Update 2: An eagle-eyed reader of Page2Live tells me he ran into Celine Dion in an elevator of Good Samaritan Hospital in West Palm Beach a week ago. She was accompanied by a man, not hubby Rene Angelil, but she looked troubled. She came stepped into the downward elevator on the fourth floor, which houses the oncology department. Her publicist, Kim Jakwerth, says Dion indeed was at the hospital that night, but to visit a friend who eventually died of cancer.

Update: Kim Jakwerth, Celine Dion’s most helpful publicist (and there ain’t too many of those in Hollywood!), issued this statement a few minutes ago: “Mr. Angelil was in the hospital for a procedure which had been planned for months . . . not heart surgery. Today, he’s back at home.” At least, this is what Dion’s people are telling her. 

Rene Angelil, the much-older husband of Canadian songbird Celine Dion, is in an undisclosed hospital, possibly in South Florida, to recover from a medical procedure reportedly related to a heart ailment.

A source close to the family tells Page2Live that the 67-year-old music impresario’s life was never in immediate danger.

Still, it could be several days until he is released.

“We heard he’s got some kind of arterial blockage,” the source said. “The prognosis is good. He could be out within two days but he could also be kept in for a week.”

The source added that Angelil has been unable to conduct routine business for several days.

Angelil’s brother-in-law, Jupiter resident Alain Sylvestre, declined comment.

“I can’t talk about that right now,” he said. “I’m under strict orders.”

And the 41-year-old Dion’s L.A. publicist, Kim Jakwerth, said she hasn’t been told of any problem involving Angelil.

“I’m checking into it but I haven’t heard back from Celine’s people,” Jakwerth said. “It must’ve been a quick in-and-out thing because they usually tell me.”

It seems that heart trouble has been plaguing Angelil for a while. He said in past interviews that he suffered a near-fatal heart attack at 50.

As they wait for their home on Jupiter Island to be finished, Dion — whose signature tune is My Heart Will Go On — and Angelil have been living on-and-off at The Bears Club, golfer Jack Nicklaus’ development in Jupiter.

The lovebirds, it seems, like to have their medical procedures done in this area. When he was diagnosed with throat cancer in 1999, it’s in South Florida that Angelil sought treatment. And when Dion tried to get pregnant, doctors in Palm Beach County took care of that business.

A poker virtuoso and inveterate gambler, Angelil just published The Art of Winning, an autobiography.
