Kylie and Dustin Neighbours in Adlon Berlin

Patricia| 2008-06-24 12.06 am

Kylie Minogue Kylie Minogue and Dustin Hoffman were for short time neighbours in the Hotel Adlon, Berlin. Kylie spent an extra night in the hotel, as following her concert in the Velodrom a massive thunderstorm rolled over Berlin preventing her flying out. Dustin was here, with his family for the premiere of the film Kung Fu Panda.

At around 11 am, after breakfasting, Dustin Hoffman left the hotel in trainers, summer shirt and sunglasses and went largely unnoticed by the waiting Kylie fans. After visiting the Holocaust memorial, he returned to the hotel, where he posed for fans at a window. Always one for a laugh, he disappeared only to re-emerge at the window with a camera, with which he proceeded to photograph the fans with.

Dustin HoffmanOfficially Kylie Minogue was to leave the hotel by way of the underground car park, but she chose to leave by the main entrance. There she posed with fans for photos and signed autographs. Then to the airport for her flight to Rotterdam, Holland for her concert in the evening.

Dustin Hoffman didn’t have so far to go, just round the corner to then cinema in Potsdamer Platz, for the premiere that evening, so he used the afternoon to go shopping with his wife and daughter in the Friedrichstrasse.

Celine Dion favours Berlin

Patricia| 2008-06-15 9.15 pm

Celine DionThe pop diva, Celine Dion has favoured Berlin as her temporary home for the German leg of her World Tour. This means she flies in the afternoon to the city where her concert takes place and after the concert returns to Berlin. The Canadian star had previously her own show in César’s Palace Hotel, Las Vegas, where during a three year stint she performed to an audience totalling more than 3 million. So, after 723 sold out performances, she wanted to prove herself on the road again, with over 100 shows in 25 countries.

As Celine didn’t want to be apart from her family during her tour and to avoid them having to change hotels every couple of days, she decided while in Germany to stay in the hotel, The Regent, am Gendarmenmarkt. Her husband, René Angélil, their 7 year old son, René Charles, her mother Thérèze (who is 81) and one of her sisters are all present in Berlin.

In between concerts she has taken the time to show her family Berlin and whilst his parents are away to concerts René Charles practices golf with his Aunt and a bodyguard. Celine also brought her mother along to the Berlin concert.

Celine is maybe a pop diva, but doesn’t behave like one with her fans. Nearly everyday she emerges from the hotel entrance and signs autographs. Even before and after a concert, presumably exhausted, she doesn’t disappear like most of her contemporaries in the underground car park, but spends a few minutes with the fans at the main entrance.
