Dion and her elderly husband, Rene Angelil

There’s a good reason why Canadian songbird Celine Dion has been flying below the radar over the past few months.

Holed up in a rented house at the Bear’s Club in Jupiter while her waterpark-outfitted castle on Jupiter Island is being finished, Dion suffered a miscarriage, according to her husband.

And the singer of My Heart Will Go On then went through another unsuccessful attempt at artificial insemination, he told the French Canadian Journal de Montreal.

A third attempt is scheduled this weekend in New York.

The 41-year-old Dion’s hubby and manager, Rene Angelil, told the newspaper that Dion became pregnant in August but lost the baby a week and a half later.

Said Rene, who’s 67: “We are living the same reality as the majority of couples who face these techniques of procreation. The road can be long and arduous. It doesn’t always work like it did the first time with (their son, born at Palms West in Loxahatchee in 2001) Rene-Charles. In August, the doctor believed that the pregnancy had started well. It wasn’t the case. We were in shock.

“But you know Celine. She doesn’t let go. We are not discouraged.”

Hey, guys, here’s a novel idea: How ’bout an adoption?

    The problem is Celine’s husband, Rene, is a very old man with weak, elderly sperm. Just because Rene can pop those viagra, doesn’t mean he is up to the task of making a baby.

    Celine needs a young stud with good genes to get her knocked up. Call me.

    Hey Procrastinator, I am already first in line to provide her what she needs!

    Something tells me viagara isn’t enough for Rene, since, according to the article, another go at artificial insemination was unsuccessful. This indicates that Rene can’t do the job.

    It doesn’t matter how rich you are losing a child via miscarriage or in some other manner is tortuous.

    BTW..her first child was born in LOXAHATCHEE, not Wellington. Palms West isn’t in Wellington. Get the story straight!

    Oh Please! Her husband gave sperm years ago and eggs were fertilised. They have been frozen. Kudos to them both that they are trying again! Best Wishes!!

    Who cares???? There are much more important things to worry about!!!

    Here’s a novel idea, how about you don’t be so insensitive and not advise a woman who has miscarried that she could always try adoption. Idiot

    Why is this OUR BUSINESS? Why is this newsworthy? I can’t believe that this makes the news.

    Again……no one’s business but the family involved.

    Who cares about Celine, gossip section or not. There is too much other stuff to worry about happening right now to even care about this! She needs to worry about her carbon footprint she is leaving on Earth, clearly she only cares about herself and HER things. Selfish.

    For all of you that said “Who Cares?” and there are more important things to worry about, then why are you reading this crap anyway…hipocrit!!! Get a life and stop acting like you dont care- you really dont have a life- jealous!!!

    For #7 & #10 Who cares, you ask? You do. You not only clicked on the story, you read it and commented on it.

    What’s with all you angry people? Celine is a person like you and me-would you treat a family member or a
    good friend like that? What are you all so angry at her
    or her husband? Isn’t it sad that you can’t wish this
    woman well and hope that her next try is successful. Well I do if you can’t. I hope for both her and her
    husband that the next pregnancy takes and holds for
    nine months. All of you nasty ones-get over yourselves.
    I wouldn’t wish that on you-why do you come out gleefully for someone else because she’s a celebrity.

    I can still read a story, comment on it & not give a hoot-n-nanny. So what I read it!!! It’s like a one minute read!! And to #11, I have a life, a nice one too. Just b/c I don’t give a flip about Celine and more babies she doesn’t need, doesn’t mean I don’t have a life. Get serious, is that the only thing you can think of? Commenting and sharing my opinions (just like you did) doesn’t mean I don’t have a life. We all have lives, even you. Because you don’t agree with what I said, doesn’t mean I don’t have a life. I can also place a pretty good bet, my life is much more enjoyable than yours, but who really cares, right? I don’t!!! Good luck to you and come up with something more original next time.

    FOR ALL YOU “KNOW IT ALL’S ”
    F Y I———— Renee was diagmosed w/Cancer & was told that the treatments could most likely leave him “sterile” which was when his sperm was deposited & frozen for the future, thus became Renee-Charles.
    Renee’s AGE has NOTHING to do with “PERFORMANCE” FOR ALL YOU ” JOCKA–ES ”
    CELINE IS A CLASS ACT & SO IS HER HUSBAND & before all you aholes start commenting on “ability” & “performance” you need to check out the FACTS.
    And what makes you think Celine would even consider ANY of YOU freaks, or anyone else for that matter.
