“Subject: Céline Dion vs. Yourself”
Well, this is some bullshit. This blog always added a chuckle to my day. ridiculouspicturesofcelinedion: hey y’all céline dion found our blog, and she didn’t like it. we just got a letter from céline’s lawyers that the blog has to be shut down. though this blog is well within the realm of ‘fair use’, i don’t have the money or time to get a lawyer to respond. the dream is over. thanks...
