Celine Dion has been awarded damages after a French magazine was found guilty of violating her privacy.
The court in Toulouse ordered French celebrity magazine Ici Paris
to pay 8000 euros ($10,200) in damages, and 2000 euros in court fees,
after it wrote in September 2010 that the Canadian star had been rushed
to hospital when pregnant and doctors feared for the twins she was
expecting.
The five-time Grammy winner denied the report and the
next month delivered by C-section fraternal twin boys, Nelson and Eddy,
in Florida. The suit had been seeking 100,000 euros in damages and
interest for Dion and the same amount for her husband-manager Rene
Angelil.
"The main thing is that there was a conviction, it is a matter of principle," Dion's lawyer Jacques Levy said."She talks about her private life, certainly, but it is up to her to decide who she deals with."
