactly how you explained it in your post above. It's very clear to me.

Could the "touchy subject" possible be RC's hair? (Again)

 

 

That'a the only thing I can think of that would piss her off..

[zuv]

Bullshit

 

Ah ahm ok

She's an open book to a certain extent. When i hear that Denise Bombardier and Goerges Hébert Germain has "carte blanche" to write anything they want...imo its BS. loll sorry, but that is just my own opinion. We all know that Rene is powerful enough to take off thousand of magazines that are already in shops because he didn't like what it was saying in it. I agree with him, cause they were lies. but if he can do that, he can certainly prevent an interviewer about certain topics. No? I mean, its common sense, you want to protect your artist. There are things that you don't want to talk about now, cause its not the right time. Its showbusiness, everything has to be "perfect". Plus if that interviewer wants to interview celine again... they better be REALLY nice to her! Why none of those "big interview" like this one, they never ask her about her obvious lyp synching? Or other things like that. Rene has banned some reporters too from every press conferences like Nathalie Petrowski and Sylvain Cormier. Which i totally understand cause they would only write crap about Celine. But if Rene can do all that, i'm pretty sure he can tell his good friend Michel: "Hey michel, that topic, well, just skip it, ok?"

No??

 

 

Edit: I just read your comments lou555, sorry really didnt want to offend anyone here, and i mostly agree with everything you said, michel, rene and celine is a long time friendship. And of course he doesnt want to embarrass her. But still think that Rene and Celine has the right to tell him, "please don't go there." No???

[Lou555]

You've said it pyb, it's showbusiness, she's not a politician. I don't know why she would have to do interviews with people that don't like her and only want to put her down. No one does that and of course René will see that Céline does interviews with people that are profesionnal, competent and yes(why not) nice! and I would even add..journalist that she likes...That's all. Most of the interviews are like "human interest" with news and infos about upcoming projects. Again, it's just showbizz...So those who wants to hurt Céline, René makes sure that they stay away from her. But that doesn't mean that he reviews questions and bans topics. I really don't think he does that nor Céline. They don't have to do that, she's always free not to answer any questions. When a journalist does an interview with an artist, usually it's to please people who loves that artist not to see the journalist trying to hurt them or to please detractors. C'mon! Journalist who do that are not around for long or aren't able to approach many people in the long run obviously. Cormier and cie are hated from almost all artist (except those that he spoke well about). Those are very few trust me.

 

Edit : Pyb, just read you're edit. I don't think René has to advice any of them not to go there, just because he doesn't have to. They trust the people they're working with and they know they are great profesionnal and decent human being. And again, Céline says what she wants(or not)...and I trust she's strong enough to say NO if she wants. She did it in the past. Remember she has almost 30 years experience now with journalists and interviews...Again, Michel Jasmin does interviews to please the public and he's not the kind who wants to make his guest unconfortable. That's not how he became the superstar journalist he is known for today!

[Claudette]

What would they want to hide anyway... We all know Celine is cleaner than clean... I'm pretty sure this interview will be about:

 

1. her miscarriage and ivf;

2. future plans and projects;

3. RC's school;

4. the movie and the tour. I'm pretty sure they will talk about the fact that Celine performed while she was sick and all that...

[CSCfan]

They only hide what they can't tell YET (which is 99,9% about her career)...

[zuv]

Maybe your right and i'm wrong.

Its just a feeling that i have... that things are not that spontaneous as we may think they are...

But i like to believe so (like u said)

[anewdayhascome]

Well those things we have already figured out but it might be sth that we have never thought about... We'll see. Let's stay positive

[Claudette]

Bullshit

I would just like to point something out to you. From ''The Authorized Biography'' (by Geerrges-Hébert Germain), p71:

 

There is a little beep that cues the prerecorded parts that Guy Vignola controls. There is a signal for everyone onstage so that they can follow the rhythm and integrate the sounds they produce in a perfectly harmonious way.

 

Make of it what you want...

[Xpresso]

I'm sure René and Céline sometimes tell journalists not to talk about a specifc topic...

But not with Michel Jasmin for sure!

 

The interview was 2.5 hours and less than 2 hours will be broadcast I think, so maybe they will just remove what they don't want the public to know... if anything?

 

Could the secret topic be about René's health (remission)?

[Javito]

They only hide what they can't tell YET (which is 99,9% about her career)...

 

I'm starting to believe its about that . They wouldn't have nothing to hide but something related with her future career plans, which may include big surprises as the movie project, spanish album etc

 

I think it is about the movie... maybe asking anything about that would force to them to give information that has not been confirmed yet, so nothing to ask about that until they are ready to unveil all the details. Just speculating!

[ladylindsey]

I think he asked her what she would do if she had to return all of her shoes. I mean. DISASTER. Now there is a touchy subject!

 

 

 

I am very much looking forward to the Interview! Thanks in advance for any bits (especially important ones we need to know) of translation! I am working on my French but I'm still on level 1! It is greatly appreciated and I promise when I learn I will help with that when I can haha.

[angelil78]

yes that is a subject Céline definetly doesn't want to get into!

 

 

I hope they will tell us that if she doesn't get pregnant that they will adobt or have a surrogate, hoping and wishing and praying
