16. there is two sides to this story,maybe she wanted something that could not be done for whatever reason and he gave her a
option,who's the architect him or her.

17. He probably didn't want to build it to her specs because the woman has no taste, and it was probably as ugly as that horrific thing she wore as a veil at her wedding. She looked like Cher in the 80's.

18. These f-ing no-talent, narcissistic self-absorbed hacks we call "celebrities." Celine Dion has no sense of reality. Millions of Americans can barely afford their homes right now. No sympathy will come from us, that's for damn sure!

20. As a former architecture student, I have to say good for Randall Stofft to refuse to build what Celine was asking for. People who hire architects to design homes for them obviously don't know what works and what doesn't. (Otherwise, why would they need to hire an architect?) Most of the time they really have no clue as to what they are wanting. Architects know what designs will and absolutely will not work, and I'm glad to see that an architect had enough of a brain to stand by his design and refuse to change it for such a stuck-up bitch such as Celine Dion.

21. RICH people are whine babies . They're hard to deal with .

ALL architects in USA should prepare each other from

Rich people , Celine's PEOPLE should of done there

homework better or else they wouldn't be going through this .

Rich ( celebs ) people are unhappy people . They're NEVER happy .

22. Leta get this straight, she hires an award-winning architect to design a house; he designs the house.
She wants an octogonal living room, randall refuses to change design.
He tries to convince Celine, but she fires him and hires another architect that will deal with her an design an octogonal living room. Celine then refuses to pay for the work that Mr. Stofft has done to date, and Stofft then sues for the balance owed by Dion.

And now SHE'S suing HIM?!?!

Only In America! :/

23. Lordy, can I relate! My husband and I are FAR from rich, but after saving and scrimping for years we hired an arhictect to help us build our "Dream House" (and I checked him out before hand.) While technically great, he's been an absolute ass about any features HE doesn't find necessary or aesthetically pleasing. And for all you people saying the acoustics would suck? It's a LIVING ROOM, for God's sake! Who said she planned on singing there???

If you hire someone to create YOUR dreams, they should provide the service to YOUR specifications. Sue his ass good, Celine!!!!!

24. Why do people say Celine is a bitch?? She's the least bitchy of all the divas out there. And she's had many houses built before and she's got great taste when it comes to building a house. Why does everyone blame Celine??? Come on. Yes, she's got money. But she's not sueing that architect to make money, It's the principle. If she paid this guy to build what she wanted, I'm sure he didn't say no at the very beginning. He said yes and had no problem cashing the $500,000 cheque from her. But now he doesn't want to follow through. It's nice to have lots of money but people do take advantage of rich people. Celine isn't at all the way the American media tries to portray her. And no she doesn't sue all the people who work for her. Ask the dancers and all the producers who have worked with her and you'll find out that she's one of the best person to work with out there and she's VERY generous with them!! People are so quick to trash her but know NOTHING about her. She's one of the sweetest people there is but for some reason some medias like you just try to give her a bad reputation... You want to know who the real bitch is? Try Madonna or Whoriah...

25. I think Celine Dion should get whatever she wants, she nearly owns the world, behind Oprah. Plus Celine Dion is not a stupid person she would not ask for that amount if it was not far a reason. Love Celine, she rules.
