Celine Dion's Son Doesn't Want A Haircut

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 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.
