Vegas Finally Stripped of Celine Dion!

1/5/07, 12:17 pm EST

Celine Dion

The term Happy New Year has taken on new relevance.
Celine Dion’s five-year reign of terror over the Las Vegas strip has finally ended. Her final performance at Caesars Palace is scheduled for December 15th. We think we should take this as a sign of good things to come in the year ahead. We’re talking about things we never dreamed would come to pass! Things that will fill our hearts with hope for our future and those of our kids. We’re speaking metaphorically here…we actually aren’t that fond of children. Still, we’re hoping for more developments that will put a bounce in our step and a song in our heart (just not one of Celine’s). We’re looking for something that will make us smash our Smiths records. (No worries, we put them all on our iPod years ago).

Here’s our carefully considered list of whimsical fantasies we’d like to see fulfilled in the wake of the liberation of Las Vegas for good and decent degenerates. Let us know if you think we missed any of the essentials:

  • A Britney comeback—because the former America’s sweetheart now looks like a poster child for America’s Most Wanted.
  • A Gilmore Girls renaissance. They took away Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks never had a chance, and The O.C. is now D.O.A. We NEED Gilmore Girls to stop sucking and return to its early whip-smart glory.
  • A Pavement reunion. No explanation necessary. We’re gunning for Coachella 2007 as the time and the place. Or…in our cousin’s den. He’s got awesome acoustics. Whatever they prefer.
  • Better personal hygiene. We’re starting to get a bit rank…just sayin’.

I’m not sure I want to see any of those things happen. Well, apart from the hygiene bit.

Mr. Shankly | 1/5/2007, 12:54 pm EST

I would like to see Pavement live.

I took my mom to see that mindless dreck in 2003 for her birthday. I’m amazed I didn’t succumb to alcoholism after having to suffer through that. Let the signs of the apocalypse reverse!

Pavement stinks.

At least when Celine was in Vegas she was stuck there and it was easy to avoid her, now she’s free to visit her wrath down upon everyone the world over. We’re all doomed, if the sun doesn’t burn us to death first.

Hate hate hate… No wonder why Americans are doing war overseas.

Tim | 1/5/2007, 2:51 pm EST

You forgot to mention Celine Dion`s husband is 300 years old. In 2007 I would like to see 90s grunge queen Courtney Love up on stage again in front of her adoring fan.

Neds Fresh Sister | 1/5/2007, 3:07 pm EST

Hopefully she stays south, we don’t want her.

NY Nate | 1/5/2007, 3:33 pm EST

Yes, John in Canada…every single American citizen is “doing war overseas” due to our overwhelming and uncontrollable hatred of all things un-American…it’s not just our government. Don’t be upset just because you live in the New Jersey of North America. And don’t assume that all Americans are as dumb as our dictator…er, President, ’cause I’ll bomb you.

Jim in Canada | 1/5/2007, 4:56 pm EST

John you are a dumbass

Brian | 1/5/2007, 5:58 pm EST

YAY for pavement!!!

cheesecrop | 1/5/2007, 7:31 pm EST

Enough w/ Britney!!!

LoveU2 | 1/5/2007, 7:50 pm EST

Speaking of Vegas… the new Cirque Beatles show ‘LOVE’ is REALLY good, I recomend it to everybody. No matter if you like or don’t like the Beatles, it’s just AMAZING with everything that they do on stage!

NJ Jarod | 1/5/2007, 9:57 pm EST

NY NATE, why you hatin on New Jersey?

Harold Shand | 1/6/2007, 12:30 am EST

I want to see David Byrne stop being a dick for five minutes and deliver the Talking Heads reunion I expected after their rock-hall induction.

Harold Shand | 1/6/2007, 12:30 am EST

That’s my New Year’s wish

MIMIS | 1/6/2007, 5:11 am EST

GET A LIFE

benson | 1/6/2007, 4:33 pm EST

I’m interested to see how Brit’s gonna use her new press action to make another 100 mil….

boatman | 1/6/2007, 8:43 pm EST

I just want a new Bowie album in 2007.

STRATCAT | 1/6/2007, 9:58 pm EST

I want a Roxy Music reunion with Brian Eno, I want a Lou Reed back to form album like his eighties classic “The Blue Mask”,and how bout a reunion of the classic Mott the Hoople line up ala album “Mott” with a killer tour and album.
Now that’s not asking for too much is it?
Cheers!

David Schwartz | 1/7/2007, 8:06 pm EST

Isn’t Michael Jackon taking over for Celine? That’s the local buzz in Las Vegas. Come on Rolling Stone, you should know…!

benson | 1/7/2007, 8:38 pm EST

I heard it was Rod Stewart

NiB | 1/7/2007, 10:01 pm EST

Screw that, I want arrested development back not the friggin gilmore girls.

princess lechecul | 1/7/2007, 10:29 pm EST

paris hilton, with britney and nicole as back up singer and dancer

Kevin | 1/8/2007, 4:38 am EST

Goodbye Celine.Hello Prince.

jayshayloveyou | 1/8/2007, 8:39 am EST

celine was great, then good, now ok. it wouldbe nice for some of the newer artist of the 2000s era to take that stage for the younger generation to keep music alive!

Wayne | 2/1/2007, 6:48 am EST

Celine, as the biggest selling female artist of all time (some 243 million records sold) deserves some more respect

Charles | 2/23/2008, 2:50 am EST

I agree with the comment about giving Celine some respect. Rollingstone writers obviously do not like Celine but even if her style annoys you, her voice (specifically for the first 10-15 years of her career) was 1 in a billion. She is truly a gifted vocalist (200 million buyers of her albums at least think so)
