Céline Dion was “full of energy” at Habs game

It was very comforting.”

It’s safe to say that Céline Dion didn ‘t go unnoticed this week, due to her visit to the Montreal Canadiens, when the team was in Las Vegas as part of a few-game road trip.

A visit that has been the talk of the town ever since!

Chantal Machabée , vice-president of communications for the blue-white-and-red team, who had the great good fortune to meet her, spoke to TVA Sports about this wonderful moment.

The latter, who posed with the diva, revealed how the meeting went and how she found the star during the encounter.

Although Chantal made no attempt to judge the singer’s state of health, she did admit that it was “comforting” to see the Céline that Quebec knows: “full of energy, smiling and funny”!

What’s more, according to the VP, the singer was in a festive mood, as she chatted and cracked jokes.

“We were very moved to see her like that (…),” Machabée adds to TVA Sports.

Her visit lasted 45 minutes, during which she chatted with the tricolore’s coach and players, many of whom enjoyed a privileged moment in Céline’s company.

“They were all very impressed. Not one of them didn’t show up. Everyone had stars in their eyes,” says Chantal Machabée.

It was certainly a magical moment for the CH organization, but also for the public, who witnessed a still-strong Céline!

TVA fires more than 500 employees, PKP explains why

“Refocus TVA on its role as a broadcaster only.”

It was quite a thunderclap in the television landscape that made itself felt mid-afternoon on Thursday (November 2), as TVA announced the layoff of more than 500 employees.

“TVA Group is no longer viable”, we learned a little later from Pierre Karl Péladeau himself, who performed an astonishing exercise at a press conference detailing the reasons for and implications of this decision.

A decision that includes several others in an overall plan, including that of “refocusing TVA on its role as a broadcaster only”.

With the help of charts, PKP explains that digital platforms have forced a radical change in the Quebec television industry.

“We reiterate the urgent need to act,” Péladeau goes on to say.

“There is no question of Groupe TVA disappearing from Quebec’s media and television landscape,” insists a convinced Pierre Karl Péladeau.

Do we love it, or not?

Kourtney Kardashian is currently pregnant with a baby boy with Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, and the couple have just announced the official name of their little boy, due in the next few weeks.

The Kardashians are well known for giving their children original names… and this couple is no exception!

According to E News, it looks like the baby’s name will be “Rocky Thirteen”, a name chosen by the father in honor of guitarist Rocky George and… because he likes the number 13.

The name was apparently decided back in June.

Kourtney Kardashian is already the mother of three children: Mason, Penelope and Reign Disick…

…while Travis Barker is also the father of two children, Landon and Alabama Barker.

So, do we like Rocky or not?

The presence of Céline Dion’s sons at her side contradicts rumours

Céline proved to many that her family is still strong.

Céline Dion surprised everyone by making a rare appearance since the announcement of her health problems, at the last Montreal Canadiens game in Las Vegas.

She was able to meet some members of the team in the company of her three sons.

It should be remembered that for some time there had been rumours that the singer and her son René-Charles were no longer speaking to each other… this seems to contradict the rumours and invalidate at least part of this theory.

Indeed, René-Charles seemed very happy to visit the CH leadership group in the company of his mother and brothers, Nelson and Eddy, who of course have been living in Las Vegas for years now.

Céline’s outing to visit the blue-white-and-red team not only showed that she’s still in good shape, it also proved to many that her family is as strong as ever, as she beamed alongside her twins and eldest son.

We were delighted to see Céline with a smile on her face.

And we’re not the only ones, since her field hockey outing has been the talk of the town for the past two days!

«De la belle visite!»
