I don't know why everyone is all up in arms over the news that Celine Dion uses 6.5 million gallons of water a year at the house pictured above. It's 6.5 acres, though. That's only a million gallons an acre!

To be honest, we're lucky that she doesn't water her lawn with blood diamonds and the souls of Siberian children. I hear that's the secret combo to keep the weeds at bay, and she's diva enough to try it.

All joking aside, sure, she uses a lot of water (enough to fill a 50 gallon bathtub every four seconds, in fact). But you know what? She pays for it. It's not like she's stealing it from a neighbor's pool or something.

I'm sure we all waste a little water every now and then. For example, I bet some of you probably leave the faucet on when you brush your teeth. As for me, I like to leave the shower water running for a while before I get in. Sure, it's to keep from getting sprayed with an icy blast when I first turn it on, but it's the same thing, right? Yup, me and Celine are like two peas in an over-watered pod.

We found Celine Dion arriving at her NYC hotel yesterday. The 39-year-old is currently promoting her new CD Taking Chances, her first album in four years.

Celine says the album, released this week, brings out her inner rocker. “It’s edgier,” she said. “I always loved that type of music. I grew up listening to Creedence, Doobie Brothers, Janis Joplin, but the composers and songwriters never proposed to me to sing that type of music.”

It's also reported that she wants to have another child and says “We’re going to be working on it.”
