Celine Dion: Anti-Free-Speech Bully
She used her legal muscle to shut down a blog of photos of her looking goofy, "Ridiculous Pictures of Céline Dion" blog. Of course, now, the Streisand Effect has taken effect. I had no idea of the existence of this blog until Dion tried to squash it. (I hope many people will link to the story about the take-down to show people who try to use their financial muscle to squash speech that there can be a backlash from that.)
*What I don't support is that the photos that ran on the blog were most likely lifted without payment from the sources who took the photos (no, merely crediting people when posting their work is not enough).
If I could be arsed, I'd set up celine_dion's_bum_is_fat_and_she_has_the_sense_of_humour_of_a_doorpost.com
But I'm sure every possible site name of that kind has been taken.
And I don't care enough. Amy Winehouse in two years had more talent than doorpost in 20.

Pretty mean-spirited blog by the sounds of things. But yeah, she surely messed up by trying to get it shut down.

She IS known as a diva.
A no talent diva.
Maybe this will can her career and we won't have to listen to her anymore. Girl can break glass! OUCH!
Anyone find out the COD on Winehouse? Not that we don't already know, but confirming it might stop the gossip....

Mean-spirited? How about hilarious.
The picture with the white dress she looks like she's pretty sure she just pooped herself.
Funny pictures of people =/= mean-spirited.
Happy about Amy Winehouse dead == mean-spirited.
Does that help?

NO cause of death yet, Angel: "Amy Winehouse Autopsy Inconclusive, Cause of Death Will Take Until October" from one of the newsfeeds.
