Celine Dion shuts down parody website

Ridiculous Pictures of Celine Dion forced to close after singer files cease and desist order

Celine Dion has taken legal action to force the closure of a blog publishing silly photographs of her, according to reports. Our Lady of Histrionics took offence to the website Ridiculous Pictures of Celine Dion, dispatching her lawyers with a cease and desist order.

"Celine Dion found our blog, and she didn't like it," said Nick Angiolillo, who founded the site. His concept was simple: posting ridiculous pictures of Celine Dion. But after months of rejoicing in her snarls, grins and grimaces, he received an unsympathetic letter last week. "Do you think i'm in celine dion's burn book?" he asked on Twitter. "Remember that time i ran the most popular celine dion blog on the internet and her lawyers forced me to shut it down?"

While Angiolillo hasn't gone into the details of Dion's complaint, he insists the copyrighted images were "well within the realm of 'fair use'". He claims money, not principle, forced him to delete the archives and post a goodbye message. "The dream is over," he wrote. "I can't afford even 1 hour of a lawyer's time to draft a [reply] letter for me."

On the bright side, Angiolillo intends to frame the letter from Dion's lawyers. And he still runs the blog Star Jones in Hats, featuring images of US TV personality Star Jones wearing a succession of hats. But the blogger may have had the last laugh. At some point, on whatever diamond-encrusted laptop Celine Dion uses to surf the web, she must have come across Angiolillo's site. And in that moment, we can imagine, her face was – oh yes – ridiculous indeed.

Her freakishly long neck disturbs me a little.
And according to Wikipedia, she's only 43. :eek: She's always looked about 10 years older than she really is.

in other words unless she is as thick as a plank (and I don't mean Max Planck) this has to be a publicity stunt

Céline Dion always struck me as mildly hilarious, amusing in the way that all middle aged histrionic Frenchwomen tend to be. These pictures make her more so, but it's a pity she felt the need to try to censor them. If anything they make her seem more human, more likeable, and surely in that case, more popular.

I for one welcome Céline's hideous facemaking. They even make her more attractive, in my opinion.

Is there anyone who could resurrect a photo of her in her pre-orthodontic days?

Let's just say she could eat a peach through a tennis racquet.

Angus deaton is in my top 5 would-love-to-KTFO list.

Celine is full of corny acty-ness.

Long live the internet.

In the same way a plastic bag would make her more attractive, maybe.

Google says: No results found for "flattering pictures of Deline Dion".

Celine has always made silly, ridiculous faces
why the LONG face

I wish I had the money to magically fix my teeth like Celine

She's just horsing around.

(Honestly if Sarah Jessica Parker was smart she'd go meet Celine Dion , get her photo taken with her and then flood it all over the internet. No more horse face jokes)

mike65

She and Sarah Jessica Parker could be sisters mother/daughter

Irish Guitarist

What the hell is wrong with her? Why doesn't she like people ridiculing her? She must have some kind of mental illness.

stimpson

In fairness to Sarah Jessica Parker she wrote to the guy behind www.sarahjessicaparkerlookslikeahorse.com and told him how much she enjoyed it. And sugarlumps.

Laura_lolly87

If I was Sarah Jessica Parker I would have gotten that wart removed off my face. In fairness she can afford it.

IIRC it used to be the done thing in Rome.

A big thank you to Celine Dion who has highlighted the existence of such a website.
