Singer Celine Dion is the biggest water utility user along Florida's Treasure Coast, consuming 6.5 million gallons in a year, a newspaper reported Sunday.

The Palm Beach (Fla.) Post reported its investigation of water usage records for Martin County, Fla., utility users found many of the biggest consumers were on wealthy Jupiter Island, where Dion's company, Renlec Management, owns 5.7 acres. Her estate reportedly went through enough water in a one-year period to fill a 50-gallon bathtub every four minutes.

Did you mean Entertainer pig?

[TexasCajun]

That plus her jet-setting carbon-footprint should land her right on top of the Hollywood Hypocrites List.

And when New Orleans was looted, she said, so what?

“Let them touch those things!” Idiot.

I wonder how she would feel if her Las Vegas home was looted.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Celine Dion is all wet.

[NormsRevenge]

damn,, 6.5 million gallons, ? wasn’t she doing vegas for a couple years, sounds like she left the water running once or twice..

[kcvl]

the L.A. song that Dion recorded for her new album, "Taking Chances," hardly matches that glitz. "Skies of L.A." is in fact a despairing song about the global environmental crisis.

I don't know if tomorrow has a day

I don't know if the rays will shine my way

All I know is that I'm standing in a place where

My future looks like the skies of L.A.

Skies of L.A., skies of L.A.

I don't know if my body can take much more

We're in the land of the richest riches

But my mind seems so poor

******

"Oh, they're stealing 20 pair of jeans or they're stealing television sets. Who cares? They're not going to go too far with it. Maybe those people are so poor, some of the people who do that they're so poor they've never touched anything in their lives. Let them touch those things for once."

took a double swipe at U.S. war policy while criticizing the recovery effort

"How come it's so easy to send planes in another country to kill everyone in a second, to destroy lives?" she asked.

"I open the television, there's people still there waiting to be rescued and for me it's not acceptable. I know there's reasons for it. I'm sorry to say I'm being rude but I don't want to hear those reasons."

Actually at 6.5 mgals/yr. that would be more like every half hour, not four minutes. But it is still a lot of water.

[Redcloak]

Maybe she’s got a leak somewhere.

[Joe 6-pack]

Someone needs to tell her to jiggle the handle on her commode.

[gathersnomoss]

Well look at that, guilt sells. Ask any POS political hero.

[mikrofon]

It apparently takes a lot to maintain that vanity pool with her personal mock-up of the Titanic...

[RckyRaCoCo]

that’s a lot of toilet flushing

[Redcloak]

She should already have staff around to do that.

Her vegas gig was part of a negotiated deal to pay off her husbands massive gambling debts at Ceasers palace.

[17th Miss Regt]

Actually at 6.5 mgals/yr. that would be more like every half hour, not four minutes. But it is still a lot of water.

6,500,000/(365*24*60)=12.367 gallons per minute, which is about 50 gallons every 4 minutes. The article is correct.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

can’t be from showering, she’s french.

[fanfan]

She should move back to Canada is she wants to use that much fresh water.
There are 3.2 quadrillion gallons of water in lake Superior alone.

She could live with the bears, in the wild.
Where no one could hear her sing.
