We Have The NAME!!

Weeks ago we talked about the very lucky fan that would have been crowned "The 1,000,000th fan" by purchasing the one-millionth ticket to Céline's "A New Day...". To celebrate this milestone, the one-millionth ticket buyer will be awarded with a Caesars Palace VIP prize package and private meeting with Celine.

The ticket was purchased by Amanda Gulbransen of Minneapolis, Minnesota (U.S.A.), who bought two tickets for herself and a friend for a weekend getaway to Las Vegas. During Amanda's September visit, Céline will personally welcome her to "A New Day..." and award her with a commemorative plaque.

In addition to a private meet and greet with Celine at the show, Amanda and her guest will receive a spectacular VIP stay at Caesars Palace. "I am so excited to meet and welcome Amanda to `A New Day...,'" said Céline. "Knowing that we have had the support of a million fans is unbelievable. I feel fortunate to be part of a show that has provided the opportunity to intimately connect with so many people."

"A New Day..." is the #1 show in America (Pollstar), playing to record crowds every night since its March 2003 debut and continuing to wow crowds and earn accolades.

Dear Amanda, if you like our website, we'll be more than happy to post on our pages a review and pictures from your INCREDIBLE NIGHT!!

A Second Chance! But...

(12:30 p.m. GMT) In retrospect, Céline Dion made a bold move last year, inviting reporters to "A New Day..." in its first week out of the gate. Her husband-manager, Rene Angelil, suggested recently it might have been a mistake. "We wanted you to take a second look," Angelil told reporters (the same day when they organized the rare Q&A session). But Céline's illness caused her to cancel five days of shows, including one that was to have been a reappraisal (Thurday, September 16) by some of the critics who first saw it on March 25 of last year.

"It's not the same show. It's like a new show," he said of the spectacle that opened to mixed-to-poor reviews. "The public, they loved it right away because they love Celine and it's very spectacular and a lot of things happen onstage," Angelil noted. "But we knew that it could be better. And it did get better. I would say that to me I think it took six months before the show really got tight."

Celine ready to hit the road to promote new album

(5:24 p.m. GMT) The Celine Dion publicity machine is cranking up again, with the singer hitting the road to maintain her national profile during an October break from her Caesars Palace residency. The singer will promote her new "Miracles" project, due Oct. 12 (in North America), two days after she closes a stint at the Colosseum (Elton John will be there Oct. 12-31).

A CD of lullabies and children's songs will be sold separately or together with a coffee table book by photographer Anne Geddes, known for her photos of babies. The pictures of the singer posing with babies less than 3 weeks old were shot in Las Vegas, Angelil said last week. The CD includes the song "If I Could," which she has been performing in her Caesars show "A New Day..." The promotional drive includes an Oct. 14 return to "Oprah," which launched "A New Day" with an exclusive interview last year. "Of course she will do Larry King and all the morning shows," as well as an international press conference by satellite, husband-manager Rene Angelil told reporters last week.

Angelil had to pinch hit in a planned news conference last week after his wife contracted a sinus infection. He announced a one-year extension of the original three-year pact with Caesars. When local reporter Bobbie Katz asked how he liked living at Lake Las Vegas, Angelil delivered an endorsement that could well end up in the Henderson community's next ad campaign: "It's like paradise," he said. "Lake Las Vegas is the complete opposite of the Strip. When you arrive on the Strip it's like the jungle."

"That weighed a lot in the decision to stay an extra year," he added. "Now that we know how peaceful it is, how great it is, we really love it here." Audiences who arrived to find the show canceled Sept. 16 were invited to watch a DVD of "A New Day" -- not yet available on home video -- on the stage's big LCD screen. "She has blond hair, which I don't particularly like," Angelil said of the DVD filmed 10 months ago. "She's beautiful the way she is right now."

Céline gets one-year extension at Caesars Palace!

(3:00 p.m. GMT) Céline canceled her yesterday's show, but her husband/manager announced she will more than make up for it by extending her Caesars Palace residency by one more year. Rene Angelil broke the news to reporters at a previously planned news conference, after ticket-buyers had been told the singer contracted a sinus infection and canceled all shows through Sunday.

Originally contracted for three years, Céline will now be the main attraction at Caesars' Colosseum beyond March 2007. She performs about 200 shows per year. Caesars Palace does not share ticket revenue from the show produced by the Concerts West division of Anschutz Entertainment Group. Angelil said they were offered "a very long period" of extension, but opted for one year.

"Today (yesterday), she has difficulties in breathing, her nose is blocked", confessed René Angélil. Yesterday, the singer was visited by two doctors, who diagnosted an infection to the sinus. "We had to cancel her shows till Sunday, so the next show will be performed on next wednesday", said Mr Angélil. "Of course, all the fans who were supposed to see the show will be reimbursed and they'll be able to come and see the show when they want!"

As a consolation, the Colosseum audience watched the show recorded for the DVD -on the big screen of the Colosseum-, which will be released in a few weeks.

According to René, Céline's infection is due to the smoke used on the stage of World Music Awards, during the performance she did last wednesday. "It's not her usual environment. The smoke which has been used on stage is not the same that we use in the show usually" explains the singer's husband and manager. "In 'A New Day', it's a water-based smoke whereas the WMA one was a chemical one. Céline is allergic to all this kind of products".

Close To A Three-Year Contract Extension?

(6:00 a.m. GMT) Vegas Beat and other Las Vegas newspapers reported a few weeks ago that Diva Las Vegas and Caesars Entertainment were close to a deal that would extend her contract for one year -- at $40 million -- with an option for a second.

Turns out that the contract extension is now going to be for another three years, at the least, and earn the French-Canadian chanteuse as much as $150 million !!. Celine's s original contract, a three-year agreement, was for a reported $100 million plus a percentage of the show's profits. Her show, "A New Day ..." debuted at The Colosseum on March 25, 2003. After she signs the extension, she will be under contract to Caesars through MARCH 2009.

"She loves that she is stationary and can raise her son in one place. Caesars is happy that sells out every show and is a good citizen. And everyone is benefiting financially," said a source, who is directly involved in the negotiations. More details will be surely revealed during this Thursday's Q&A session that will take place at the Colosseum after performing her show.

Reminder: Céline on Radio Canada TV

from Journal de Montreal - Quebec - September 10, 2004 There's the September 11th of horror in 2001, but also the September 11th of peace, of the dove. It was in 1984. Pope John-Paul II was entering the Montreal Olympic Stadium in front of 60,000 young people. That night, a young 16 years old girl sang a song about love and peace: "Une Colombe". Twenty years later the "Dove" remains the highlight of that night. The host of the French-Canadian show,"Second Regard", met Céline in Las Vegas. Céline talks about how she lived those moments and how those two September 11th's changed her life. The interview in French will be broadcasted TODAY, on Radio-Canada TV at 1:30 p.m. ET and on RDI at 6:00 p.m. ET.

Céline's Interview On Radio-Canada

Indicatif present

Here's the summary of an interwiew that Céline gave to a French Canadian Radio, before coming back to Las Végas...

The reporter asks what are her feelings about her sedentary life. Céline answers that she doesn't feel "home" in Las Végas, she does in Québec. "Las Vegas is not a good place for a singer" she said, because of the weather. Céline misses Quebec's nature and climate.

Now that she's a mother, Céline doesn't like travelling as she did before. Rene-Charles is her first thought. She wants him to feel good and wants to grow him by herself. She's aware of the fact that the show-business is imposed to him and wants to offer him happiness.

Then the reporter asks Céline if she had ever had the feeling of spoiling her adolescence. She doesn't have that feeling even if she knows that her adolescence had not been like the others. But it's a choice, nobody compelled her to do it. She wanted to work hard, early. Despite the great things which happened to her, she's proud of herself because she is always the same person, who prefered shoes to drugs or alcohol! LOOL

Céline said that she'll probably work in the cinema. She also talks about her desire of another pregnancy. "What's the thing for whom you're prouder?" "The simple girl who I was and am". But, she has a little regret: she didn't study a lot. She hopes René Charles will study more than she did, but above all that he'll be a good person.

"3 words to describe you": the worst for Céline is speaking about herself. She answers Strong, Lucky and Perseverant. The reporter asks Céline if she likes competition... She likes it, but she's in competition only with herself. She thinks that's important in this job! When she was a little girl, she was already dazzled by Tv shows like Grammy Awards, American Music Awards. They made her dream. But she had to reach that dream "step by step".

Céline doesn't listen to any music when she is home. She listens to natural noises, as birds singing... etc... She had to stop talking as she was used to do before because she had a vocal problem. But now, she's less silent than she has been used to be.

About her father's death: she feels tense. Maybe because she didn't live her father's dead as well as she thought, or maybe because it's too hard and she can't express it.

Céline deeply desire keeping on singing in French, even though she sold more albums in English. It's important to her. It's her roots. About Money: Céline knows she's lucky earning so much money. She saves up money for the future studies of RC. She buys many things to her son, especially toys. She asks her body-guards to tell her fans to wait when she's playing with him, in order to protect him. At the beggining RC refused everything which were connected to show-bussiness (big parties, applauses, pics...etc..).

At the end, the reporter asks Céline what she would change if she could start over again. Céline answers "Everybody would like me to say 'nothing'. But we're in privacy... I'd tell you I'm not sure I would start it again... Maybe we could talk about that in 10 years...."
