Now the word comes out on the "real" reason. It seems that Workers Stadium is not up to par yet. I suspect authorities were reluctant to admit that an Olympic venue was behind schedule. After all, this is the same stadium that was supposed to hose an American football game last summer that was also cancelled. Dion said the venue, Beijing's Worker's Stadium, had been deemed unsuitable and it had proved impossible to find a replacement "on such short notice". --from the BBC.

The flyer picture of Celine reminds of Buffy the Vampire Slayer or They Live or whatever ...like somone cast a spell on the camera and it reveals her true (demon) self. I still get freaked by the fact that she met her husband when he was almost 40 and she was 12 ..and then he managed her from then on ..like a father figure ..and now they have kids ... ...brain meltdown imminent ... disclaimer: I'm sure she's fine in real life and that her husband is in fact a really great guy and in no way (insert phrase here)

"Shanghaiist wonders what the cross-over audience for Celine Dion and the Super Moto GP is" They both involve alot of loud obnoxious noise.

oh yes, it's very easy to make fun of Celine. Very easy. Carry on.

Was mention of her nationality necessary? Really.

My guess is that Emma didn't carve out enough free tickets for those nameless folks that end up passing them right along to the scalpers.
