Celine Dion has joined in the American Cancer Society's "Happy Birthday" campaign to promote the fight against cancer in this new TV spot. Hard to believe she just gave birth to twins!

Celine Dion Welcomes Twin Boys

Celine Dion gave birth to healthy fraternal twin boys on Saturday at 11:11 AM & 11:12 AM. The twins, who have yet to be named, weighed in at 5 lbs., 10 oz. & 5 lbs., 4 oz. Despite giving birth via C-section, the 42-year-old singer's new bundles of joy were born premature, so they will spend the next few days in the hospital. It's been a bumpy road to get to this point for Celine & her family, so I want to congratulate them & wish them all the best!

Celine Dion "Pure Brilliance" Ad + More

Celine Dion has debuted the print ad for her eighth fragrance Pure Brilliance, which arrives in stores this month. That's quite a claim! (lol) Wanna see what's going on on the other side of her famously slender physique? The 42-year-old singer, who is due to give birth to twin boys in November, recently posed alongside her family (including her son--with short hair!) on the cover of a French magazine:

Celine Dion Pregnant With Twins

After six in-vitro attempts, Celine Dion has finally become pregnant again--with twins! The 42-year-old, who even turned to acupunture to increase her chances of conception, is 14 weeks along & plans on finding out the gender of the babies next month. What an incredible blessing for Celine!

Celine Dion "Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert" Revised Cover

Celine Dion's upcoming DVD/CD release "Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert" (May 11th) has received a new look. I like both of the covers, but I guess it makes sense, considering you couldn't see her face on the other one.

Celine Dion "Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert" Cover

Alongside the DVD release of her documentary "Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World," Celine Dion will release her "Taking Chances World Tour: The Concert" in its entirety on May 11th. The DVD/CD release, cover art for which is featured above, will include the 80-minute show as filmed in Boston. Most of the songs from the concert will be included on the CD, but you can click HERE to see the exact tracklisting. Celine's really trying to empty my pockets come mid-May, but her talent more than justifies purchasing both of these exciting releases! (Especially since I still haven't seen "Celine: Through The Eyes Of The World" because, once again, they didn't bring it to where I live. SMH)

"We Are The World 25 For Haiti" Video Premiere

As you may have heard, Quincy Jones & Lionel Richie gathered 81 acts on February 1st to remake "We Are The World" for Haiti in the same studio where the original was recorded 25 years ago. With the help of producers Wyclef Jean, Rickey Minor, & RedOne, artists such as Janet Jackson, Jennifer Hudson, Nicole Scherzinger, India.Arie, Melanie Fiona, Mya, Keri Hilson, Brandy, Pink, Jordin Sparks, Celine Dion, Katharine McPhee, Usher, Kanye West, Fergie, Mary J. Blige, & Toni Braxton took part in this piece of history. It even features Michael Jackson! The final result can be viewed above & I think it came out pretty well. Could've given some solos to Brandy & Jordin Sparks instead of Justin Bieber & She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named, but you can't always win. Just gotta remember it's all for a good cause! Speaking of which, you can download "We Are The World 25 For Haiti" HERE from iTunes, proceeds from which will benefit Haiti.

Celine Dion Returning To Vegas

Celine Dion is set to reside in Las Vegas for another three years beginning on March 15, 2011. She will be returning to the Colosseum at Caesar's Palace that was build for her five-year "A New Day..." show, which ran through 2007. Celine, who's coming off her "Taking Chances" world tour, plans to have a full orchestra-accompanied show inspired by the romance of classic Hollywood movies. I wish I could've seen her original show live, but for anyone else who has the DVD, you know her new one is gonna be quite a spectacle! Speaking of which, Celine's documentary "Celine Through The Eyes Of The World" based on her recent world tour will be playing in theaters nationwide throughout the latter half of February... but, of course(!), not in my area, so if you go, enjoy it for the both of us!

The 2010 Grammys Recap



Michael Jackson Tribute



Pink "Glitter In The Air"



Mary J. Blige & Andrea Bocelli "Bridge Over Troubled Water"



Beyonce - Medley



The Black-Eyed Peas - Medley

The 2010 Grammys were on tonight & they were so-so, which makes for an improvement over last year at least. Of course, the night's big event was the Michael Jackson tribute featuring Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, & Smokey Robinson. They may not honor them with their awards, but the Grammys certainly did a great job choosing very talented vocalists to sing "Earth Song." Despite recycling it from her Funhouse tour (get that DVD already, folks!), Pink awed with her performance, which, I must say, was an excellent & refreshing choice for the Grammys. Mary J. Blige joined Andrea Bocelli on stage for a Haiti tribute, which was amazing. Click HERE for the download link to their studio recording of the song, which benefits Haiti. Beyonce also recycled her "If I Were A Boy"/"You Oughta Know" tour medley, but to lesser effect. Don't get me wrong: Beyonce did a great job on top of having an even better night, but I would've preferred either something new or, honestly, more fitting. Lastly, The Black-Eyed Peas performed their gag-inducing "I Gotta Feeling" after their new single "Imma Be" & were entertaining. Check out the winners below (complete list HERE), which include Beyonce with six, the most for a female performer in one night ever!
  • Beyonce: Song Of The Year ("Single Ladies (Put A Ring On It)"), Best Female Pop Vocal Performance ("Halo"), Best Female R&B Vocal Performance ("Single Ladies"), Best Traditional R&B Vocal Performance ("At Last"), Best R&B Song ("Single Ladies"), Best Contemporary R&B Album (I Am... Sasha Fierce)
  • The Black-Eyed Peas: Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocals ("I Gotta Feeling"), Best Pop Vocal Album (The E.N.D.), Best Short Form Music Video ("Boom Boom Pow")
  • Rihanna & Kanye West: Best Rap/Sung Collaboration ("Run This Town"), Best Rap Song ("Run This Town")
  • India.Arie: Best Urban/Alternative Performance ("Pearls")
  • Imogen Heap: Best Engineered Album, Non-Classical (Ellipse)
  • Carrie Underwood: Best Country Collaboration With Vocals ("I Told You So")
  • Michael Jackson: Lifetime Achievement Award

Michael Jackson 3D Tribute To Be Staged At Grammys

This year's Grammys are all set to give Michael Jackson a tribute fit for the King of Pop. They will be broadcasting a 3D clip set to Michael's hit "Earth Song" that was created for use in his "This Is It" concert tour. Accompanying the video will be Usher, Celine Dion, Carrie Underwood, Smokey Robinson, & Jennifer Hudson (who was previously speculated to be a performer & now we know in what way). It is noted that although part of this clip was shown in the "This Is It" film, the entire video will be broadcast in 3D at the Grammys. If you don't have any 3D glasses, you can pick some up before the show at your local Target. In addition, Jackson will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony. The 2010 Grammys air Sunday, January 31st, @ 8/7c!

Disney World Christmas Day Parade Performance Highlights



Celine Dion "Don't Save It All For Christmas Day"



Celine Dion "O Come All Ye Faithful"



Kris Allen "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree"

Don't totally shake off that Christmas spirit just yet because HQ (if not perfect) videos of Celine Dion & Kris Allen's performances on the Disney World Christmas Day Parade have just surfaced & they're too incredible, in Celine's case, & fun, in Kris', to miss! In fact, I don't care if Christmas is over. I suddenly feel the urge to pull out Celine's These Are Special Times CD--if not her entire catalog!

Celine Dion NOT Pregnant

Turns out, as is often a reality for IVF users, Celine Dion's recent attempts to get pregnant have failed. She & her husband Rene haven't given up trying, however, to conceive their second child. News like this is always hard to hear, but I wish them courage & success as they move forward.

Celine Dion Pregnant

Celine Dion is pregnant with her second child. Through in vitro fertilization, the "ecstatic" 41-year-old singer's recent pregnancy was made possible. Celine & Rene also used the process to have their first child, Rene-Charles, in 2001. I'm very happy for her & I hope that she has a smooth pregnancy on her way to making her dream of motherhood come true once again.

The Grammy Nominations Concert Performance Highlights

Mariah Carey "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)"

Christina Aguilera "I Love You Porgy"

Celine Dion "At Seventeen"

For the first time ever last night, the Grammy nominations were announced in a live concert event that included some wonderful performances. Mariah Carey performed her very own holiday classic "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)," while Christina Aguilera gave a tribute to Nina Simone by singing "I Love You Porgy" & Celine Dion performed Janis Ian's "At Seventeen." While the hour-long special featured very few nominee announcements & was a waste of time that I suggest they not turn into a tradition, at least we got some top-notch performances out of it.

Katharine McPhee, Others Featured On "Hit Man: David Foster & Friends"

Another day, another random album appearance for Katharine McPhee. I'm only kidding, as I'll always take what I can get, but Katharine McPhee will, among others, be featured on the new album from David Foster called Hit Man: David Foster & Friends (November 11th). The collection will cover David, a pianist, playing during his "David Foster & Friends" concert earlier this year. Check out some of the highlights of the CD/DVD's tracklisting below:

Katharine McPhee

Celine Dion - "Because You Loved Me" (CD & DVD)

  • "Mornin'" (DVD)
  • "After The Love Has Gone" (DVD)
  • "Bridge Over Troubled Water (w/ Josh Groban)" (CD & DVD)

Celine Dion "My Love" Details

Another Celine Dion hits collection is set to be released on October 28th. The regular edition, entitled My Love: Essential Collection [cover art to the left], will include 15 of the singer's biggest hits as well as a live version of her song "My Love" & the previously unreleased track "There Comes A Time." An 'ultimate' edition will be a 2-disc set with nine additional tracks including the rarities "Dance With My Father," "(You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman," & "I Knew I Loved You." To view tracklistings for both versions as well as the slightly different cover art for the 'ultimate' edition, click HERE. While I basically find this latest compilation pointless, I'm sure they will make plenty of money off of it this holiday season.
