THE DIVA AND THE DUDES: Columbia mega-diva Celine Dion celebrates her Pandora concert at NYC's Edison Ballroom (slated for QVC broadcast on 11/1) by posing in tight formations with people in suits. The performance, which earned breathless plaudits from such media types as Perez Hilton (“Best vocalist of all time!!!! PHENOMENAL!!!”) and Entertainment Weekly ("best thing ever"), showcased material from her upcoming album, Loved Me Back to Life, due out 11/5. In the first pic, Celine bravely fights off slumber as Pandora founder and Chief Strategy Officer Tim Westergren explains the calculation of streaming rates. In the second, she joins a fleet of record peeps for a vigorous round of karaoke, starting with Columbia EVP/GM Joel Klaiman's devastating "My Heart Will Go On." For complete left-to-rights, roll over each picture. (10/30p)
