Celine Dion invokes Rihanna when asked about her love life

Celine Dion answers a question about her love life by singing Rihanna

Celine Dion's handbag collection launch in Montreal on Wednesday, Aug. 23, turned into a candid, music-heavy opportunity for the singer to share how she's doing, what she's focusing on in the wake of her husband Renee Angelil's death -- and whether she's dating yet. "I'm enjoying myself," she said at one point. "I ... went through a lot." Implying she didn't want to "give details" about the deaths of Renee and her brother within a span of days, she went on to say, "I think sometimes when you go through a lot ... there is a force that takes over when you believe." She continued: "I have projects, I have visions, I have focus, I want to create and I think at this time of my life ... it feels that I can spread my wings." By the end of her response, she was singing "The Best is Yet to Come." And as E! News reports, the best really was yet to come. When someone asked about her dating life later, Celine struck pose, arms in the air. She was quiet for a moment. And then she sang a vow to "shine bright like a diamond," from Rihanna's "Diamonds" ... as one does at a handbag collection launch when one is Celine Dion.

Celine Dion said her last goodbye and put her husband, Rene Angelil, to rest on Jan. 22.
Thousands of family, friends and fans gathered at Montreal's Notre-Dame Basilica, the same church where the couple got married in 1994, to bid Rene adieu -- which was also livestreamed.
Rene passed away on Jan. 14 after a long battle with cancer.
Clad in all-black, including a black veil, Celine was joined by her three sons, Rene-Charles, 14, and 5-year-old twins Nelson and Eddy, as she listened to the two-hour service from the front row of the church.
She was seen shaking a priest's hand toward the end.
Prior to the funeral, the family entered the church with a solemn Celine holding her two youngest children's hands. Rene-Charles held onto the arm of Celine's widowed mother.
Inside, Rene's black casket rested on a carrier next to Celine and her family. The songstress placed flowers on top of casket. Rene-Charles placed a pillow on the casket.
After the service began, Rene-Charles spoke briefly to the thousands of mourners.
"Dad, I promise you here that we are all going to live up to your standards," he said before leaving the altar and embracing his mother who held onto lilies.
Attendees also listened to Rene's grown son Patrick, who spoke in French.
The touching service ended a bit like a concert, with thunderous applause for Celine and her family, as they escorted Rene's casket down the long aisle of the church. Celine's music played overhead.
Fans lined up for hours to watch the arrivals, braving below-freezing temperatures. The street where the church is located was blocked off to regular traffic.
According to People magazine, every seat inside was topped with a mini-pack of tissues and a program written primarily in French. It reads in part: "According to his wishes, all of Celine's songs were chosen by Rene. Those include: 'Trois Heures 20,' 'L'Amour Existe Encore' and 'All the Way.'"
The back of the program featured a throwback photo of Celine and her husband.
In honor of Rene, Canadian flags are flying at half-mast on all government buildings, a rare honor, especially for someone not in politics or the military. Rene received an official state funeral.
At an open-casket wake for Rene on Jan. 21, which attracted thousands, Celine told People, "The support we've received has been such a blessing."

It’s hard to believe that Celine Dion, who was once built a state-of-the-art theater and paid $100 million plus 50 percent of profits to perform at Caesers Palace for a year, originally had to beg her parents to play their piano bar. At 12, the youngest of 14 recorded her first song, "It Was Only a Dream", which her brother sent to local producer René Angélil. He mortgaged his house to fund her 1981 debut La Voix du Bon Dieu. After 8 French albums, a win at the coveted 1988 Eurovision Song Contest fast-tracked her English record deal. Around that time, the much-older Angélil, became more than a manager although the relationship stayed secret until 1993 when she professed her love in liner notes. They married in December of that year. She won an Oscar and a Grammy for the 1992 theme to “Beauty and The Beast” and her 1996 CD Falling Into You, which contained “Because You Love Me”, earned 2 more Grammys. She was back at the ceremony a year later with the No. 1 “Titanic” ballad “My Heart Will Go On", which also nabbed the Oscar and contributed to her estimated $200 million fortune. Dion successfully underwent grueling fertility treatments, which resulted in son René-Charles in 2001 and fraternal twins Eddy and Nelson in 2010. After penning her memoir, “My Story, My Dream”, she returned to music with 2002’s triple-platinum “Brand New Day” and the aforementioned 2003 Vegas spectacular, which played five nights a week for five years. She returned to the Strip in 2011 with “Céline".
