Surely she has set enough money set aside, and has enough residuals coming in that she can just retire?

Quit abusing herself and her fans?

“Let zem tuch nize tings for wunz!” - Celine Dion on response to looters.
She’d feel differently if they touched her or her things.

Looters stealing big screen TVs and anything they could carry during Hurricane Katrina. She says of the lawbreakers, “Let them touch these things for once”.

She was gorgeous...once upon a time. Today she looks like a survivor of Dachau.

That has to be such acute torment. I truly hope she receives consolation from Christ as she endures and contemplates it.

This lady needs to chill out. Get a nice comfy couch and a cat by the ocean and let the world go on without her. We will survive. I promise.

Her version of Ave Maria and O Holy Night are beautiful.

I can appreciate her talent even if I don’t agree with her politics.

The toll a raging eating disorder takes on a person is awful.

Actually she’s equivalent to Bidens daughter Ashley.
She was 14 when she first signed on to her manager Rene.
Rebe groomed her then married her.

Stiff Person Syndrome (SPS)

https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/stiff-person-syndrome-sps

is a rare autoimmune neurological disorder that most commonly causes muscle stiffness and painful spasms that come and go and can worsen over time. However, some people experience other symptoms such as an unsteady gait, double vision or slurred speech. SPS symptoms are thought to be related to which type of SPS a person has.

Although there is no treatment that cures stiff person syndrome, working with a specialist and maintaining symptom control can make it easier to live with the condition.

SPS most commonly develops in people ages 40 to 50, but in rare cases, it occurs in children and older adults. SPS is thought to affect one to two people in a million. However, SPS experts now consider the syndrome to be a spectrum of disorders, which means it is likely more common than originally thought, although still rare.
