Celine competed for another new movie theme, but lost unfortunately. "Hero", a new movie directed by the famous Chinese movie director, Zhang Yi Mou, has been slated as the next big Chinese movie that could fare similar success as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Lots of the industry insiders has high hope on this movie, hoping it will break new grounds for the Chinese movie industry on the International stage. The rights of releasing this movie in DVD/VCD format in China alone is alreday a record breaking figure, $17 million, higher than any domestic or foreign movie DVD/VCD rights (for releasing in China) in history. For the music part, they have invited Tan Dun, the 2001 Oscar winner for "Best original score" for his works in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", to lend his talents on this film. Therefore, many singers wanted to be chosen to sing the theme song of this movie. News came out that even Celine has also voiced her interest in singing the theme song. However, they have now confirmed that the song will be sung by Faye Wong, the Chinese Pop Queen, who was born in Beijing and now bases in Hong Kong. She recently joined the Sony Music family, and this will be her first song with Sony. Reasons why they have chosen Faye over Celine because firstly, the movie director already has Faye on his mind when the project started, and secondly, they feel it's more suitable to have a Chinese singer singing the theme song than a Causasian singer, especially since the setting of the theme takes place in the ancient time. The music production took place in Australia.

It was in front of a fireplace, Celine found it very nice and convenient (even cozy). She again said, how happy she is now, how everything had changed in her life with Rene- Charles, how she treasures every moment of life, how much she needed this break etc. Pilgaard asked her, whether she was not happy before this time as she emphasizes on it so much? Celine answered, she was concentrating on her career too much, she had a wonderful career, but if she had a chance to re-live it again, she would probably not work so much. She was asked about "Goodbye": she was offered the song 3 years ago by Mutt Lange, but she did not feel strong enough to record it then, now she is still afraid of loosing her mother, but she is stronger to sing it now, and she thinks it is a song that everyone can sing to his/her mother, she also thinks that Rene-Charles could sing it to her one day. Celine was also shown some pictures of Frank Sinatra, the Pope, and Tina Turner. About Tina, she said: she is an amazing woman, she has incredible strength, inner beauty, she has worked so hard, she is a role model for her etc. --------------------------------------------------------------------- (Nov 24 2002 News) Now on Club Celine, you can download the full-length video of "Goodbye's (the saddest word)".

In other words, it is certain that they'll be there for 3 years, and perhaps will stay for 2 more years. (Nov 20 2002 News)

On this CNN page, you can find the transcript of the interview that Celine did on "American Morning with Paula Zahn". In this interview, Celine explains what Ronald McDonald House does and how her relatives have been helped by them. On this week's Radio & Records AC chart, "Goodbye's..." has slipped off from the Top 30 already aftering debuting at #25 last week. On the other hand, "At Last" is this week's most added song to the AC stations with 13 adds, with a total of 24 stations playing the song. ANDHC remains at #9 on the chart. Apparently, having two songs being added at the same time is doing more harm than good for each of the song in terms of chart performance.

Celine gave a surprise appearance on Oprah today! The theme of today's episode is "Harpo Hook-Up", hooking some lucky people up with other important people in order for them to realize their dream.

Sue said to her husband at the party that he will never be able top this surprise that she has done for him. Since then, Scott wrote emails to Oprah everyday telling her how wonderful Sue is as a wife and as a mother, and he hope that he can have a chance to say these on the Oprah show in front of millions of viewers, to let everybody knows how great Sue is. Finally, Oprah gave him this opportunity today. After he has done this, Oprah told the couple that there is another surprise hook-up for them. Oprah knows Celine is one of Sue's favourite performers, so she hook-up with Celine (via Satellite), who is currently in Florida participating in the World Children's Day event, to announce a surprise arrangement for the couple. Celine gave them tickets to her opening-night "A New Day..." concert, and invite them to meet her up after the show in her dressing room. Oprah then told Celine to please hook her up too cuz she really wants to be there too. Oprah said she has just watched "O" over the weekend and she was so fascinated with the show, and she is already planning with her friends to get there in Vegas to watch Celine's opening night.

Thanks Leila (Celiniana) for these pics! =) According to HMV Japan, an Australian version of "Goodbye's (the saddest word)" CD single will come out on November 22nd. And according to Sony Music Austria, the CD single will come out on Nov 4th in Austria. For Norwegian fans, according to the official site, Celine's ANDHC TV special will air on Oct 5th at 12:30am on NRK 1. Few months ago, there were some media reports stated that Celine will have another TV special on CBS in the fall/winter season, and the TV special will give us a taste on how the Vegas concert will be like. Till now, there are still no further info coming out, but let's hope it's still in the agenda. Not only in can help promote Celine's Vegas concert, hope that it'll also boost Celine's album sales in North America. This week in Canada, the album drops to #19 from #17, while the album drops to #69 from #58 in the US. With many big-name releases coming out in the fall/winter season such as Shania Twain, Faith Hill, and Jennifer Lopez (another SONY priority artist), the competition will be tough. And let's also hope that the next single "Goodbye's (the saddest word)" will shed some light on the album too, and can be the second ballad single to reach the top of the chart after Kelly Clarkson's "A moment like this". However, it will totally depend on whether Sony will release this single commercially, how well Top 40 radio stations will receive this song and how much hype they can build on this song such as with a very special video, live TV performances (which is quite unlikely due to Celine's rehearsal in Belgium). Releasing this song as a single is indeed a risky move under the circumstances that it's definitely not the type of songs that Top 40 radio stations like to spin nowadays. The up side that I can think of is this song could attract those ballad lovers who still haven't bought the album (which I believe there are still many) since the first two singles weren't ballads. Afterall, maybe the reason to release this single is simply because Celine wants to share this special song with all of the people who love their mother, and as a gift to her own mom, then all of the above worries are unnecessary. Sorry for another big piece of B/S. =) (Oct 2 2002 News) On WireImage, you can now find some more pics taken from the premiere of "Cindy". Celine appeared on "Operazione Trionfo", an Italian reality TV program, last night. I guess the program is something like an Italian version of the "Star Academy".

One clip of Celine singing MHWGO with a student called Mario, one clip of Celine singing MHWGO with another student named Cindy, and another clip of Celine singing All By Myself with the entire group. It's really nice to see how they've turned MHWGO into a duet. Also on Celiniana, you can also read an English description of the TV program, that was provided by Phil (Phil's Celine Site). On Celine Maniacs, you can also read another summary of the show in English written by Alfonso. It's a really interesting and entertaining program I must say. Now on Club Celine, you can find a video clip of the "Star Academy" participants working on a harmony with MHWGO. Celine herself will be visiting these students on Oct 5th, and she'll perform too. The show will broadcast live on TF1 from 8:45pm to 11:00pm. According to the official site, Celine and a lucky fan will be featured on the French television show "Stars a domicile" hosted by Flavie Flament this fall. After Celine suprises the fan, Celine will sit down for an intimate chat with the fan. The meeting will be broadcast in October on the French television network TF1. According to the official site, the 3rd single off the album will be "Goodbye's (The Saddest Word)". A video for the song will be shot in Europe in mid-October, and radio stations around the world will soon receive this song. This song was written and produced by Shania's husband, Robert John "Mutt" Lange, and featuring backing vocals by Shania herself too. With Shania having a new album coming out in November, I wonder if Celine and Shania will ever work together in some way on this song. Now on this LFI page, you can find few more pics of Celine taken at the premiere of Luc Plamondon's musical "Cindy" in Paris. And also on Club Celine, you can find few more screen caps from the premiere of "Cindy".

No wonder why I heard that melody in a Hong Kong TV program last year. On ClubCeline, you can find another picture that I believe was also taken in Paris, and it looks like it's a pic taken by a fan.

Celine has had quite a career & the proof is on the videotape! Thanks Scott (Celine Canada) for the info! =) The Power Of Love is up and running again. www.powerofceline.com is the new address. Here's an excerpt from this week's Billboard Chartbeat bonus: 'COME' NOT UNDONE: Lest there be any doubt, 2002 has the second-slowest turnover rate of No. 1 songs on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart since this tally was introduced in 1961. As of the week ending Aug. 10, only two titles have advanced to the top: "Simple Things" by Jim Brickman with Rebecca Lynn Howard and "A New Day Has Come" by Celine Dion. The former was No. 1 for one week, and the latter sets a new record by remaining on top for the 20th week in a row. That beats the 19-week reigns of "Because You Loved Me," also by Dion, and "You'll Be in My Heart" by Phil Collins. The only year with a slower turnover rate of No. 1 hits was 1996. During this same week -- Aug. 10, 1996 -- Eric Clapton's "Change the World" became the second song to march into pole position, succeeding Dion's then-record setting "Because You Loved Me." That year, the third song to become No. 1 didn't move to the top until the week of Nov. 9. On Epic's site, it has now listed one more Celine TV appearance in September. Aside from the Radio Music Awards appearance on Sept 18th, Celine is now also scheduled to appear on Larry King Live on Sept 11th. However, I have no idea whether it'll be a brand new interview, or a repeat of a past interview. Hungarian Celine Dion Site now has a new address, http://celinedion.freeweb.hu/ We should all be able to load this site probably with the new address! On this MSN page, we can watch a video footage on the preparation for Celine's Las Vegas show.

Celine and "A New Day Has Come" has set another record!! According to Queen Celine, the song has hold on to the top spot of Billboard's AC chart for another week, making it the longest running #1 on the chart (20 consecutive weeks). It's was a very close race with Josh's "To where you are" as we could see on yesterday's MediaBase result. On today's Mediabase early morning result, Josh takes the lead again with 2328 spins while Celine is at #2 with 2315 weeks. Now we'll have to see if Celine will take the lead again, and hold on to the #1 for another week on R&R's AC chart. Celine and both Rene are on the cover of the Gala magazine again. Thanks Estevam (Celine Fall) for the info! =) (July 31 2002 News) The site-owner of The Colour Of My Love would want to notice his visitors that due to an abrupt unfortunate matter, he is unable to update the site for a few days under his current condition.

And on this page, you can also listen to the interview Celine has given to the station. Thanks Estevam again! =) (July 29 2002 News) On Mediabase daily updated AC airplay chart, ANDHC finally moves away from the #1 spot today landing at #2, while Josh Groban's "To Where You Are" moves up to the #1 spot. But the race is still very close, and here are their spins: #1 Josh Groban-To Where You Are 2356 spins #2 Celine Dion-ANDHC 2342 spins #3 Five For Fighting-Superman... 2311 spins Many things can happen in the next few days, but if the position remains like this, then ANDHC will probably let go of the #1 spot on Billboard and R&R AC chart too. A bit more chart update for Poland: The album rises from #17 to #15, and "I'm Alive" rises 16 places to #14 on the single chart. On the airplay chart, "I'm Alive" also rises one spot to #10 this week.

On Canada's Hits (Airplay) chart, "I'm Alive" moves up 2 spots to #18 this week. On R&R AC chart, the song has also moved up to #11 from #14. However, it is still no where to be seen on R&R Hot AC or CHR/POP chart.

Thanks Estevam (Celine Fall) for the info! =) Here's an excerpt from this week's Billboard "Chart Beat Bonus": ANOTHER 'DAY': She might have planted the seeds of her own decline, as Celine Dion appeared on Oprah Winfrey's show recently to sing the praises of Josh Groban. Fortunately for Dion, that tribute wasn't enough to advance Groban's "To Where You Are" (143/Reprise) on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart, and it remains No. 2. That allows Dion's "A New Day Has Come" (Epic) to continue in pole position for the 19th week. That ties the all-time record set by a previous Dion song, "Because You Loved Me," and Phil Collins' "You'll Be in My Heart." If "Day" is still No. 1 next week, it will have the all-time record all to itself. (July 25 2002 News) Celine's on the cover of the 7 Jours magazine again. According to the headline, it looks like there is a grand Celine quiz inside to test how well you know about her. A side note, the guy on the left is Rene's son in law (Anne-Marrie's husband). The title says "To be dad for the 2nd time soon". So I guess Anne-Marrie is pregnant again, and Rene will soon be a grandfather for the 2nd time while Celine will be a step-grandmother for the 2nd time. Congrats! Thanks Estevam (Celine Fall) for the pic! =) Here's a larger size of the ANDHC songbook pic.

(July 19 2002 News) ANDHC has succeeded staying at the #1 position on both Billboard and R&R AC chart for another week. This should be its 18th consecutive week on the Billboard AC chart, and 16th or 17th consecutive week on R&R AC chart. If I remember it correctly, the song hit #1 on R&R AC chart one week after it hit #1 on Billboard AC chart, and in the 2nd or 3rd week, the song was bumped to the #2 spot for one week by "Hero". Right now the question is can ANDHC stay at the #1 position for 1 more week, to tie the record of longest running #1 song in Billboard's AC history with "You'll be in my heart" and "Because you loved me"? Looking at today's Mediabase daily updated airplay result, the chances are slim. On today's result, ANDHC is still #1 with 2428 spins in the past 7 days. However, it is only 16 spins ahead of the #2 song, Five For Fighting's "Superman", which had 2412 spins in the past 7 days. On the other hand, "I'm Alive" is continuing gaining airplays on AC chart. According to Mediabase, it is now at #12 with 1087 spins in the past 7 days. There are also already 100 AC stations playing the song. And according to R&R's result, 11 AC stations has added the song to their playlist last week. The ANDHC songbook has been released. You can order the book online at Chapters for ($29.95 CAN), Amazon for ($13.97 US), or Walmart for ($17.56 US).

"A New Day Has Come" is now tied for second place for the longest run at No. 1 on the AC chart. It is one of the five longest-running No. 1 songs in AC history.

At the benefit concert, they had an auction for (what turned out to be 2 sets of) 2 tickets to fly to Vegas on David's private jet, dinner with David and his wife and Paul Anka, and then front row seats and backstage passes for Celine's first show. Each of these packages went for.... $35,000. It was the highest valued auction item including some pretty impressive packages.

Here's an English translation provided by Phil (Phil's Celine Site): --------------------------------------------------------------------- The series of concerts that Céline Dion will be doing in Las Vegas for three years as from March is the cause of a lawsuit. The American group CEO inc. claims to have already had the idea of these series of concerts with the Star from Québec at Caesar's Palace. They then had decided against the idea after producing a business plan. The company CEO claims that it should have received a commission of 500000 US-Dollars from the business group which is producing the Las Vegas shows. The tickets for Céline Dion's shows are already available. The singer as well as her husband and manager, René Angélil, aren't affected by this civil lawsuit. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Phil for the info! =) Here's a list of UK TV appearances of Celine: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Greatest Hits (VH1 UK) Starting: 10:00 on Thursday 18th July.

ANDHC has stayed at the #1 spot the longest in Canada AC chart history. Here's a list of some of the longest-running No.1's in the history of the AC list. A New Day Has Come - Celine Dion (2002, 16 weeks) Shape Of My Heart - Backstreet Boys (2000-01, 14 weeks) There You'll Be - Faith Hill (2001, 14 weeks) Change The World - Eric Clapton (1996, 12 weeks) True Colours - Phil Collins (1998, 11 weeks) Because You Loved Me - Celine Dion (1996, 10 weeks) A side note, this week's Jam! chart talk column will be the last chart talk column written by Nanda Lwin. He will release his next book "Top Albums" across Canada and on the Internet in the summer. Here's an excerpt taken from the Billboard magazine: --------------------------------------------------------------------- THE LONGEST 'DAY': Only four songs have been No. 1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary chart longer than Celine Dion's "A New Day Has Come" (Epic), and one of them is by the artist herself. The first radio hit from Dion's album of the same name, "A New Day Has Come" is on top of the AC tally for a 14th week. Here is the quartet of hits that have been No. 1 longer than 14 weeks: "You'll Be in My Heart," Phil Collins (19 weeks) 1999 "Because You Loved Me," Celine Dion (19 weeks) 1996 "I Knew I Loved You," Savage Garden (17 weeks) 1999 "Breathe," Faith Hill (17 weeks) 2000 In 1996, Toni Braxton's "Un-Break My Heart" also had a 14-week run. If "A New Day Has Come" is still in pole position next week, it will be in fifth place by itself. "A New Day Has Come" is the longest-running AC No. 1 since Hill's "Breathe" in 2000. "A New Day Has Come" is the fourth Dion title to rule the AC chart for 10 weeks or more. That's more than any other artist. Aside from "Because You Loved Me," the others songs to have double-digit reigns are "I'm Your Angel" with R. Kelly, which was No. 1 for 12 weeks in 1998-99; and "My Heart Will Go On," which had a titanic 10-week run in 1997. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks Kervin for the info! =) (June 24 2002 News) The "I'm Alive" video has already been aired today on VH1!!!

This week, it has been replaced by Goo Goo Dolls' "Here Is Gone". Here's another excerpt from the column about Celine's albums chart performance: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outselling the competition for another seven days, "A New Day Has Come" holds at No. 1 on the SoundScan album chart for the seventh straight week. That marks Celine Dion's longest run at No. 1 ever beating the six-week reign of "The Colour Of My Love" - Dion's first chart-topping disc - in 1994. Surprisingly, the Quebec superstar's other five No. 1's only spent a week or two at the top. Her second No. 1 album "Falling Into You" spent eight months on the chart until it gained the No. 1 position for one week in December 1996. "Let's Talk About Love" spent two weeks at the pinnacle a year later in December 1997; her only chart-topping French-language disc "S'il Suffisait D'Aimer" and the Christmas set "These Are Special Times" were No. 1 for one and two weeks, respectively in 1998. Her greatest hits collection "All The Way...A Decade Of Song" also spent a sole week on top in December 1999. And even though Dion has never broke the 10-week barrier by herself, it is noteworthy to recognize the 11-week run of the "Titanic" soundtrack (1998), whose sales were buoyed by her single "My Heart Will Go On." -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reminder: Celine will be on CNN's People In the News tomorrow. For Canadian fans, according to Sony Music Canada, MuchMoreMusic will broadcast Divas Las Vegas on June 9th (Sunday) at 9:00pm ET. Celine performed on the Today show today!

She sang something like "loves...gonna fall" but it's the kind of mistake that people wouldn't really notice. Anyway, it was great! When she sang "I'm Alive", Celine also said "New York, we're alive!" in between. Btw, Celine had another outfit on when she sat down with the host earlier.

She also said that she already told the teachers in the school R.C has registered that she will be going to school with him. Rosie then said when she took her son Parker to school on the first day, Parker was the one who told her to leave him alone at school. Celine also said that R.C goes to bed at 11:00pm and wakes up at 11:00am (12 hours a day) everyday, so Celine often has to wait for him. Celine will be on Rosie today.

A video file will be available soon too. Thanks Phil for the info1 =) On this Hola page, there's an article on Celine about her visit in Spain. Thanks Estevam (Celine Fall) for the info! =) A trade ad of Celine in Hits. Found it on Ebay. Celine will remain at #2 on this week's Billboard album chart, because according to the sales figures released by Sound Scan, Celine sold 225,6000 copies while Ashanti sold 246,000 copies. The figures that were put up here yesterday were compiled by Hits, and their sales figures are always a little bit different from the Sound Scan figures but the position are usually the same. Take last week's result as an example, Hits under-reported Celine's sales by 14,000 (248,000 vs. Soundscan's 262,000) copies and over-reported Ashanti by 1,000 copies. Billboard uses the figures released by Sound Scan instead of Hits, therefore, Hits figures are always a good source to predict the position on the upcoming Billboard album chart. Unfortunately, the sales figures are so close this week and the differences between Hits and Sound Scan do affect the position also. In Canada on the other hand, Celine will remain at #1 this week with 44,500 copies sold. You can see the sales of the Top 10 albums in Canada here. According to this article, Celine will sing a spanish song at the Latin Billboard Music Award. Thanks Phil (Phil's Celine Site) for the info! =) A reminder for German fans, Celine will be on Stern TV today. (April 16 2002 News) One more pic!
