Celine makes guest appearance on this Sunday's Princes of Malibu
(7:50 p.m. GMT) Canada's own Las Vegas diva, Celine Dion, does a guest shot playing herself on THIS COMING Sunday's episode of the new reality show The Princes of Malibu.
In the supposedly unscripted show, composer/producer David Foster is dealing with his two spoiled adult stepsons, Brandon and Brody, who have
moved back into his luxurious Hollywood compound. He's getting fed up with their expensive partying and is threatening to kick them out.
On Sunday's instalment, airing on the Canadian Global TV (it will be broadcasted on FOX on July 31, 2005!) , the boys use Foster's name to secure a suite at
Caesar's Palace in Vegas. The hotel notifies Céline Dion that Foster is staying at the hotel (she and Foster shared a 1996 Grammy for album of the year).
But when she stops by for a visit, she finds only the boys. When a furious Foster finds out, he plans to make Brandon and Brody pay the hotel bill.
Best Headliner in Las Vegas!

awards, including 62 first-place finishes. Celine Dion, star of "A New Day" at Caesars Palace, was named Best Headliner in Las Vegas!!

Exclusive: Céline's new song : 'Je Ne Vous Oublie Pas'
(2:22 p.m GMT) We now know that Céline's forthcoming Greatest Hits album will be entitled 'On Ne Change Pas' and
that the first single will be called 'Je Ne Vous Oublie Pas' ('I Don't forget You').
Here are the lyrics in french:
Dans mes absences, parfois, sans doute
J’aurais pu m’éloigner
Comme si j’avais perdu ma route
Comme si j’avais changé
Alors j’ai quelques mots tendresse
Juste pour le dire
Je ne vous oublie pas, non, jamais
Vous êtes au creux de moi
Dans ma vie, dans tout ce que je fait
Mes premiers amours
Mes premiers rêves sont venus avec vous
C'est notre histoire à nous
Je ne vous oublie pas, non, jamais
Vous savez tant de moi
De ma vie, de tout ce que j'en fait
Alors mes bonheurs, mes déchirures se partagent avec vous
C’est notre histoire à nous
Je ne vous oublie pas
Parce que le temps peut mettre en cage
Nos rêves et nos envies
Je fais mes choix et mes voyages
Parfois j'en paye le prix
La vie me sourie ou me blesse
Quelle que soit ma vie
Je ne vous oublie pas, non, jamais
Vous êtes au creux de moi
Dans ma vie dans tout ce que je fait
Mes premiers amours
Mes premiers rêves sont venus avec vous
C'est notre histoire à nous
Je ne vous oublie pas
Même à l'autre bout de la terre
Je continue mon histoire avec vous
chœurs : Je ne vous oublie pas
Non, Jamais
Vous êtes au creux de moi
De ma vie de tout ce que je fais
Mes premiers amours
Mes premiers rêves sont venus avec vous
C'est notre histoire à nous
Je ne vous oublie pas
Non jamais
Vous savez tant de moi
De ma vie de tout ce que j'en fait
Alors mes bonheurs, mes déchirures se partagent avec vous
C'est notre histoire à nous
Je ne vous oublie pas
Je ne vous oublie pas
And the translation in English:
In my absences, sometimes, undoubtedly,
I could have gone away
As if I had lost my way
As if I had changed
So I have some tender words,
Just to say it
I don’t forget you, no, never,
You are in me
In my life, in everything I do
My first loves
My first dreams came with you
That is our story
I don’t forget you, no, never,
You know so much about me
About my life and what I do with it
So my happiness, my tears are shared with you
That is our story
I don’t forget you
Because time can imprisoned
Our dreams and our wills
I make my choices and my trips
Sometimes I pay the price of it
Life smiles to me or hurts me
Whatever my life is
I don’t forget you, no, never,
You are in me
In my life, in everything I do
My first loves
My first dreams came with you
That is our story
I don’t forget you
Even at the other side of the Earth
I continue my story with you
choirs : I don’t forget you
No, never,
You are in me
About my life and what I do with it
My first loves
My first dreams came with you
That is our story
I don’t forget you
No, never,
You know so much about me
About my life and what I do with it
So my happiness, my tears are shared with you
That is our story
I don’t forget you
I don’t forget you...
