New Research Initiative Takes Aim at Cystic Fibrosis

(7:50 p.m. GMT) The Board of Directors of the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF) announced today the launch of a new $6-million research program called Breathe (Basic Research and Therapy). This ambitious research initiative will fund two teams of scientific and clinical investigators, chosen through a Canada-wide competition, over a five-year period. Both teams will target CF at the cellular level, through protein therapy.

The CCFF's Celebrity Patron, Céline Dion, and her husband René Angélil were pleased to kick-off the campaign with its first gift. To date, they have contributed $750,000. The couple continually support the CF cause in memory of Céline's niece, Karine, who died from Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 16.

Family on the mend

(1:35 p.m. GMT) Stephanie Richardson's family is on cloud nine after being featured on Fox's "Renovate My Family." Richardson, 17, died of cancer in March 2003 before she was able to meet her idol, Celine Dion, who talked to the Eldorado High School student by speakerphone during the final hours. In October, a co-worker of Stephanie's father, Jim, nominated the Richardsons for the FOX's "Renovate My Family."

A Fox crew showed up in December to chronicle the Richardson family's life after Stephanie. "We were treated like royalty for two weeks," said Jim Richardson, including a trip to Dion's Caesars Palace show, "A New Day." "We were whisked away for 12 days, and when we returned we had a new home and the start of a new life," he said. In addition to receiving grief and psychological counseling, the family received a welcome-home video from Celine Dion when they moved into their made-over home. A late February air date is anticipated.

"A New Day..." Review

(11:10 a.m. GMT) Nella sezione "A New Day...your Reviews", potrete leggere una nuova recensione dello show "A New Day..." scritta da Stacy. Stacy ha assistito con la sua amica Monica allo spettacolo del 16 Gennaio! Come potrete leggere da voi stessi, "In Some Small Way" non è più la canzone che chiude lo spettacolo di Céline. La canzone tratta da 'Miracle' è stata ripiazzata di nuovo da 'What A Wonderful World'! Correte a leggere la recensione!!

(11:10 a.m. GMT) On the "A New Day...your Reviews" section, you'll be able to read a new review of "A New Day..." written by Stacy. Stacy and her friend Monica attended January 16th show. As you'll read by yourself, "In Some Small Way" is NOmore the song that ends Céline's Vegas show. The song taken from 'Miracle' has been replaced again by 'What A Wonderful World'! Rush to read the review!!

[Thanks Stacy]

The Greatest Gainer award !

(3:30 p.m. GMT) Le repliche dello show di Oprah Winfrey creano dei lanci in classifica, specialmente a Gennaio quando le vendite sono basse. Testimone di tutto ciò è Celine Dion, il cui "Miracle" salta dalla 90esima alla #36esima posizione nell'americana Billboard 200 di questa settimana, ottenendo il Greatest Gainer award (il disco che ha guadagnato più posizioni nella classifica). Con un incremento dell'83% delle vendite e con 22mila copie vendute, "Miracle" sorpassa tutti gli incrementi nelle vendite nella Billboard 200. Una replica dell'apparizione televisiva di Céline all' "Oprah Winfrey Show" ha aiutato enormemente il progetto nato dalla collaborazione con la fotografa Anne Geddes, il quale ha debuttato alla quarta posizione della Billboard 200 lo scorso Ottobre.

(3:30 p.m. GMT) Oprah Winfrey's reruns create chart spikes, especially in January when sales are soft. Witness Celine Dion, whose "Miracle" jumps from #90 to #36 on this week's Billboard 200, getting the big chart's Greatest Gainer award. With an 83% spike to 22,000 copies, Celine Dion's "Miracle" (Epic) far surpasses the sales gain of any other act on The Billboard 200. A rerun of the Canadian songstress' appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" fueled the charge for the photo/lullaby collaboration with Anne Geddes, which originally bowed at No. 4 in October 2004.

Sorry! There was a misunderstanding!

(10:28 p.m. GMT) This afternoon we announced that tonight's TV Telethon Canada For Asia, organized by the Canadian TV Network CBC to support the victims of the Asian Tsunami, would have shown the same Céline performance of 'In Some Small Way' aired during the CNN TV Special for the New Year's Eve.

We're very sorry but there was a misunderstanding! Our source said: "It's a taped performance and it will be 'In Some Small Way' - same as CNN". Well, we thought that that "same as CNN" meant "the same performance broadcasted during the CNN TV Special for the New Year's Eve". So tonight's TV Telethon will broadcast a NEW but pre-recorded performance of 'In Some Small Way'. Sorry for this inconvenience!

In the meantime, 'In Some Small Way' replaced the song "What A Wonderful World" usually performed by Céline at the end of her Vegas show. Our source said: "It hasn't permanently replaced it... we are figuring out if 'In Some Small Way' will stay in the show or not."

Celine To Give $1,000,000.00 To Tsunami Relief

Celine has announced that she will be dedicating a special Mother's Day performance of her Las Vegas show A New Day..., donating all of the proceeds to support the victims of the Asian Tsunami. The show will take place on Sunday, May 8th at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas.

Celine expects to raise a minimum of $1,000,000.00 and make a donation to UNICEF to help the families who have suffered as a result of the tragedy. "Like everyone else in the world, I've been devastated by the loss and suffering of so many in South Asia," said Celine. "As a mother, I cannot imagine the pain that they are experiencing. We can all see that it's going to take a long time for those people to re-build their lives, and they will need our help for years to come. I chose Mother's Day for this event, because of the special meaning it has for families, but also because it will help maintain the awareness of everyone's needs in South Asia, over the coming months."

In addition to the Mother's Day show, special UNICEF pledge boxes will be set up throughout the Colosseum immediately, so that patrons coming to the show from January to May, will be able to donate to the cause. Details on tickets for this special concert will be announced in the next few days. To make a donation, for Tsunami relief please go to www.unicef.org

'In Some Small Way' à Las Vegas?

(10:37 a.m. GMT) Come avete notato tutti, Céline ha cantato "In Some Small Way" e non "I'm Alive" durante il collegamento satellitare con la CNN in diretta dal Colosseum del Caesar Palace a Las Vegas... ecco perchè abbiamo chiesto alla nostra fonte esclusiva la ragione di questa scelta e se questa nuova canzone tratta da 'Miracle' da ora in avanti sarà parte di 'A New Day...'. Ecco la sua risposta: "Sentivamo che In Some Small Way fosse più idonea per la fine dell'anno e per i tempi della diretta. Siamo tutti contentissimi del risultato! Ancora non sappiamo se la canzone farà parte dello show permanentemente. Mercoledì, 5 Gennaio non ci sarà alcuno show." P.S. Sempre durante lo special di fine anno andato in onda sulla CNN, hanno mostrato anche uno spezzone in cui Céline stava cantando "My Heart Will Go On"... pubblicheremo questo video nel pomeriggio o in tarda serata!

(10:37 a.m. GMT) As you all noticed, Céline performed "In Some Small Way" and not "I'm Alive" during the LIVE satellite feed from The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace in Las Vegas on CNN... that's why we asked to our exclusive source the reason of this choice and if this new song taken from 'Miracle' will be part of 'A New Day...' from now and on. Here's the reply: "We just felt that In Some Small Way was a better fit for the year end and it worked better with timing for the shoot. We were all very happy with the way it turned out! We still don't know if the song will go in the show permanently. There is NO show on Wednesday, January 5th." P.S. Always during the CNN special for the New Year's Eve, they also showed a fragment during which Céline was performing "My Heart Will Go On"... we'll post this video in the afternoon or later in the evening!

Reminder: A New Block Of Tickets On Sale!

Un nuovo blocco di biglietti per lo spettacolare show di Céline: 'A New Day...', saranno messi in vendita al pubblico OGGI, 2 Gennaio alle 10 a.m. PT (alle ore 19 in Italia). I biglietti per le performance dal 13 Aprile al 1 Maggio 2005 saranno disponibili su Ticketmaster.com e al botteghino del Colosseum.

A new block of tickets for Céline's spectacular show 'A New Day...' will be going on sale to the general public TODAY, January 1 at 10:00 a.m. PT (1:00 p.m. ET). Tickets for performances from April 13 to May 1st 2005 will be available on Ticketmaster.com, as well as at the Box Office at The Colosseum.
