A Bit Of Céline At This Year's Oscars!

(8:51 a.m. GMT) Uno dei più grandi segreti nella corsa alla cerimonia di ogni anno è il contenuto delle agognate "goody bags" (confezioni regalo) degli Oscar. Tali confezioni sono regalate alle celebrità che donano le statuette ai vincitori in luogo del loro pagamento. Il bottino di quest'anno sale ad un incredibile ammontare di 30mila sterline. Molti degli articoli sono forniti dal Caesar's Palace di Las Vegas. Ogni confezione regalo include anche quattro biglietti per il concerto di Céline al Colosseum... una pioggia di stelle di Hollywood sta per piovere sul Colosseum.

(8:51 a.m. GMT) One of the best-kept secrets in the run-up to the ceremony is the contents of the Oscars' coveted goody bags. They are given instead of payment to the celebrities who present the statuettes to the winners. This year's haul adds up to an incredible £30,000 worth of goodies. Many of the items are being supplied by Las Vegas casino Caesar's Palace. Each goody bag also includes four tickets to Céline's concert at the Colosseum... tons of Hollywood stars are going to visiting the Colosseum.

In a statement, Céline said that she and her husband, René Angelil, "have fallen in love with this wonderful organization and the brave individuals it serves. Opportunity Village has been working so hard ... helping thousands of adults with disabilities and their families. They deserve international exposure, and I am honored to be able to help them deliver their message on behalf of people with profound disabilities."

"We have waited 50 years for something like this to happen to us," Linda Smith said (the chief development officer of Opportunity Village). "Lots of Las Vegas entertainers have been extraordinarily generous to us, but this is special... If every ticket is sold, the donation could end up topping $1 million."

René Talks About His Past, Present And Future

Indicatif present

(5:30 p.m. GMT) During a radio-interview broadcasted this afternoon (on this morning in the U.S.A. - Canada) on Radio-Canada, René, Céline's manager/husband, talked about his past, present and future.

He described himself in 3 words generous, audacious and pig-headed. He said that people see Céline and René, or René and Céline but there's a separate Céline and a separate René. René talked about his career with 'Les Baronnets' group, he said he doesn't miss it even though he still has great memories

The job of manager bring to him PLEASURE. "In any job, if it doesn't bring your pleasure, then you're not doing the right job". He likes his job because it's a challenge, it's his passion. His idol is Brian Epstein, manager of The Beatles.

Just before he met Céline, he was studying to become a lawyer. In an old interview, he said not to mix love and business. Before he met Céline, he said he would never manage a woman again because they are too easily led by love but took a chance with Céline because she was only a girl (not yet a woman).

In the beginning, both him and Céline had a mutual goal: success. Now their mutual goal is René-Charles and the family life. They live a simple life. They don't go out (don't participate in parties like other celebrities). Even though they live in the United States, they are still Quebecers. They watch Quebec TV and news on satellite.

His biggest strategy was at the time of Incognito, when he learned that there was a Sony convention in the city of Quebec, he convinced Sony that Céline would sing even though nobody else was singing. She sang 'Where Does My Heart Beat Now', and a week later, she had a contract for the internationa launch of Unison.

He gets his "gambler" side from his family, especially his grandmother. He used to watch his family play cards all the time when he was little.

When the media say bad things of Céline or make fun of her, it affects him deeply, but fortunately, Céline doesn't know of these things. Host said he was lucky to have defeated cancer. He said he hasn't defeated cancer and never will. Cancer cannot be defeated. But that he is lucky to be healthy at the moment.

René said that Céline's career can't go any higher; they are at the summit. Their priority now is René-Charles and their family life. When they are at home, there is no music, no trophies or awards hanigng on the wall and not talking about show business. They are a happy family like any other family.

The Best Article So Far About Céline's Performance At Grammys

(8:24 a.m. GMT) From Launch (Yahoo!):

It should be noted that the "Trooper of the Evening Grammy"--if there was such a thing--should have gone to Céline Dion, who soldiered through her tribute to Vandross, despite a broken microphone and an ear monitor that was clearly not working. That she managed to sing her tribute flawlessly, despite the enormous technical difficulties, earned her the respect even of those who've consistently criticized her style.

Backstage, Marx spoke about why Céline Dion was able to relate to Vandross's "Dance With My Father." "Well, you know, first of all, Celine's one of the greatest singers we have," Marx said. "Nobody can sing it like Luther, it's Luther's song, it just embodies Luther. But Celine also can really, it resonates with her because her father just passed away recently."

Marx accompanied Céline Dion on piano for their special performance of "Dance With My Father," and backstage, Marx spoke about playing through some obvious technical glitches. "Hey, I'm just glad I didn't screw up the notes, you know," Marx said. "I was okay, Celine was amazing. It totally fazed her, she was a basket case after the song until I said, 'I promise you, you were awesome.' She just, she couldn't hear a thing. I mean, she's such a pro, it's amazing."

"I'm Sorry Folks... But I Went To Grammy Awards!"

(11:45 a.m. GMT) Céline mantiene i suoi impegni. Ieri sera, il comico dell'hotel Flamingo di Las Vegas: George Wallace ha intrattenuto il pubblico del Colosseum nel frattempo che Céline tornasse da Los Angeles. Céline è salita sul palco del Colosseum del Caesars Palace con circa 35 minuti di ritardo dopo aver preso parte in un tributo musicale al cantante americano Luther Vandross. Mentre cantava "Dance With My Father," sui videoschermi c'era un video che ha mostrato fra l'altro anche delle immagini di Céline con suo padre Adhemar, il quale è morto a Novembre. Anche il pubblico del Colosseum ha potuto vedere la performance di Céline ai Grammy Awards, in quanto René aveva ottenuto un permesso speciale dalla CBS.

Tears welled up while she sang Vandross' song, "Dance With My Father," and a video flashed scenes of Céline with her father, Adhemar, who died in November.

Hey Bahamas...Céline is arriving!!!

(11:37 a.m. GMT) Céline ha bisogno di una vacanza e un'imminente interruzione di tre settimane, a partire da questa Domenica, potrebbe essere ciò di cui ha bisogno. Venerdì scorso ha avuto due attacchi di panico durante il suo show al Caesars Palace. "Ha avuto uno spasmo del sistema respiratorio. Non riusciva a respirare e si è allarmata un paio di volte" - ha detto René.

Prima del suo show di Venerdì, Céline è volata a Los Angeles per fare una sorpresa ad Oprah Winfrey alla festa dei suoi 50 anni. Al ritorno, Céline ha cancellato lo spettacolo dopo 40 minuti dal suo inizio e ha annullato gli show del week-end scorso, ieri e di questa sera.

Questa Domenica, dopo essersi esibita in un tributo al cantante Luther Vandross alla cerimonia dei Grammy Awards, la stella internazionale si dirigerà alle Bahamas per una vacanza programmata.

(11:37 a.m. GMT) Céline needs a vacation. An upcoming three-week hiatus, starting this coming Sunday, might be what she needs. It turns out she had two panic attacks Friday during her show at Caesars Palace. "She had a spasm of her respiratory system. She couldn't breathe and she panicked a couple times," said René.

Earlier Friday, she had flown to surprise Oprah Winfrey at her 50th birthday party in Los Angeles (Don't forget to take a look to tomorrow's Oprah show too see what happened!!).

Upon returning, Céline canceled the show 40 minutes into the performance and canceled shows Wednesday and tonight as well. "She hasn't had a chance to recoup since her father's death" in November, René said.

After performing a tribute to Luther Vandross at the Grammys on Sunday, the international singing star is heading for the Bahamas for a scheduled vacation.

A New Fragrance - Celine Dion Parfum Notes

(7:21 a.m. GMT) Following the success of Celine Dion Parfums, Coty Beauty and the world's best-selling female recording artist, Celine Dion, are pleased to announce the introduction of Celine Dion Parfum Notes, an inspiring new line extension set to launch on April 1, 2004.

"Parfum Notes is a romantic variation of Celine's first fragrance, Celine Dion Parfums, and the perfect complement to build on its success," says Eric Thoreux, President, Coty Beauty, Americas. Parfum Notes presents a rich, new interpretation of her original fragrance, that celebrates Celine's love and understanding of both music and fragrance notes."

Celine Dion Parfum Notes is a deep, romantic floral fragrance. The top notes have a sensuous crispness, which highlight the floral heart of Amazon orchid, mimosa, heliotrope and peony. The bottom notes of rich white musk, natural vetiver, and sandalwood oil add warmth and sensuality. This floral harmony is the perfect accompaniment to the original scent. "Since I was a child, I've used music notes to reach people. Now I have discovered that fragrance notes are another way for me to express myself. The composition of notes in both fragrance and music evoke deep emotions that speak directly to the heart," says Celine.

In creating the fragrance, Celine was moved by her desire to bond closely with her fans. "It is truly a special feeling to be able to share the notes of both scent and music with my fans," says Celine.

Celine Dion Parfum Notes will be available in department stores across North America in April. The eau de toilette will be offered in 1 oz and 1.7 oz sizes.

Céline Cancels 3 Shows Again!!!! ;-(

(11:37 a.m. GMT) Un'infezione alle vie respiratorie hanno provocato la cancellazione degli show di Céline di Venerdì, Sabato e Domenica (oggi). Era da 40 minuti sul palco del Colosseum quando ha avuto problemi respiratori, ha detto ieri René, il marito di Céline. Tutti i biglietti saranno rimborsati.

Céline non ha mancato uno spettacolo in 14 anni fino allo scorso Ottobre, quando fu costretta ad annullare uno show per colpa dell'influenza. Céline non ritornerà sul palco del Colosseum fino a Mercoledì 4 Febbraio, su consiglio medico, ha detto René. "Sta combattendo contro questa infezione sin dalla morte del padre avvenuta a fine Novembre, non è un male dovuto al clima di Las Vegas. Le sue corde vocali stanno bene"

(11:37 a.m. GMT) A sinus infection was blamed for canceling Céline's Friday, Saturday and Sunday shows. She was 40 minutes into her show Friday when she had problems breathing, Céline's husband/manager René Angelil said Saturday. All tickets will be refunded.

Céline had not missed a show in 14 years until late October, when she was stricken with the flu. She won't return to The Colosseum stage until Wednesday, February 4, on doctor's orders, René said. "She's been fighting this since father died in November", he said. "It's not Vegas throat. Her vocal chords are fine."
