Salve Celine's Maniacs, sono di nuovo io: Shalimar!

Ieri, ho comprato per voi le fiches (gettoni) da casinò di Céline Dion. Esse provengono dal casinò del Caesars Palace a Las Vegas. Ne esistono cinque con foto differenti di Céline (il suo numero fortunato) e in tre (il mio numero fortunato) tagli differenti: 5, 25 e 100 dollari. Questi sono gettoni che vengono usati sui tavoli da gioco, per esempio, del blackjack e della roulette e non sono in vendita nella boutique di Céline adiacente al Colosseum, ma nel casinò del Caesars Palace. (La prima scansione mostra il lato comune ad ogni gettone, con il logo di A New Day). Sono un'edizione limitata di 10mila esemplari.

Hello Celine Maniacs, it's me again: Shalimar!

I have brought for you yesterday Celine Dion Casino Chips. They come from Caesars Palace Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. There are five different posses of Celine (lucky number 5) and they come in three different denominations (my lucky 3) $5, $25, and $100. These are casino chips that are used on the dealers tables that you can play at ex: blackjack and roulette. You can't buy them at Celine's boutique, I got them from the casino cage. (The first one is the what it looks like on all the chips, all containing the logo of A New Day). They're a limited edition of 10,000 chips.

Enjoy, Shalimar Celine's Maniacs' reporter in Vegas

Celine Dion's Vegas debut reaches world

Persino in tempi di guerra, la prima dei nuovi show di Céline al Caesars Palace è stata coperta, martedì notte, da orde di giornalisti stranieri, inclusi grandi contingenti da Taiwan, Italia e Francia e una folla di scrittori dal nativo Quebec della star. Migliaia di giornalisti e trasmissioni hanno assistito alla conferenza stampa bilingue successiva all'evento. Persino il governatore del Nevada, Kenny C. Guinn, ha affermato: "Abbiamo bisogno di più show come questo!"

Even in wartime, the opening of Celine 's much-hyped new show at Caesars Palace was covered Tuesday night by hordes of foreign journalists, including big contingents from Taiwan, Italy and France and scores of writers from the star's native Quebec. Céline's bilingual post-show press conference also was attended by an audience of several hundred and broadcast all over the world. Even Kenny C. Guinn, the governor of Nevada, said "We need more shows like this!".

About her Voice and her Hair

Secondo questo articolo tratto dal Las Vega Sun, Rene ha affermato che è stata stipulata un polizza assicurativa multimilionaria presso i Lloyd’s di Londra sulle corde vocali di Céline e le possibili esibizioni mancate di Céline a causa di problemi di voce.

Riguardo i suoi capelli più corti e più biondi, Céline ha affermato:”Ora sono una madre e non volevo perdere tre ore al giorno prima di ogni show per preparare i miei capelli”. “Piuttosto preferisco trascorrere il tempo con mio figlio. Penso che ai miei fans piaccia il fatto che io sia normale”.

According to this aricle taken from Las Vega Sun, Rene said that a multimillion-dollar Lloyd’s of London insurance policy had been taken out on Céline’s vocal cords and about Céline potentially missing performances because of voice problems.

About her new shorter and blonder hair, Céline said: “I am a mother now and I didn’t want to spend three hours a day before every show getting my hair done”. “I’d rather spend the time with my son. I think my fans like the fact that I am normal.”

Chrysler Makes Its Presence Felt at Caesars Palace as Presenting Sponsor Of Celine Dion's New Show, 'A New Day...'

Las Vegas- Il marchio Chrysler avrà una presenza rilevante al Colosseum del Caesars Palace durante il nuovo show di Cèline -- dagli uscieri, i quali indosseranno sul risvolto della giacca spille Chrysler, ai veicoli Chrysler sul display nell'ingresso del teatro. I quattro livelli del Colosseum sono stati chiamati: Chrysler Salon (Livello 1), Crossfire Salon (Livello 2), Pacifica Salon (Livello 3) e Sebring Salon (Livello 4). Il merchandise Chrysler sarà in vendita nei negozi presenti nell'ingresso del teatro. L'unione Dion/Chrysler sta andando bene con i consumatori. Secondo una ricerca fatta su due delle pubblicità televisive: "Town & Country" e "Passion", entrambe hanno trasmesso ai telespettatori lo stile e la raffinatezza dei veicoli Chrysler. Sul fronte interattivo, da Gennaio c'è stato un incremento del 40 % del numero dei visitatori del sito Chrysler.com. La maggior parte dell'incremento è attribuito alla presenza di Céline all'interno del sito e ad iniziative legate a Céline le quali guidavano il traffico telematico a visitare Chrysler.com. Secondo il sito ufficiale del marchio, il prossimo singolo estratto dal nuovo album è "One Heart" !!!

Las Vegas -The Chrysler brand will have a prominent presence at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace during Céline's new show there -- from ushers wearing Chrysler lapel pins to Chrysler vehicles on display in the lobby. The Colosseum four levels are named for Chrysler vehicles: Level 1 is the Chrysler Salon, Level 2 the Crossfire Salon, Level 3 the Pacifica Salon and Level 4 the Sebring Salon. And Chrysler merchandise will be on sale at booths in The Colosseum lobby. The Dion/Chrysler partnership is resonating well with consumers. According to research done on two of the TV ads: "Town & Country" and "Passion," successfully conveyed to viewers the style, refinement and sophistication of Chrysler vehicles. On the interactive front, there has been an increase of more than 40 percent in the number of visitors to chrysler.com since January. Much of that increase is attributed to the presence of Dion within the Web site and other Dion-related initiatives that drove traffic to chrysler.com. According to official site of the brand, "One Heart" will be next single taken from Céline's new album !!!

Yesterday's Press Tour

Ieri, dozzine di media da tutto il mondo hanno dato un'occhiata ad una piccola anteprima dello show. Céline non era presente ma i media hanno potuto assistere a tre differenti esibizioni dei ballerini: "I'm Alive", "Fever" and "I Drove All Night". Dietro i ballerini c'era il mega schermo di 120 piedi (il più grande del Nord America) il quale cambia gli sfondi ad ogni performance: una balconata sul pomeriggio, poi un orizzonte di New York e poi l'interno di stazione ferroviaria.

Yesterday, dozens of media from around the world took a look to a little preview of "A New Day...". Céline was not present but media got to watch three different dance performances -- for the songs "I'm Alive", "Fever" and "I Drove All Night". Behind the dancers is an ever-changing backdrop -- a $6-million, 120-foot-wide LED screen (the largest of its kind in North America.) First it was an afternoon balcony scene, then a New York skyline, then what appeared to be the inside of a train station.

::: SATURDAY'S LAST DRESS REHEARSAL :::

Hello Celine Maniacs, it's Shalimar!

Shalimar s Preview ticket Truly what a wonderful night this was. It took me a little longer to find tickets to Celine’s last rehearsal because everyone wanted to attend this event. This event was free and the not so Celine Dion fans were trying to sell tickets from $50.00-$300.00. Before entering the Colosseum I met Franco Dragone and Rene Angelil and took pictures with them. I all most bought my ticket but my dad got me a ticket and my whole family ended up getting in. As I was standing in line someone noticed me from my pictures and articles on www.celinemaniacs.com. This girl came from Germany along with her three other friends, she was asking me how to get tickets and then her friend came behind her with four tickets from Franco Dragone (how wonderful). When I go into the Colosseum I noticed that they were sitting three rows behind me and I asked if they would like to meet after the show, but they had to meet someone. It was nice to finally meet big fans of Celine after attending five times, without really ever getting that kind of emotion.

Celine started the rehearsal out the same way but she did add the song “Love Can Move Mountains.” Celine was very energetic in this song and the audience got out of their seats and started clapping and dancing to the song. Celine hugged and kissed many people throughout the song, she even brought to young girls on stage with her and twirled them around.

At the very end they rolled credits like how they do at the end of a movie and it said "A New Day..., Celine Dion, produced by Franco Dragone, Feeling Productions Rene Angelil....."

Rene Angelil I waited again at the end of the show and I got Rene’s autograph and even asked him where Celine got her overalls. He said he didn’t know, but the shirt was from Chanel. I have to get me one of these, I really like the style of the overalls. No matter how many times I see this show, it never gets old, there is always something you might have missed in the last show, and there is so much going on with the dancers. You just get lost in the moment of watching and fantasizing, it’s truly magnificent.

The Celine Dion Boutique is open and it is filled with many souviners. I even bought a couple of items a poster, post cards, pictures, candle with Celine’s Picture. There is still so much more that I will buy next time I go, the prices aren’t to bad either. The store even has fine jewelry and musical boxes. It is a true Celine's Maniacs Store you won’t know what to do in there.

I Love You, Céline. You are the Star Of the Millennium.

::: THURSDAY'S DRESS REHEARSAL :::

Hello Celine Maniacs, it's Shalimar again!

Shalimar s Preview ticket More News, isn’t this wonderful? I also attended the thursday night show which was called the CBS and third dress rehersal. This show started at 6:20 and ended at 8:45. A nice man gave me tickets to get in. Celine’s number comes up again in my seating arrangement orch 5 seat 505 yes :) . Nice right lol. 3 fives (three is my lucky number), if you notice all my past three tickets contain a three on them wow. See you start to find connections between numbers when you become a Celine's Maniac like I am. Later on I will mention other things that relate to Celine and my number. These are from my past experiences and my Celine Dion encounter at Tarazza, so it is not to bore you, I know we all would like to get to the story of thurseday night right?

Well again this was like wednesday performance, I will not be relisting the songs, just telling you the new things. The difference was that the Colosseum was filled up with a lot more video cameras and photographers than it usually is. Celine towards the end of her performance wore a cute snug fitting overall with a long sleeved white blouse. This outfit was tight therefore allowing Celine to release her overall straps when it would come to a part of the song she felt fit to let it off. It was so cute I was going to ask Celine’s bodyguard or Rene where she got it from. Céline finally told us the title of the Italian song, it's "Ammore Annascunnuto" (Hidden Love)!!! WONDERFUL!!

After the performance I waited in the colosseum because I had seen Rene earlier before the show started and I wanted to see if I could talk to him. He walked back and forth on the stage and when he was alone I waved to him, but he did not wave back. This might have been because he did not see me or just thought I was waving to someone else, I don’t know.

Claude "Mégo" Lemay s autograph Well I waited a little while longer and went up to the stage to talk with a man that works behind the scenes. I asked him if Mego was there? He said, “Who are you?” and one of Celine’s backup singers said, “A friend.” At that moment Mego came out and I asked him if he could resign a picture for me because the pen I had the last time wasn’t working. He signed it for me and I hugged him and he kissed me twice on the cheek (like the true French do). He also asked me how I liked the show...."OF COURSE!!"

I walked out and there was a CELINE DION STORE on my right, it is located right next to the Colossem in front of the new Bradley Ogden restaurant. Before that night the windows to this store were covered with large pictures of Celine’s “A New Day.” This store is amazing, it is an exclusive store just for Celine no other merchandise is in there. Shirts with Celine’s face, books, pictures, sweat pants out fits, shorts, “Celine Dion Perfums,” and much more. I got my copy of Bonus CD that you can receive with any Celine Dion Parfums purchase of $32 or more. Pictures of the Colosseum will come soon!!.

NOTE: Shalimar also attended Saturday's preview, her report will come soon!!!

Céline Dion tones down New Day's premiere

A New Day, Céline Dion's extravagant new show at Caesar's Palace, will dawn as planned on Tuesday, but without the lavish post-premiere bacchanal. About 45 managers and executives from the consortium behind the three-year run decided yesterday to go ahead with opening night but do without the merrymaking in the outdoor Garden of the Gods. "The country is at war," Jennifer Dunne, spokesperson for the production team, said immediately after the noonhour meeting. "We thought it would be inappropriate to hold a major celebration that would include fireworks." Dion will, however, meet the press in the Emperor's Ballroom after the show, along with Franco Dragone, the Belgian mastermind of A New Day. There will also be a red-carpet ceremony of the sort that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has already rejected for the Oscars on Sunday. Whatever happens in Iraq, Dion is still expected to appear on the Oprah Winfrey show for a full hour on Monday and CBS has not changed its plans to telecast five or six songs live from the gala opening on Tuesday as part of a making-of documentary.

"A NEW DAY..." DRESS REHEARSAL REPORT

Hello Celine's Maniacs, Shalimar reporting to you from Las Vegas, this will be a shorter report compared to my others, since most of it was a repeat, but still enjoyable experience. I'm talking about Wednesday's dress rehearsals.

Shalimar s ticket Shalimar s ticket When I got to the Colosseum there were belly dancers waiting at the front entrance taking pictures with people. The first person I asked for tickets gave me two and my Mom able to join in this experience with me. We got box seating.

The show started at 8:35. Celine came out and described what was going to take place she said “This is our second dress rehearsal, that you are participating in. We are still testing it out and new performances will be added or removed.

Nature Boy” and “The Power Of Love” Celine wore a red glitter nylon type of outfit. Not tight fitting loose and it easily flowed. Her next words were “I’m so thrilled to have you and feel you, is so unbelievable. “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now,” “Because You Loved Me,” “To Love You More,” “I’m Alive.” In these songs she could not help but where her heels. They were about an inch high and thick, not like her usual designer shoes these are dance shoes. “Seduces Me,” in this song Celine pulls up her shirt showing that they were hot and she enjoyed that experience. Her words were “Thank you Dragone, can I bring that chair back with me in three years, will talk about it later.” “If I Could,” and Celine dedicated it to Rene Charles, at the end Celine says “I Love You Rene Charles very much.” “At Last,” “Fever,” “I Got The World On A String.” In the song “Fever” Celine steps on the backs of the men while the other dancer take her down from the piano. I didn’t notice this last time, but the instruments in “I Got The World On A Sting” light up of and on. Celine wears another nylon Cinderella type of dress, the color was blue with a red ribbon around the waist and red thin high heels to match. “I Surrender” and “A New Day Has Come.” “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face,” there was a women floating in wedding dress with a 25 foot train, like Celine wore for her wedding. Celine comes out with a red nylon dress and the giraffe is waiting for her, she says it’s her friend “Hashel.” Six more giraffes appear and at the end three pairs make hearts with their necks and one puts a kiss mark on the screen. The Italian song and “Have You Ever Been In Love.” In “Love Can Move Mountains” dancers came around peoples seats and a male dancer came next to me I touched his back and gave him a high five. “I Wish,” “I Drove All Night,” “My Heart Will Go On,” and “What A wonderful World” were the last songs Celine sang.

War makes diva Celine Dion's star wane

This is an undated handout photo of Celine Dion  Hollywood- La guerra in Iraq ha causato il "momentano declino" della stella di Céline. La cerimonia, programmata per Venerdì, per onorare la diva con la propria stella di bronzo sull'agognata Walk of Fame di Hollywood è stata rinviata a causa delle intenzioni delgi Stati Uniti di invadere l'Iraq. "Sento che è necessario rinviare l'onore di ricevere una stella sulla Walk of Fame di Hollywood a causa dei recenti eventi che stanno accadendo nel mondo"- ha dichiarato Céline "Non sento appropriato al momento di festeggiare questa pietra miliare della mia carriera quando siamo sull'orlo di una guerra. I miei pensieri e preghiere vanno agli uomini, donne e bambini che sono coinvolti in qyesto conflitto"

Hollywood- The war in Iraq has caused a "temporary wane" of Céline's star. The ceremony scheduled for Friday to honour the diva with her own bronze-star on Hollywood's coveted Walk of Fame was postponed as the United States looked poised to invade Iraq. "I feel it is necessary to postpone the honor of receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame due to the current events that are happening in the world," Céline said in a statement. "I do not feel it is appropriate at this time to celebrate this milestone in my career when we are on the brink of war. My thoughts and prayers are with the men, women and children who are involved in this conflict."

::EXCLUSIVE:: L. & G., THE "A NEW DAY..." PREVIEW !!!

Hello Celine's Maniacs, It’s Shalimar from Las Vegas!! I'm sorry for my delay but here's my report of Monday's preview of "A New Day...:

Preview ticket I arrived at the Colosseum at 7:25p.m. I did not have a ticket again and I asked people for any extra tickets they might have. Fifteen minutes after I arrived I spotted Celine’s bodyguard. I walked up to him and thanked him for calling me that night and told him about the report I gave to the Celine's Maniacs website. He asked me if I needed any tickets and I said yes if you could get me one. He looked at the man standing next to him and said he has them for you. His name was Fenny and he asked who I was. The bodyguard said I was a big fan of Celine’s. Fenny took me into the colosseum along with two other women he knew. The waiting time was fun, the cameras scanned through the audience and they took footage of couples, children, and they even panned on me for a minute. I waved into the cameras and held up my Celine Dion picture for all to see. I took notice to see where I was sitting and I was in the fifth row, Celine’s lucky number. There are two sections of orchestra seating and I was in the farther one from the stage this time, but I found the seats to have a wider view from when I was closer to the stage. Don’t get me wrong from my experience both seats were great. As the cameras continued to scan through the audience the TV screen began to crack, this was a special effect.

Celine entered on stage and told everyone that these are performances that might not be seen again. They were trying things out and from the audiences responses they would see what they would keep. She also mentioned that no costumes were going to be used for that night. Celine opened her act with “Nature Boy,” she was wearing a black suit with a white shirt underneath. Next, came “I’m Alive,” the city life was going on in the TV fast cars raced in opposite directions. (When mentioning TV this is a large screen that takes up the whole back wall of the stage.)

Celine was singing live, for those who wanted to know all signs were shown (Example:When Celine brought the microphone away from her face and it sounded distant like it should.) I Surrender,” when this song started a chandelier came down. Every note was sung perfectly in this song and flames surrounded Celine on the TV. “Have You Ever Been In Love” came next on her list. Celine took a moment after this song to say: "The next three songs I will sing are classics At Last,” “Fever,” and “I Got The World On A String.” In the song “Fever” Celine sings on the piano that Mego plays (Celine’s pianist). Then she stands up and two men carry her off the stairs. Mego snaps his fingers in beat with the music and Celine starts to work it, shaking her little booty :) . The piano they used for this song is part of one of the two large stair cases that are located on the stage. When they are finished with it, it is lowered and is free to be walked on. The song “I Got The World On A String,” they bring out about twenty instruments on cables with people pretending to play them. The instruments are very large and colorful, some include the saxophone, piano, and guitar. Celine joins in with her dancers in a Broadway style of dance, it was really awesome to see Celine dance in such a way.

The introduction to the song “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now,” plays as the dancers dance and Celine does a quick clothes change. Thunder sounds and the dome of Caesars Palace can be seen on the TV and then Celine appears in black pants and a white shirt. Baby, baby, baby, when you touch me like this... is sung and her voice is so powerful and strong. Next came my favorite song “Because You Loved Me,” a sunset appears and brightens up the dome. The violins started playing, and it was for the song “To Love You More,” clouds roll in on the screen and birds fly in the sky. This was the part I was waiting for which is what Celine calls, flying. She was in the air about a hundred feet by the end of the song “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face.” Celine was lifted all the way up to the ceiling to where there is a place where she can reenter the stage somehow.

When Celine came back out she found a giraffe waiting for her, this was on the TV. She joked a little with it, saying It’s a little to late to be joining the show..., and the peanuts at the gift shop are really good. It was all really cute and funny. The giraffes disappeared and she sang “A New Day Has Come.” There were different colored smokes that filled in as the background on the TV and female dancers dressed up in peacock feathers moved around the stage. “Seduces Me,” was next and we all know what happens in this scene, men, men, and more men.

There is one in every show it was a song sung in Italian and I am not even able to guess at the title this time. Celine did say it was a song from Neaples, Italy and It’s as passionate as the people there. Italian houses were shown on the screen. After she was finished singing she asked if it made us hungry and she said well I’m hungry. She also said I believe you only find one love in your life. Then she introduced her song “Je T'aime Encore” (I Love You Still). A letter writes on the screen by itself, with no pen about a little boy learning how to play the guitar and he also wants to live in Rome. Celine is constantly and considerately asking her dancers if they are doing all right and touches some of them on their faces every once on a while. “If I Could,” this is where the piano is pushed across the stage in midair by the two men.Love Is All We Need” (Celine’s new song from One Heart). It’s upbeat and all the musicians join on stage playing their instruments and having fun. There are motorized apparatuses that hold the keyboarders and dancers move them around stage with controls they have on there arm rest. "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder. In this song pretend fans run after Celine with cameras and Celine runs off stage. Her next song, another from One Heart, “I Drove All Night.

The media have been talking about a large moon that appears in the show, I am not sure if It’s this one, but it was on TV for “My Heart Will Go On.” The moon is very large when it first appears and it moves throughout the universe. Towards the end the moon is distant and doves start flying toward it and a hundred falling stars fall across the screen. It was very peaceful to hear this song because I have not heard it sung live since 1999, it was really nice. Celine stops to talk again she says “It was a fun night, I thank you very much. Sometimes the world seems like It’s gone bad, but I go to the crib of my baby as he sleeps. There are millions of other little heads in the world and if we give them a chance to grow, the world would be a wonderful place.” She leads into the song of “What A Wonderful World.” They captured moments of older men and still shots of our audience, then at the very end Celine was in a still shot of her present position. Celine had another great performance, everything went well and her voice was strong, powerful and full of emotion. I loved this performance and there is still more to come, It’s amazing to see that Franco dreamed all of this up, he is truly magnificent.

When I left the building I noticed that there were was a board that said you consent to letting CBS air any of the footage that will be taken, this is exactly what it said for the Harpo productions.

A mutual cancellation - Reason: THE WAR!!

Oggi Céline avrebbe dovuto registrare un intervista col famoso anchor-man americano Larry King. Infatti lo staff dello show è stato a Las Vegas in questi giorni per preparare l'intervista ma il tutto è stato disdetto. "E' stata una cancellazione consensuale"- ha insistito Erin Sermeus, la portavoce del programma. "Larry non vedeva l'ora di intervistare Céline, ma con l'escalation della situazione Irachena, abbiamo pensato che sia stato meglio riprogrammare l'intervista". Una fonte vicina a King ha dichiarato al VegasBeat che Céline ha scelto di cancellare; E siccome il pubblico di Oprah -principalmente femminile- è più consono a Céline di quelli del Larry King Live, Céline ha cancellato la sua apparizione da Larry meno di 24 ore prima della messa in onda. Nello stesso articolo, viene confermato l'intero racconto che la nostra reporter a Las Vegas, Shalimar, fece sulla registrazione dell'Oprah's show.

Celine was supposed to do it all over again today with King in the interviewer's chair. King staffers have been in Vegas for some time preparing for the interview. But it was called off. Everyone has a different story why. "It was a mutual cancellation," insisted "Larry King Live" spokeswoman Erin Sermeus. "Larry was very much looking forward to interviewing her, but with the escalating situation in Iraq everyone thought it best to reschedule." A source close to the King show told VegasBeat that Celine chose to cancel; And since Oprah's audience -- primarily female -- is more in step with Celine's than King's, the source suggested, Celine dumped her King appearance less than 24 hours before she was supposed to go on. In the same article, they confirm the whole story that Céline's Maniacs' reporter in Vegas, Shalimar, did about Oprah's Show taping.

CELINE'S MANIACS ALSO AT THE PREVIEW OF A NEW DAY!!

Dear readers, Celine's Maniacs' reporter in Vegas is a very lucky girl... SHE ATTENDED THE PREVIEW OF "A NEW DAY..." LAST NIGHT!!! A Bodyguard gave her a ticket : Orchestra level seat, row 5 (Céline's lucky number). She told that the show was amazing!!! Céline sang more than 20 songs...and one of these songs was in Italian (maybe in the Neapolitan dialect)!! Unfortunately our reporter doesn't speak Italian so she wasn't able to understand the song-title...Céline before singing it told to her audience " This song is passionate like the people who live there!! ".

This show was a CBS Special, we all know that official site said that the special will be a live program, but in the Colosseum there were posters that said you consented to this CBS Special to take any footage of you. Anyways, more details about this fantastic preview will be revealed this evening...so Let's keep in touch!! The latest news about preview... the show lasted from 8 p.m. to 11:15 p.m.

::: CELINE'S MANIACS LAND IN OPRAH'S SHOW!!! :::

Dear readers, here is the wonderful story of our reporter in Vegas about yesterday's experience at the Oprah Winfrey's Show. "I had to arrive early at the Colosseum because I had no idea what time it would start, so I was there at 10:30am. I immediately started asking people what, where, when, and, how could I get tickets to the show. Everyone I spoke to said no tickets, but this did not stop me. A guy who worked at the ticket collecting area was a nice guy and was trying to help me out with the tickets and kept me updated on the show times and rules. These tickets were not open to the general public! Just for Caesars Palace employees.

It was about 2 hours into my journey when I saw Celine's bodyguard come out of the Colosseum. I asked him if I could take a picture with him and he asked "why?" I said "you' re a bodyguard right?" He was surprised I wanted his picture, but humbly took it with me. I hugged him in the picture and I was so happy just to see him I squeezed him around the waist, he was really nice.

Later on a boy came up to me and asked if I was waiting for Celine, he was also a fan. We started talking then the bodyguard came back talking on his cell phone, so I waited for him to finish and asked if there was anyway I could see Celine. I offered to stand if there wasn't enough seats but he said he couldn't get me in. I said "everything I see here I'm taking notes and it will be posted on a website (www.celinemaniacs.com) and that I am constantly promoting Celine". He said "give me your number and I will call you to get you tickets for this weeks show". I gave him my number and he asked me "you're the one with the perfume?" and I said "you remember me?" That was really cool. The boy that I had been talking to was bummed out that he did not go up with me when I talked to the bodyguard.

Preview ticket Waiting, waiting, and waiting around and my savior stands right in front of me I asked this lady if she had any extra tickets and she said "yes" and handed me THE TICKET, I gave her a great big hug. I was in after all of that, but you know it's all worth it when it comes to Celine. I got fifth row seating, smack dab in the middle and later found out I was in the same row and about 7 seats away from where Oprah would be sitting.

The show started at 2:15 and Celine started out singing LIVE "The Power Of Love." She wore a very sheer and see through outfit for this song. Her hair is short and it's not as bad as people think she looks good in person. She did a clothes change and later came back with a white shirt and black slacks. Celine moves more like a dancer now and doesn't where high heels or tight fitting clothes. She wears ballet shoes and dances a lot more. She went on to sing "Seduces Me" and she sat in a chair while all these male dancers with no shirts gathered around her trying to touch her, but couldn't because she's just untouchable like that.:) She told jokes after singing that song about how those guys looked good and that women need a chair like that. She dedicated the next song to René Charles! From what I know this song isn't on the new album but my guess of the title would be "If I Could." The dancers in this song came down on wires as little children on swings and a tree came from below the stage and grew. Celine said it takes a lot of water to keep a tree like that alive in a place like Las Vegas. She ended her performance with "I drove All Night". She danced really loosely in this song.

I can't remember what song this happened in, but two male dancers on wires walked across the stage in mid air pushing a piano as if they were on the floor, that was an interesting effect. The interview at the end was short because they said they had more footage from when they followed Celine around. Oprah said she was glad to have the name "women" because Celine is wonderful. Celine was truly touched and almost came to tears from the warm welcome she got from everyone and was truly happy to have been there.

Vocalists The show ended at 4:20 At the very end I met Celine's back up singers and piano player they all signed there autographs for me. They commented on my name and Elise hugged and kissed me on the cheek and said she would see me again. Hopefully this will be true. I did not get to see Celine personally this time, but I got Oprah's autograph!!

Oprah

Interesting facts:

Note: Celine's body guard is a man of his word he called my house 10 minutes before 2:00 to tell me he got me tickets into the Oprah show, my roommate told him I was already at the show!

["That's all.... This is Shalimar, Celine's Maniacs' reporter in Vegas!";
Thank you, Shalimar!!]

More Details About "A NEY DAY..." !!!

rehearses a flying sequence, in which she is lifted 50 feet in the air. It also features Nikolai Skrypka. Secondo questo lungo articolo tratto dal Los Angeles Times, ci sono sette canzoni con la parola "amore" nei titoli della scaletta di "A New Day...". Prevedibilmente, ci sarà una combinazione di hits: da "My Heart Will Go On," la canzone tema del "Titanic a "What a Wonderful World" (classico di Louis Armstrong), alla ballata francese "Je t'aime Encore". Non c'è alcuna storia, ma ci sarà moltissimo da guardare: strumenti musicali volanti, alberi che vengono fuori dal sotto palco e fioriscono. E, naturalmente, la luna, una luna gigante. Essa apparirà sul più spettacolare pezzo dello show, uno schermo ad alta risoluzione 34 piedi x 110, un pezzo da 6 milioni di dollari di tecnologia che provvederà agli sfondi tridimensionali dello show.

 According to this long article taken from Los Angeles Times, there are seven songs with the word "love" in the titles in Céline's set list for "A New Day..." Predictably, there will be a combination of her melodramatic hits, torch songs and crowd-pleasers -- "My Heart Will Go On," the love theme from "Titanic"; the Louis Armstrong classic "What a Wonderful World"; the French ballad "Je t'aime Encore." There is no story, but there will be plenty to look at : flying musical instruments, trees that come from beneath the stage and blossom. And, of course, the moon, a giant moon. It will appear on the show's most spectacular set piece, a high-definition movie screen that is 34 feet by 110 feet, a $6-million piece of technology that will provide the show's various three-dimensional backdrops.

Reminder: Oprah

Oggi, la regina del del talk show americano registrerà uno special con Céline Dion, la quale sarà presto incoronata la regina dello spettacolo di Las Vegas. Lo show andrà in onda il 25 Marzo (il 24, secondo il sito della Sony!), il giorno in cui Céline inaugurerà gli show al Colosseum del Caesars Palace.

Celine's show ups Vegas' ante with $220 ticket

Sarà "un nuovo giorno" anche per lo spettacolo di Las Vegas quando il 25 Marzo Céline colpirà la "Strip"! E non perchè il suo nuovo show, "A New Day...", promette rappresentazioni teatrali uniche. Questa produzione segna anche l'arrivo di una nuova era nei prezzi nella città. I posti migliori nel Colosseum, teatro da 4000 posti costato 95 milioni di dollari, costano 219.50 dollari tasse incluse. Persino i posti più economici costano più di cento dollari. "I prezzi dello show sono "over the top" persino per Las Vegas", ha detto Anthony Curtis, editore del Las Vegas Advisor. Sebbene show con prezzi elevati, lanciati negli ultimi anni, hanno riempito i posti, i casinò non hanno aumentato i prezzi perchè essi fanno guadagnare. Ma alti prezzi, come quelli del Colosseum, possono anche avere lo scopo di attirare giocatori di alto rango"- ha aggiunto Curtis.

It'll be "a new day" also for Las Vegas entertainment when Céline will hit the Strip on March 25. And not just because her new show, "A New Day...", promises unique theatricals. This production also marks the arrival of a new era in pricing in the city. The top seats in the $95 million, 4,000-seat Colosseum theater at Caesars Palace cost $219.50 apiece with tax. Even the cheap seats are more than $100. ''The show's pricing is over the top,'' even for Vegas, said Anthony Curtis, publisher of Las Vegas Advisor newsletter. Though big-ticket shows launched in recent years have been filling seats, casinos aren't just adding them because they're moneymakers. But a high-ticket show also is likely to bring a high-profile gambler,'' Curtis added.

TIME MAGAZINE!!!!

MARCH 17, 2003 vol 161 no.11 Sull'ultimo numero del "Time Magazine" (Marzo 17, Vol. 161- No.11) troverete un articolo dedicato a Céline!! Clicca qui o sulla copertina per leggere l'articolo. Secondo l'articolo, Céline canterà 18 canzoni fra sue canzoni e cover, tra cui alcuni classici di Las Vegas quali: "Fever" e "I've Got the World on a String". Lo show includerebbe anche un interludio di "Romeo e Giulietta", un albero che fiorirebbe sul palco e un'orchestra volante!!! Lo show si aprirà con Céline che canta "Nature Boy" di Nat King Cole in un punto solitario, dopo di che la scena si colora sempre più. La versione completa di A New Day... vista a fine Febbraio: Céline è al centro del palcoscenico per alcune canzoni e si libra in volo durante altre, c'è anche un personaggio accompagnatore il quale dà un rilievo comico a parte dello show. Céline è preoccupata dal fatto che 200 show all'anno possano fare danni alla sua voce, ma il Caesars Palace ha fatto in modo che tutto le sia confortevole: un ascensore privato, un sotto-palco, 8 suite esclusive per la sua famiglia e un impianto umidificatore da 2 milioni di dollari che mantiene l'umidità al 55%. "Penso che sia il primo teatro costruito solo per i cantanti"- ha detto Céline - "canterò per un'ora e mezza... non vogliono che lo show duri di più perchè vogliono che le persone vadano a perdere denaro al casinò!!".

On the current issue of "Time Magazine" (March 17, Vol. 161- No.11) you'll be able to find an article dedicated to Céline!! To read the article click here or on the cover. According to this article, "A New Day..." would feature a mix of 18 Céline songs and covers, among them such classic Vegas numbers as "Fever" and "I've Got the World on a String". There would be a wordless Romeo and Juliet interlude, a tree that would bloom onstage and a flying orchestra!! The show opens with Dion singing Nat King Cole's "Nature Boy" in a solitary spot, then segues into a series of increasingly colorful, abstract production numbers. Céline is at center stage for some songs and hovers at the edges during others while an usher character provides comic relief. Dion is worried that the demands of 200 shows a year may affect her voice but Caesars Palace has done everything it can to make her comfortable. The Colosseum has a private elevator for her use, a below-stage, eight-room suite exclusively for her family and a $2 million atmospheric bubble that keeps the onstage humidity at a constant 55%. "I think it's the first theater constructed just for singers," says Dion. "And really, I'm singing for only an hour and a half. They don't want the show to exceed that because they want people to go back and lose money to casino!"

Couple indicted on charge of extorting Celine Dion's husband

LAS VEGAS - Una donna della California e suo marito sono stati accusati di estorsione, cospirazione e corruzione dopo aver sostenuto che il marito di Céline avesse violentato la donna in uno degli Hotel-casino della Strip di Las Vegas.

Un grand-giurì della contea di Clark (Nevada) ha emanato ieri due ordini di arresto per Yun Kyeong Kwon Sung,47, e suo marito, Ae Hoe Kwon,50.

I due potrebbero affrontare 10 anni di prigione se fossero riconosciuti colpevoli.

Il caso è solo uno filo del groviglio di cause civili e legali in cui è coinvolta la coppia.

Secondo l’accusa, essi pretesero 13.5 milioni di dollari da Renè per far cadere l’accusa. Sung, Kwon, l’avvocato di René e un agente in borghese, presentato come un rappresentante di René, si incontrarono a Las Vegas a Gennaio. “Lei, suo marito e i loro legali arrivarono e pretesero immediatamente i milioni…E’ il caso più chiaro di estorsione che io abbia mai visto!”- ha detto l’agente in borghese. La polizia in quell’occasione registrò l’incontro con una videocamera nascosta. In seguito, i due furono arrestati e la polizia di Las Vegas chiuse il caso contro René.

LAS VEGAS - A California woman and her husband have been indicted on extortion, conspiracy and bribery charges after claiming that Celine Dion's husband raped the woman in a Las Vegas Strip hotel-casino in March 2000.

A Clark County grand jury handed up an indictment Tuesday and issued arrest warrants for Yun Kyeong Kwon Sung, 47, and her husband, Ae Hoe Kwon, 50, of Pasadena, court officials said Thursday. An arraignment date had not been set.

Sung and Kwon could face up to 10 years in prison if convicted on the felony extortion charge.

The case is one thread in a tangle of civil and criminal cases in Las Vegas involving Sung and Kwon.

According to the indictment, they sought $13.5 million from Dion's husband, Rene Angelil, to drop a criminal complaint. Sung, Kwon, Angelil's lawyer and an undercover police detective posing as Angelil's representative met in January in Las Vegas, Las Vegas police Lt. Ted Snodgrass said. "She and her husband and their lawyers came in and demanded millions," Snodgrass said Thursday. "It's the most clear-cut extortion I've ever seen." Police taped the session by undercover video and audio. Sung and Kwon were arrested afterward, and Las Vegas police closed the sex assault investigation without seeking criminal charges against Angelil.
