Celine Dion's Son Doesn't Want A Haircut

Sassy Smith — Wed, 12 Nov 2008 15:37:00 GMT

Canadian singer Celine Dion's seven-year-old son René-Charles, has really long hair, I mean really long. Dion takes a lot of flack for it, but she said he's never wanted a haircut and she hasn't forced the issue. What do you think? Is hair a big enough deal to make an issue out of it or should parents pick their battles, leaving hair out of it?

Dion's son isn't the only celebrity boy with long hair - there's Ryder Russell, son of Kate Hudson and Chris Robinson, who has very long hair too, just like his dad. Cindy Crawford's boy, Presley Walker, 9, has really long hair. Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's son, five-year-old James is sporting a longer do. Longer hair on boys is so in right now - my own pre-teen son has long hair and it was super long a few months ago - so long in fact, that he was being called a girl when we went out in public. Mind you, it wasn't as long as René-Charles' hair, but he could have let it get that long if he wanted.

Celine told Oprah on a recent appearance: "We decide as a family what's good for us. And that includes hairstyles." Celine said that her son has never had a haircut because the kid just doesn't want one. "I've asked him, and he says, 'I like my hair like that.'"

I've never had hair battles with my kids - my 3 sons and daughter have always had the freedom to have their hair the way they like it. Sure, there were styles that my two older sons (now adults) sported that I didn't like, but so what? It's hair. It grows out, grows back, goes back to it's original color. I say, big deal. Pick your battles - if the kids are doing their best in school, have manners, are respectful and are generally all-around good kids, who cares if they have long hair, pink hair or want to shave their head bald? Let's just hope that the 'mullet' doesn't come back in style.

Celine Dion Trying for Baby #2

Karl Erikson — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 15:02:00 GMT

Celine Dion and husband Rene Angelil are planning on having a second child, but not until Celine finishes her upcoming world tour. The 40-year-old singer have a son thanks to fertility treatments, Rene-Charles, who is 7 now. Rene? Wait, she's a boy? Well, that kid's not gonna get his butt kicked on the playground.

Celine, who is on her Taking Chances World Tour, says, "We are going to give it a try after my tour. Hopefully, we are pregnant again. I have a small window of hope. But we have been so blessed already. We tried 6 years for Rene Charles. We have our miracle baby."

Maybe the next boy will be named Candy or Sally. Or they can get Rene a haircut.

Celine Dion's Son is the Envy of School Children Everywhere

sweatpantsmom — Thu, 27 Mar 2008 13:05:00 GMT

Céline Dion is taking her son, Rene Charles, 7, on her world tour with her. That means he'll be missing around six months of school, which is the dream of every second-grader in the world. Of the classes he'll miss Céline says, “This kind of experience is about as good an education as you can get in school.”

My kids heard about this and wouldn't stop bugging me to do the same, so I finally gave in and took them out of school, too. Now they'll be spending the next six months in my office watching me blog. They're going to learn tons.

Celine Dion's Heart May Go On, But Her Show Won't

sweatpantsmom — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 23:35:00 GMT

Get out your hankies (or do a happy dance, depending on who you are) - Celine Dion had her final show in Las Vegas last night. After five years the pop star's long-running show at Caesars Palace came to an end Saturday night. The rumor is she's being allowed to leave after finally paying off that huge debt she rang up at the Video Keno machines.

In a speech that ran before the show began, Dion said she had wanted to back out of the show while it was in its planning stages after her son Rene Charles, 7, was born. "I wanted to be more successful as a mother than as a singer...It's a pleasure to perform for you, but I'm extremely passionate to be a mother.”

After her last number, Dion was joined onstage by her husband, Rene Angelil and her son. She was then showered with five gazillion rose petals, each one representing a dollar she has made from her Las Vegas shows.

Dear Celine Dion, Nobody Cares. Love, Me.

There are 3 Canadians on the Famecrawler staff and none of us covered last week's story about Celine Dion cancelling her Halifax tour dates because Halifax doesn't like her. Why? Because we don't care. Because none of us like her, her music, her personality, looks or the way she walks.

For filler, I bring you the hot, sizzling news that Halifax's heart does go on for the nasally annoyance: they are naming a path on the Halifax Common after her. No word yet from Dion's ~~grandfather~~ ~~father~~ manager Rene on whether Celine will be permitted to attend the naming ceremony.

Also no word whether Halifax's residents will be required to pick up the dog poop along said path. Again, we just don't care.

Celine Dion Refuses To Drink Alcohol

Cases of alcoholism in Celine Dion's family has her fearful of even touching alcohol. She credits her ~~dirty old grandfather~~ ~~father~~ husband/manager Rene Angelil for keeping her away from the party scene while growing up in the spotlight. "I don't drink because, if I am honest, I am terrified of alcohol. Within my family there have been problems with addiction and it scares me to think that if I got drunk, I could get hooked."

I don't know how she does it. Every time I hear her voice I want to sling myself into a vodka-induced coma.

Celine's Hair Will Go On

HerBadMother — Sun, 24 Jun 2007 20:34:00 GMT

So that streaky auburn rinse that Celine Dion - shown here frolicking on the beach with her son and husband - was sporting on the cover of Hello! earlier this month seems to have been replaced by dark chesnut. The better to match her son, I suppose.

The thing is, I'm not 100% certain that the woman in this picture is Celine Dion. Celine's, like, 40. The woman in this picture is wearing a string bikini and looks to be about 18 years old. But my sources tell me that this is, in fact, Celine, and, plus, there's the big old guy that she's married to. And I suppose that if you bathed, every night, in your Vegas palace, in pools of sweat drawn from the bodies of your young male background dancers, you'd look eighteen, too.

Celine Dion and Son Rene-Charles Share Genetics, Possibly Professional Colorist

BadKitty — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 18:03:00 GMT

This is the first time I’ve seen her kid, and for starters, is anyone else shocked at how fast he’s growing up? It seems like just yesterday that we got all oogh’d out when Celine and Grandpa Fester – I mean RENE! – made that way-too-public deposit at the bio lab and brought home their little French-Canadian Showbiz Dauphin. And in case you missed it the first hundred times, rejoice because Celine has more frozen fertilized eggs where that one came from. No, really.

To give her credit, the kid looks pretty happy and not stoned. Yet. And as Alisyn points out over at our sister site Strollerderby, this crazy hair thing on boys is getting wicked normal these days.

I do have to disagree with Alisyn about Celine being too lazy for even Supercuts. Rene-Charles totally has some Vegas action happening, and I spy some on-purpose-boho chic, a la Kate Hudson and her hippie-in-training son Ryder. Look closely: Rene-Charles and Mom have matching butterscotch highlights. Her flat-ironed metric ton of product, and his all natural air-dry gives them different textures, but if God didn't give Celine that color, then She didn't give it to the kid either.

While that kind of "natural" looking color doesn’t come cheap, hey, she’s the Queen of Vegas. Her kid can’t go around with DIY orange Sun-in streaks like we did, right?
