Celine Dion is perhaps one of the most recognizable names in the world because of the impact her music has had. Now, the singer has receded from the limelight following her Stiff Person Syndrome diagnosis.

She is now mostly in her home, surrounded by her family. Keep reading to learn more about what her home, where she spends most of her time, looks like…

Since Celine Dion announced her diagnosis, she has receded from the limelight. Her sister, Claudette Dion, has been providing fans with updates on what has been going on in the singer’s life.

“She’s doing everything to recover. She’s a strong woman,” Claudette said in an interview, She added that little is little known about the condition, even by the Dion family. Celine’s older sister also mentioned how the family can do little about the “pain” the singer is in.

74-year-old Claudette talked about the symptoms her sister is suffering from, she said, “There are spasms – they’re impossible to control. You know when people often jump up in the night because of a cramp in the leg or the calf? It’s a bit like that, but in all muscles.”

Dion revealed her diagnosis late last year in December 2022. She posted an emotional video on social media to tell her fans about her diagnosis of Stiff Person Syndrome and to announce that her tour was indefinitely postponed.

She said the condition was also affecting her vocal cords and hence, her ability to sing, which is why she had put a pin in her Courage world tour till she felt she was better enough to take the stage again.

The pop sensation has since then been working with “a great team of doctors” and also working with a sports-medicine therapist to regain her strength.

She is now living at home with her three sons, René-Charles, Eddy, and Nelson. She shared all three boys with her late husband, René Angelil, who died in January 2016 at age 73 years old.

In 2008, the couple purchased a five-acre plot of land. Two years later they began to build their dream home on the piece of land from scratch.

The home was inspired by the Bahamas, it had 13 bedrooms with 14 bathrooms. The home also had a lot of water features, which included two pools, slides, as well as lazy river.

But the singer sold her dream home to move to Las Vegas, where she had signed a residency deal in 2005. She thought the move would make it easier for her family to be together.

Her original home, which she built, remained on the market for quite a while before the singer managed to sell it four years later for the price of $38.5 million. She sold the home only a year after her beloved husband had passed away.

She reportedly also sold a property in Summerlin, Las Vegas, in April 2023. She made $30 million on the sale and then bought the newly constructed mansion in 2017 for $9.2 million.

Megyn Kelly wants fans to “boycott” Taylor Swift after the singer attended a Gaza fundraising event

with her close pal Selena Gomez amid the Israel–Hamas war.

The political commentator bashed Swift for going to comedian Ramy Youssef’s show in Brooklyn on Dec. 8 —

which donated all proceeds to American Near East Refugee Aid (Anera) — on her eponymous SiriusXM show Tuesday.

Kelly, 53, noted that Jerusalem-based organization NGO Monitor describes Anera as “‘highly political,’ presenting a ‘highly biased view’ of the Israel–Palestine war, ‘ignoring any Palestinian responsibility for hardship and contributing to the demonization of Israel.’

“That is the group Taylor Swift thought it might be fun to help raise money for, attend the fundraiser for,” the journalist continued, “and she owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology.”

Kelly even went so far as to share her hope that Swifties will “boycott” the “Cruel Summer” singer’s events “until she issues” a mea culpa.

“Attending this thing was wrong. It was wrong. Do some Googling. See what they do in Gaza to gays. See about women’s rights in Gaza, Taylor,” she said.

“Otherwise, do this when it comes to talking about those issues again,” the former Fox News host concluded while motioning her hand to tell Swift to keep her mouth shut. “You clearly know nothing.”

Page Six has reached out to Swift’s rep for comment.

Anera’s website insists the nonprofit “does not work or even coordinate with” Hamas, which the US Department of State designates as a “terrorist group.”

8Kelly believes Swift “owes Israelis and Jewish Americans an apology.”

Other celebrities seen at the event included Cara Delevingne, Anya Taylor-Joy and Zoë Kravitz.

Swift — who has 278 million Instagram followers and was just named Time’s Person of the Year — has been criticized for staying silent after Hamas’ Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israeli citizens that left more than 1,200 dead, 240 kidnapped and many 𝑠e𝑥ually brutalized.

The Grammy winner’s bodyguard even reportedly returned to Israel to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces amid the conflict.

Many fans flocked to social media to react to Swift’s attendance at the charity event.

“Since October 7th, Taylor Swift has made ZERO mentions of the massacre that occurred in Israel at the hands of Hamas terrorists,” the StopAntisemitism organization tweeted Monday. “Her own bodyguard, who is charged with protecting her life, went to Israel to serve in the IDF. Swift did, however, make the time to attend a Gaza fundraiser Friday evening with Selena Gomez. When will you attend a fundraiser for Israel @taylorswift13?”

“I can’t believe her I was a full time swiftie, and now it’s gone. All my respect. So sad she has lost me as a fan,” a Twitter user responded.

8Kelly also said that fans should “boycott” Swift.TheImageDirect.com

“I’m sure Selena Gomez’s fundraising will help,” another user sarcastically wrote over a video of Hamas terrorists stealing a UN aid truck intended for Gaza citizens.

“Not to mention that one of the massacre victims that was considered kidnapped for over a month was a Swiftie, and many fans and even Israel’s account reached out to @taylorswift13 for help and she totally ignored them!!!” a third tweeter noted.

“Not my person of the year!!” another added.

Social media influencer Lindsay Pinchuk also slammed Swift’s presence at the fundraiser, saying in a viral video on Instagram, “When a celebrity this big makes a statement like this, the flames are fanned for more hate and antisemitism for Jewish people.”

Others, however, argued that Swift, 34, was entitled to help Palestinians suffering during the war.

“I always loved her songs. Now I’m proud to say I’m a swifty!” one person tweeted.

“What a sad, pathetic take, Megyn. She attended a comedy show with proceeds going to support HUMANITARIAN EFFORTS in Gaza, where thousands have died and more will. She also donated 1 mil to TN tornado relief efforts today, but you’ll never mention that,” a second wrote.

“I think anyone blindly supporting either side owes an apology. Both sides are pretty gross,” another chimed in.

Kelly previously called out Gigi Hadid for spreading misinformation about the Israeli government amid the conflict.

“First of all, Gigi Hadid is an idiot,” the former NBC News personality told the Daily Mail in November of the Palestinian American model. “She should concentrate [on] walking down the long runway and trying to look pretty; she does a pretty good job of that.”

Hadid, 28, posted an apology at the time after being criticized for a since-deleted Instagram post accusing Israel of the “abduction, rape, humiliation, torture [and] murder” of Palestinians for “years and years and years” before Hamas’ attack.

The “Next in Fashion” co-host has nearly 79 million Instagram followers, which is more than five times the worldwide Jewish population.

 

Fans jumped in, praising the woman’s eternal grace. “Gorgeous lady and a great lesson for all women,” writes one. “Imperfect? WHO? you are an absolute goddess,” shares a second.

How does she do it? Crushing her physique, Stone shares with Vogue that she practices mindful living, which includes healthy eating, sleeping eight hours a day, and when she’s awake, she’s always moving: “I just move my body. I do it when I’m on set. I do leg lifts and back kicks and pop down on the ground and do some jackknifes.”

The star adds that she also wears weighted bracelets and still uses the ThighMaster, popularized in the 1990s by the late Suzanne Somers. “It is sensational. I put that between my legs while I’m watching TV…It is the kind of thing you can throw in your suitcase because it doesn’t take up any space.”

Finding solace in mindfulness, the woman – a Tibetan Buddhist – successfully balances her preoccupations with family, a thriving career and aging with meditation and discipline. “Pleasure is the thing that lasts for a moment and happiness is the thing that lasts with some continuation, so if we’re not happy for several days, we start to notice.” She continues, “Are we doing these pleasurable things in any kind of excess, whatever those things might be for you? Everybody has their own vices, but if you’ve delved too deeply into your vices, you might need to shake yourself out a little.”

Whatever she’s doing, she’s doing it right.

In mid-2023, the star of Diabolique shared another sassy pin-up look, where she’s seen with her signature blonde bob and wearing the same bikini bottom, this time with the top.

Offering fans a glimpse into her Beverly Hills home, people can see in the background a coffee table piled with books, a large framed picture of Marilyn Monroe on the wall, and a black and white leaf print sofa.

“Beautiful and natural! Unlike all those pumped and filtered images around! always inspirational,” writes one fan, while another simply shares ‘Wow!”

But there’s something else in the photo that captured the attention of online users.

Peeking out from behind the pillow on the sofa is an adorable detail that stole the scene from the gorgeous actor.

The pictures showed a sweaty Vorderman lifting weights and doing cable rope curls that flaunted her buxom booty.

Fans immediately dived in, complimenting the woman on her appearance. “Fountain of youth! So young looking,” writes one, while another simply said, “Supervorders.”

Others took the opportunity to share flirty notes: “There’s no way I could keep up with you, but I would like to find out,” and a second writes, “I think I need to watch the 3rd one again another few dozen times to get the technique down.”

A third, commenting on her stable of men, writes: “Wow what a way to spend a weekend. a special friend.”

Her post comes shortly after Dermot O’Leary, who shares the screen with Vorderman on This Morning, quipped about her love life.

Vorderman–whose absence from the show that morning made her an easy target for the 50-year-old comedian–was poked fun at by O’Leary, who formerly appeared on The X Factor UK.

His co-host Alison Hammond, was unable to contain her laughter when O’Leary struck with the perfectly-timed joke about Vorderman’s “10-year-long no-strings-attached relationships with multiple men, who she calls her ‘special friends.’”

Inviting viewers to call in and speak with Hagan Fox, an astrologer who predicts the future in the stars, one lady–admitting to dating three men–phoned in, looking for some direction on “a bit of a love square.”

Giggling, Hammond asked: “Did you say love square?”

Dermot jumped in saying, “You wouldn’t be Carol Vorderman, would you?”

Vorderman, the former presenter of Loose Women, is very candid with her personal life and earlier, she shared in an interview that her relationship with multiple men is a great setup as she doesn’t want to be in love.

Single since she split from journalist Des Kelly in 2007, Vorderman–married to Christopher Mather (1985 to 1986) and then to the dad of her two kids, Patrick King from (1990 to 2000)–said she appreciates the independence and freedom of being single.

“I don’t want to marry again. I don’t want to live with a man again. Have to look after him all the time. But this is a time to break this nonsense taboo, which is a person should only be looking for one other person who satisfies everything in their life. That’s hell.”

Saying that she’s not a jealous person, Vorderman explained her lovers are all single men, still looking for others, and that “there’s no harm being done. It’s a happy place to live.”

“They don’t know each other, but they know about it. It’s a very honest relationship,” she said of the five men she calls her “special friends.” “One’s been a friend for 11 years, one for seven. My kids [Katie, 31, and Cameron, 25], know most of them.”

And, serving as proof of her sentiments of being single, she posted an adorable video where she’s lip-syncing and dancing to the song, “It’s Raining Men.”

Praising her enviable dance moves, fans jumped in with comments like, “Carol that is brilliant it’s raining men’s brilliant dance moves,” and “The Lord has defeated the Borg. Resistance is Futile.” Another netizen writes, “Bloody gorgeous woman.”

Carol Vorderman is very disciplined with her workout regimen and we applaud her for staying true to herself and her relationships!

«How can we unsee this?», «Leaving a lot to be desired!», «How was it even possible to change like this?», «Time spares no one!», «Sorry but she looks like a villain or the most evil character of a movie».

«And she was Delon’s muse back then?», «This doesn’t deny the fact that she is a talented and outstanding actress», «The cinema hasn’t ever known a more accomplished and desirable actress».

Despite these concerns, there’s an undeniable admiration for Hawn and Russell’s relationship. Fans continue to express love for the couple, praising their compatibility and enduring bond. It serves as a reminder that, for many, their relationship symbolizes more than Hollywood glamour; it represents lasting commitment and mutual support.

In the midst of various opinions, Goldie Hawn’s perspective remains grounded in her love with Russell. She shared a recent experience when Russell looked at her and expressed disbelief at how beautiful she looked, underscoring the deep affection and admiration that define their relationship.

 

Their daughter, Kate Hudson, has also acknowledged the special bond between her mother and Russell. She has publicly admired their enduring love, expressing curiosity about how they have remained so in love all these years. The relationship between Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell continues to captivate fans, showcasing that love and connection can withstand the challenges of time in the dynamic world of Hollywood.

Agnetha Fältskog, the iconic songstress who rose to stardom as part of the legendary band ABBA, continues to captivate hearts with her timeless beauty.

Known for hits like “Dancing Queen” and “Take a Chance on Me,” Agnetha Fältskog’s contributions to the global music scene have left an indelible mark.

However, recent images of the singer have fans reminiscing about the past and marveling at her ageless allure.

“Beautiful Woman – this is how I remember her,” reflects the sentiment of admirers who have followed Fältskog’s career from its ABBA heyday to the present. The singer, often hailed for her angelic voice and striking features, has become a symbol of elegance and grace.

While the entertainment industry is notorious for its emphasis on youth, Agnetha Fältskog’s enduring beauty challenges the conventional notions of aging. The recent photos of the Swedish sensation have sparked a wave of admiration and nostalgia among fans who appreciate not only her musical legacy but also her ability to age gracefully.

Social media platforms are abuzz with discussions about Fältskog’s age-defying appearance, with fans expressing awe and admiration for the singer’s radiant and natural demeanor. Many are quick to praise her for embracing the aging process with confidence and poise.

At 72, Agnetha Fältskog continues to be an inspiration to generations old and new. Her ability to maintain a sense of allure and sophistication serves as a testament to the enduring power of true talent and inner beauty.

As fans celebrate Agnetha Fältskog’s everlasting charm, it’s clear that the “Beautiful Woman” of ABBA fame remains an enduring symbol of grace, reminding us all that age is but a number, and true beauty transcends the passage of time.

“It’s challenging. It’s difficult not to compare oneself to societal beauty standards. But over the past eight years, I’ve undergone a significant transformation. I feel liberated, like a wild animal,” Cameron shared with Michelle regarding her evolved perspective on beauty.

As a mother, Cameron favors a natural and low-maintenance approach to skincare. She prefers not to devote excessive time to her appearance.

“Honestly, I couldn’t care less. I hardly ever think about my looks. It’s probably the least of my concerns each day. I don’t even bother washing my face,” Cameron candidly admitted to Michelle.

Occasionally, Cameron reverts to her old habits and uses various creams and lotions, but it’s rare. She quipped, “I’ll think, ‘Oh, I should probably apply this. Once should suffice, right? Is that all I have to do?’ I simply lack the energy for it now.”

By minimizing her preoccupation with her appearance, Cameron can prioritize more meaningful aspects of life, such as caring for her daughter, Raddix, born in January 2020.

Cher and Sonny Bono were one of America’s most talked-about couples. They were not only in the news for their admirable romance; their house choice kept many people talking. Let’s take a look at the two mansions the pair purchased.

Cher is best known as an American singer, actress, and television personality. Although she is currently 75 years old, she is still recognized as one of the best entertainers. But what was her life away from the spotlight like?

Cher enjoyed a fantastic career, but the same cannot be said about her personal life, especially her marriages. She has been married and divorced twice, and she is a doting mother to two children, who she shares with her former husbands.

INSIDE BONO AND CHER’S RELATIONSHIP

The actress’s first marriage was to the late singer, actor, and politician Sonny Bono and is perhaps one of her highest profiles to date. The couple had many interesting times together, but unfortunately, their happily ever after never happened.

Cher and Bono walked down the aisle in the mid-1960s after several years of a steamy romance. The late politician met his former wife when she was only sixteen years old.

At the time, Bono was 27 years old and separated from his first wife, Donna Rankin. However, he was still legally married. Though Bono and Cher’s relationship was simply platonic at first, the duo soon got involved after living together for a while.

Cher, who was abandoned by her dad, Johnny Sarkisian, attracted the actor because he had a striking resemblance with her father. Not only did she find love, but Cher also found protection in Bono. To her, he was the father with which she never got to have a relationship.

The lovebirds became the typical Hollywood power couple, collaborating and singing on multiple songs, including the 1965 hit “I Got You Babe” and “The Beat Goes On,” released two years later.

As Cher and Bono’s fame grew, so did their love for each other. In 1964, they had a faux marriage ceremony, but it was not until later they officially tied the knot. Apart from having a sweet love story, the former couple was famous for buying mansions in California.

THE COUPLE’S BEL AIR HOME

Their first apartment was located at 364 St. Cloud Road, Bel Air, California, and was sold by Tony Curtis. During an interview, Cher recalled how she and Bono knew about the mansion and purchased it in 1967.

Upon their arrival at the location, Cher was stunned by the gorgeous edifice. Luckily for the couple, Curtis had moved out six months prior and was willing to sell for $250,000.

The luxury home, which was built in the 1930s, had six bedrooms, high ceilings, billiard rooms, a wood-paneled library, a banquet-sized dining room as well as a great swimming pool. After seeing the fine 1930s home, Cher and Bono did not need much convincing.
