Celine Dion is taking a break from her professional life for unfortunate personal reasons. According to People, Dion has postponed her Las Vegas residency, canceled her tour of Asia and postponed all show business activities indefinitely due to her husband’s health issues. In December, René Angélil had a tumor removed from his throat last December and this illness has resulted in “a very difficult and stressful time,” the singer tells the magazine. She adds: “I want to devote every ounce of my strength and energy to my husband’s healing, and to do so, it’s important for me to dedicate this time to him and to our children. I also want to apologize to all my fans everywhere, for inconveniencing them, and I thank them so much for their love and support.” The 46-year old artist is also suffering from inflammation in her throat muscles, which has prevented her from performing her show at Caesars Palace since July 29. She and Angélil are the parents of three children and Dion forever won us over by extending a concert invitation to the awesome dude who covered All By Myself inside the Las Vegas airport in June.

My favorite family photos are framed in my house, not posted on social media.” “They’ll remain there. They would’ve wound up on the news or blogs then, and certainly would now.

Cameron Diaz has been making the media rounds lately to promote her new comedy Sex Tape . She’s covered Esquire , talked about her nude scenes, and raced Jimmy Fallon on a kayak . For the most part, it’s been the typical A-list star promoting new project stuff, and Cameron has maintained her usual balance of outspoken, yet polite. Earlier today, however, when an Australian radio DJ made an insensitive remark about Diaz’ friend and former co-star Drew Barrymore, Cameron was having none of it. Cameron called into an Aussie morning show along with Sex Tape co-star Jason Segel, and things quickly went south as host Kyle Sandilands decided that Barrymore’s near-deadly childhood drug addiction was ripe comedy material: The conversation started innocently enough with Sandilands remarking that the actress who plays Cameron’s daughter in Sex Tape reminds him Drew Barrymore. Cameron agreed, and Sandilands quickly offered up this gem: “Let’s hope she misses out on the Drew Barrymore drug years, because those were a great thing to watch, but not so good to be in I’d imagine.” Diaz went silent for a moment, before responding, “I’m sure, Kyle, you’ve never been through a drug phase, have you? Or alcoholism or anything like that? Pretty clean? Always did it right? Congratulations!” Following a second or two of stunned silence on Sandilands’ side Cameron blurted, “We have to go now,” and quickly hung up. Take note, obnoxious radio hosts: don’t trash talk Diaz’ friends or she’ll go full Killer Cam on you. Cameron Diaz Esquire Photos 1. Cameron Diaz Esquire Image Holy hotness, Cameron Diaz!
