Celine Dion, Tiger Woods Water Hogs
PALM BEACH, Fla. -- Celine Dion is a water hog.

The Palm Beach Post did a study of local water usage and found Celine Dion's 5.7 acres in Jupiter, Florida, used about 6.5 million gallons of water in a year.

That's more than 250 times the amount of water the average resident uses, or equivalent to filling a 50-gallon bathtub every four minutes.

A 9,800-square-foot home is under construction at the site. Representatives for Dion did not respond to requests for comment.

Tiger Woods was second on newspaper's list, using about 3.7 million gallons of water in a year. A spokesman for Woods' charitable foundation says much of that went to new landscaping.

4. I've no doubt she sits in the showers for days at a time....
...trying to wash away some stench she can't... quite... figure out. And I guess Tiger likes his clubs really, REALLY clean. Shame on both of 'em. Endless money doesn't give one license to deplete limited resources.
