Celine Dion’s well kept secret!

Celine Dion recently said she had to postpone her tour once again because of serious health problems.

It seems that this was not the only secret that the diva was hiding for some time to her public…

Indeed, Celine would be working on her autobiography with the writer Laurence Catinot-Cross!

The Frenchwoman confided to La Dépêche that the two women have been in contact for a year and a half to work on this project, which should see the light of day at the end of the summer.

She added during this interview that there would be nothing scandalous in this book, but that there would still be “some scoops” and “confidences”!

A great project that will not go unnoticed!

Will you be among those who will buy the autobiography?

Hailie Jade Mathers, daughter of Eminem, is engaged!

Hailie Jade Mathers, Eminem‘s daughter, got engaged to her boyfriend Evan McClintock, making several young men a little jealous…

Hailie actually shared photos of the moment via her Instagram account!

On one of the photos, we can see Evan McClintock, one knee on the ground, asking Hailie to become his wife. The sequence is adorable, and this one, because she is Eminem‘s daughter, has made the rounds a couple of times.

Hailie, 27, received a diamond ring last Saturday, while a professional photographer was present at the romantic engagement to immortalize it all.

The young man was dressed in a big black coat, white pants and beige shoes, when he got down on one knee to propose to his future wife, dressed in a black leather jacket, black jeans and black boots.

The two lovebirds have reportedly been together since 2016. At least, that’s the year Hailie first posted about him on her Instagram account, as she turned 21!

Most importantly in this adventure, Hailie’s famous dad reportedly approves of her relationship, which must be quite a relief for Evan!

“She has a boyfriend, but she’s doing great. She made me proud, that’s for sure,” Eminem mentioned during his visit to the Hot Boxin’ podcast in 2020.

Ben Affleck’s miserable look at the Grammys is still the talk of the town!

Jennifer Lopez looked like she was having a blast at the 2023 Grammy Awards, but her husband Ben Affleck looked pretty… miserable there!

The lovebirds quickly became a social media sensation last Sunday at the Grammy Awards, and still are, but not for the reasons you might think.

While the singer seemed to be having fun and enjoying the evening, it’s rather the actor’s expression (or rather lack of expression) that got people talking… and that continues to get people talking two days later!

“Ben Affleck wants to go home Jen! 😂.” said a user on Twitter accompanied by a TikTok video where we see Ben Affleck completely still in a crowd of stars (including The Rock and Taylor Swift) dancing during a musical performance!

The hilarious moment was just one of the many embarrassing moments the actor had during the evening, as he is a regular of spontaneous melancholic moments.

But Affleck’s look didn’t stop J. Lo from enjoying her evening, as she commented “Always the best time with my love, my husband 🤍” under a video montage of the event on Instagram!

A thief in distress saved by the coast guard

Without knowing it, the U.S. Coast Guard rescued an individual who had previously stolen a boat off the Oregon coast last Friday!

The images of the rescue are breathtaking, as the waves whipped the man, who clung to the railing of the boat, which had capsized due to the power of the storm.

The team flew to the vessel by helicopter following an emergency call from an individual, and eventually pulled him out with a winch.

At the time of the rescue, the rescuers didn’t know they were rescuing a “thief”, but quickly realized what was going on…

The authorities finally arrested the man after he was treated and his body heat increased a bit.

Brendan Gallagher and his girlfriend are having a blast in the Caribbean!

It is known that the valiant warrior of the Montreal Canadiens currently injured, Brendan Gallagher, is in a relationship with a Quebecer named Emma Fortin. Emma is a doctoral candidate and has a familiar face on social networks.

The two lovebirds are currently on vacation in the Caribbean because of the CH’s week off. Even though Gally is injured, he’s spending time in the Habs’ infrastructure, so he gets to enjoy the time off too!

The pictures that Emma shared are majestic and the exchanges between the couple in the comments section are really cute!

We can see that number 11 is very much in love…

Gorgeous images, and in Gallagher’s face, you can see how serene he is.

He can count on it in the most difficult moments, as is the case right now.

Let’s remember that Brendan Gallagher has been on the sidelines since January 4, having played his last game on January 3 against the Nashville Predators.

In 25 games, he has only four goals and five assists.

Peyton Manning’s 11 year old son was wreaking havoc at the Pro Bowl!

Marshall Manning, the 11-year-old son of Peyton Manning, showed off his incredible arm during the NFL’s Pro Bowl weekend.

At the All-Star event in Las Vegas, the young Manning took the ball for some warm-up and cool-down drills during the festivities.

He was truly impressive, throwing the ball briskly to Marcus Pollard, a friend and former teammate of his father. You could even see Ray Lewis involved during this sequence, making it all look majestic.

Marshall also threw accurate passes to Vikings star Justin Jefferson. In addition to these sequences, he caught a “touchdown” pass during the flag football warm-up.

In short, Marshall’s potential is palpable, but he has to wait another three years before he faces the big high school defenders. He has the potential of his family, the Manning’s, which could get him to the big league (NFL).

The most mythical rap album is back in streaming

One of the greatest masterpieces in rap history released in 1992, Dr. Dre‘s The Chronic album, is now back on streaming after Snoop Dogg, now owner of Death Row Records, took it down last March.

But since Dre has reunited with Interscope Records, he’ll be able to reissue the album in CD and vinyl formats, and put it back on streaming, which is very fitting, especially since the album is celebrating its 30th anniversary.

The album is legendary and propelled the careers of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, and the early success of Suge Knight and Death Row.

Recall that Dre and Snoop performed the number one single from this album, “Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang,” at the historic halftime show at last year’s Super Bowl LVI. The success of the performance was immense, proving how Dre ‘s music stands the test of time.

Death Row also boasts classic albums like Snoop’ s “Doggystyle” and Tha Dogg Pound‘s “Dogg Food”. These albums are no longer streaming, however, but should be back online soon.
