Might be a bit early to run around claiming drugs killed Whitney Houston. Maybe we should instead wait to hear from the coroner to start making public statements? Of course the first thing I thought was that Whitney died from some sort of drug overdose (with her history it’s not a big stretch), but I wouldn’t go out and claim it publicly!

Speaking this morning via phone on Good Morning America, Celine Dion didn’t hold back when talking about Houston’s troubled life and legendary career.

“It’s just really unfortunate that drugs, bad people, bad influences took over her dreams, her motherhood,” the French-Canadian star, 43, said of Houston, who famously fessed up in a 2002 interview with Diane Sawyer about using cocaine, marijuana and pills. “When you think about Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson . . . To get into drugs like that for whatever reason–because of stress, bad influence, whatever.”

Dion lamented that her immensely talented idol, who left behind daughter Bobbi Kristina, apparently succumbed like other superstars before her. “What happens when you have everything? Love, support, motherhood…Something happens that I don’t understand. That’s why I’m scared of show business, of drugs and hanging out. That’s why I don’t go to parties!”

What do you think? Was Celine out of line – or do you agree with her?

She welcomed twin sons only four months ago, and Celine Dion’s body is looking better than ever!

“As a performer I think I’m at my best right now, and as a mom I can’t wish for anything better,” said Dion, who is also the mother of 10-year-old son Rene-Charles. “To feel loved and wanted is the greatest thing, and I feel wanted. They got us back.”

The 42-year-old “My Heart Will Go On” singer, whose first successful Vegas Show closed after five years in 2007, is going old-school for this new revue at Caesars Palace. With a mix of her own songs and classic hits, the show features multiple costume-changes and a 31-person orchestra.

After the sell-out performance, she talked to reporters about balancing motherhood and work.

“It never ends,” she said. “I still (breast)feed my children every four hours. So I do not have a full night’s sleep. Before I start singing, I always say to my kids, ‘This is for you.’”

Celine Dion is welcomed back to Las Vegas, NV where she arrived with husband René Angelil, son Rene-Charles and the newest additions to their family, twins Nelson and Eddie Angelil. Dion, 43, and Angelil, 68, conceived Nelson and Eddy (named after civil rights icon Nelson Mandela and French songwriter Eddy Marnay) after five failed IVF attempts.

Celine is back in Sin City for a new upcoming Vegas show.

That’s not all Celine was debuting! Wowza!

Celine Dion has unveiled her new fraternal twin boys, Eddy and Nelson, in a new cover story for her native Canada’s Hello! Magazine.

The twins, born in October, had Dion gushing. “They’re so cute, it’s incredible,” she said. “When we look at them we can’t believe it, and to have them here at home – it’s all we could wish for.”

“They’re feeding every two hours now,” she continued. “It’s going well. I don’t get a lot of sleep, yes, for sure I’m tired, but that’s what I want.”

Dion, who with husband Rene Angelil has a nine-year old son named named Rene-Charles, spent years trying to get pregnant again, going through IVF treatments and suffering a miscarriage. So the couple wanted to give the twins meaningful names.

“We met with Nelson Mandela and spent some time with him at his house when we started Celine’s world tour,” Rene said. “Eddy is an homage to Eddy Marnay,” he added, referring to the songwriter that wrote Dion’s first five albums and died a few years ago.
