I don't know if you heard the recent brouhaha over Celine Dion, but some news folks aren't too happy with her? Why, you ask? Because — horror of horrors — our Quebecoise homegirl has leg hair. And it showed up in photographs during her concert. I know, it's inexcusable.
Look, I'm probably never going to be Celine's biggest fan musically, but when a major metropolitan newspaper starts nitpicking her body hair, you can bet I'm on Team Celine. I'm guessing her fans couldn't care less whether she shaves her legs or not; they're just there to experience her overall nuttiness and music. Beyond that, it's 2008 — shouldn't we be beyond tsk-tsking a grown woman for having a little light peach fuzz on her gams?

Whatever floats your boat! In europe some women didn't even shave their armpitts! I do it, shave, but I am not going to harrass someone if they don't. We all have the option to make the choice ourselves
1wow that is messed up! who cares about her leg hair? and I am no Celine fan even though I aswell am a Quebecoise. But i aswell am on team Celine for this one.
2I totally agree, bella!
3that is pretty messed up. but to be honest, that was no peach fuzz on her legs. if it's long enough to stand out on it's own and catch the light, it wouldn't hurt to shave. but i agree, she by no means has to be perfect and I wouldn't have said much more about it than "gee, time to shave your legs girl." it's not news-worthy.
4Ah yes, I saw this on Perez.
5you know what maybe in her busy life she just didn't have time to do it that night.
6I read this and laughed. Who cares, are you rubbing up against her. I swear the things they report.
7Teehee, they look like my dad's scrawny and hairy legs. Hey- isn't this what celebrities are for? To entertain us? Laugh it up, I say.
8I find personal hygiene a priority. I reschedule my next full leg/Brazilian wax every time I get it done. That being said, who the eff cares about Celine's legs. Maybe if it were Paris Hilton. Celine? So irrelevant.
9So stupid.
10I don't shave my upper legs to be smooth as a baby's bottom.
But then again, I don't wear skirts that short.
I don't get the big deal but whatever. It's apparently okay for people to berate pop culture for influencing women to be unrealistic about personal appearances... while criticizing a classic singer for hairy legs.
11Team Celine!
12in the photos, it looks like she doesn't shave past her knee. I know several woman who don't shave past their knee. I personally like to shave all the way up but to each his (or her) own
13It's not newsworthy except for a site like Perez...which is just gossip. But yes, they stuck out straight so maybe she should think about some grooming, it is not for us to say though. It's not peach fuzz after you've removed it once and it decides to grow back wonky. You have to continue to deal with that, then. But it is her personal business.
What I don't understand is what chelly said...why did she relate hygiene with Brazilians and why does it matter more if these were Paris Hilton's legs? I'm confuzzled.
14I agree, after all these hairs aren't even dark! If it weren't for the lighting, you wouldn't even see them!
15Ashcwebb...European women DO shave their armpits
16I know what that is, thats the fuzz you get when you shave your legs but only above the knee because usuallly nobody sees your upper tighs. But seriosuly to condone a woman because she hasn't shaved her legs? What is the world coming to? Like someone said on the nydailynews site, its just hair,"R-Kelly is still out on the streets after ******* on a 14 or15 year old girl lets talk about that!".
17Hair legs is not newsworthy, they probably didn't know what to talk about.
Paris more relevant then Celine? I'm sorry for me actual talent, someone who is famous to sing, who is the female who sold the most records in the he world is more relevant than someone who is famous for being... I don't even know or cares about what she's famous for.
18So tired of people thinking that skank is cool.
Leg hair above the knee can be very very fair- to the point you can barely see it. Mine is, and I don't shave it all off either. I honestly don't see what the big deal is, at all.

this is news! I don't think anyone there complained and why is it a big deal? It is not a
matter of hygiene if you don't shave? I see her as a very confident woman who wouldn't care about such things- she is probably laughing at this nonsense-IMO.
20WTH? It's just leg hair, and leg hair above the knee at that! Okay, maybe it would look nicer if she shaved or w/e, but seriously... it's NOT that big a deal. People have too much time on their hands.
21w.t.f. what kind of people spend their time worrying about this?
22My female relatives from Germany were always on my case for shaving my legs and underarms.They would say"it will grow back as long and thick as a man's beard!!" That has not happened but they still keep saying it !
23its just hair! Its natural! ppl are soo fricken weird. I for one do not shave my legs in the winter, my fur keeps me warm
lol plus no one seeing them but me!
24Ha, Martini - I used to be one of those obsessive shavers, no matter what, I would shave all the way above the knee! I have gotten so busy though that in the winter I let it go unless I am going out or expecting um, company.
25April's Playboy centerfold has unshaven legs as well. I thought it was refreshing to see. It's like we women have to shave and pluck and wax every inch of ourselves except the hair on our scalps (which we try to make thicker, natch) to be attractive.
26Good for Celine! She looks absolutely gorgeous, so what if she's a little fuzzy. It certainly doesn't detract from her looks or her stage presence, and I highly doubt any of the audience members were going to feel up her legs. How silly.
27i don't shave past my knee unless i'm going to be wearing something short... if it's blonde hair, who cares!?
28good lord...leave the woman alone... i NEVER shave above my knee, it's just TOO much work!! people need to stop picking these celebrities apart like this...they are JUST humans like the rest of us afterall
29HAW! I pretty much hate Celine but this earns her a big point with me. Go fuzzy!
30I ♥ Celine.
This is stupid. I'm with you Bella.
31My mom told me to never shave past the knee. So when I saw the "controversy" on Perez I thought it might be a generational beauty thing. I used to shave past the knee if I would wear shorts, but honestly this does not bother me at all.
32ha my mom doesn't shave past her knee either! i do but in the winter i shave once every week or two- unless i'm expecting company as someone above put it lol so i'm sure at the end of a week or two my legs look pretty bad but who cares!
33They have absolutely nothing else to dish about, so they're resorting to ridiculing an international singer's leg hairs... pathetic, honestly.
34WTF moment here!
Team Celine. While I would never go out w/ my legs hairy, maybe Celine was too busy that night. Whatever...I'm still on her side.
35Definitely Team Celine.
36So what? Leave Celine alone!
