Celine Dion explains her thinner frame: 'I'm working hard'

Celine Dion is doing just fine, thank you very much.

The singer made waves at Paris Couture Fashion Week back in January, where she stepped out numerous times, as fans noticed that she was noticeably slimmer all of a sudden. That month she shut down critics of her weight by telling The Sun, "If I like it, I don't want to talk about it."

"Don't bother. Don't take a picture," she added at the time. "If you like it, I'll be there. If you don't, leave me alone."

She also defended her recent fashion risks, saying, "I'm doing this for me. I want to feel strong, beautiful, feminine and sexy."

This month, the newly-minted L'Oréal Paris ambassador, gave a little more context around the reasoning for her slim-down, crediting her BFF backup dancer Pepe Muñoz for getting her into dancing.

"He's a dancer, but he's got many, many more talents," Dion explained to People. "Dancing has been in my DNA all my life. I do this four times a week. People say, 'She's a lot thinner,' but I'm workin hard. I like to move, and [weight loss] comes with it."

Dion also announced this week that she's going on a North American tour this fall, her first in over a decade. She'll also be releasing an album, expected to be released in November.
