Watching right now a documentary on french channel and have to say they used to be more positive about Celine, now they still have a lot of nice things to say but criticize her for being so open, and in a disrespectful way sometimes :wacko: Good thing they play a lot of song bits.

Some of those shows are so in infuriatingly sensationalist. Plus they're basically cut and paste form entertainment press and full of talking heads who all hope to have their 15min and make a quick buck off of some (usually tenuous) association with Celine. Especially annoying are those who write these so-called Celine & Rene bio books without actually having any real "in" or anything to say outside what they've gathered from (sometimes questionable) press clippings.

 

At least the one currently on NRJ12 seems to be a bit more balanced, rather than just fawning over her.

I was watching that one exactly. And after I wrote previous message they actually went much worse, definitely not the best hommage they could do :pinch:

Frankly, I'm far more interested in a piece that is balanced or has an opinion, than an 'homage'. Sensationalist and cut & paste as it was, at least they included some people with an opinion, and I appreciate that.

I know what you mean, but I just thought that for showing a program in this particular day, they could show more respect, at least a couple of moments were just inappropriate in my opinion. But good coverage anyway, and on twitter people were very defensive towards Celine :)

Yes, agreed.

Interesting to hear one of the Quebec journalists say something along the lines of '"n Quebec media, there are two unspoken rules: no jokes about the Pope, no jokes about Celine". And I do wish this weren't the case. I don't think it does her any favours, only leads to a lot of resentment among some.

They were talking about her personal life, saying that she was unfaithful and such.

It wouldn't have been so bad had they just cut out 2 minutes or so.

Most of the contributions were fine and I liked the footage they showed (nothing we've never seen before, but not the standard stuff that's been used too many times, mostly because it's about recent times).

 

The male journalist (Jean-Luc something, he did René's last interview apparently?) was especially insufferable.

So was the female journalist from Nouvel Obs who wrote that one bad EUS review. She just seemed spiteful.

But at least she added some perspective (the part about Québecois journalists having a hard time expressing negative opinions about Céline).

Poor woman was apparently threatened by some lunatic fans (even received police protection at some point?!?!), so I'll cut her some slack.

 

The guy "journalist" however!! Most of the unfounded, sensationalist stuff came from him, it was absolutely pathetic.

If Céline did have affairs, I think journalists should be able to talk about it (she opens herself up to it in a way). BUT that doesn't mean he should make stuff up! He just heard "someone" say something about affairs. But it could've been his hairdresser, the way he said it. No added value whatsoever.

And then the tired Kaven-story again?! Jeez!!

Can someone please explain this ridiculous story about Celine supposedly having an affair?

 

Where did this come from? I see in the post above that some male journalist apparently heard some things and spoke out about what he thinks he heard? :wtf:

 

People are saying there is a documentary about this or something. I have not seen it and it's supposedly in French, so I wouldn't understand it anyways. I hope that someone will explain the entire story in detail.

 

I don't believe these ridiculous and insensitive rumors for a second. If this rumor were true, Celine would have started dating other guys already and not making tribute videos honoring her husbands passing. Anyone who ever knew Celine and Rene, or knew of there relationship knows that this story is total and complete garbage.

 

It makes me sick that anyone would spread such horrible rumors, right on the 1 year anniversary of Rene's passing. Classless. :angry2:

That's the thing though : There was no detail. Started out with some woman (I think she was a biographer) questioning how much of a sex life they still had after all these years (yeah, I know.... :wtf:). Then the guy journalist basically said (and I'm paraphrasing) "apparently there were affairs on her part. Even with a woman, or so I've heard". But he didn't go into detail at all. I don't know about slander laws in France, but I don't think you can be sued for such a vague statement (how can someone prove for a fact that they've never cheated?)

 

And then there was the scandalous quote from that blonde woman (sorry, don't even remember who she was). They showed the footage of Céline saying her heart for the moment was "locked with a key". To which the woman riffed that "peut-être son coeur, mais pas ses culottes" (maybe her heart, but not her pants).

At that point they rehashed the story about her guitarist Kaven Girouard (sp?).

 

There wasn't much more to it. Just a few minutes in an otherwise "normal" documentary.

 

Well, then they also said that René's funeral was a spectacle and criticized Céline for her theatrics.

But at least that's opnion and not made up fact....

 

Honestly, I hope Céline will never get to see it.

What a terrible time to release such a "documentary" anyway.....

The thought Celine would cheat is crazy. I understand why the red heads want to start WW III. If any of it was true we would of heard about it years ago. Second if she didn't love him she wouldn't have reacted the way she did when he passed away. That man was her life. Anyone else just wants to hurt her.

Yes these people in the documentart clearly don't see the same heartbroken grieving Celine that we are seeing. She loved René and I will never doubt that. Who is anyone to judge and question someone's romantic/sex life? How insensitive of them to do this to her on the anniversary of his passing. I can see why the red heads are mad.

Yeah, it's ridiculous. RH's reaction to this has been more infuriating than anything in that doc itself. They make us Celine fans come off as hysterical thin-skinned fanatics. (And the fact that several people, it seems, where physically threatened over dissenting opinions of Celine is, I'm sure, the last thing she'd want!)

 

That show wasn't about to win any Peabody Awards. It's cut & paste entertainment "journalism"... what did they expect? Sure, they quoted several unsubstantiated rumours, but I don't think any of those were conveyed as fact, merely conjecture. And I appreciate that they brought out the woman from L'obs, for instance. It's refreshing to see someone with an opinion; usually these docs are just full of people fawning over Celine like she was Mother Theresa. I appreciate a balanced program even if I disagree with the opinion. (Truly, the only thing that really bothered me about this was that they grabbed a pic form RC's Insta and presented as if that girl was his GF... really?! These are 15-yr-olds and it's none of our biz. Keep her kids out of it.)

 

So yeah, the way RHs made this into a scandal has been truly embarrassing. I'm glad Celine has a thicker skin than many of her fans and can make a distinction between fluff like this and important things in life!

It's disgusting that they would try and capitalize on her grief. Try and make Celine a heartless women. We know the truth, the video on the 14 is proof. That's the most real testament of her love and devotion for Rene. She made that public for all to see. Her vulnerability, her emotional trip down memory lane. She would never cheat. That's why the red heads are upset. We Celine fans are not clueless. We know Celine and Rene's real story. Some people a still not approving of the age difference and their love. attacking a dead man and his widow is easy for them, because they don't understand. We do...

There have been rumors about her affairs before even with a woman so this is not new stuff. To threaten people because of these rumors is so extreme and does make some fans look like they think she is a saint.
