Celine's "My Heart Will Go On" was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Song, from the movie "Titanic."
Celine described her new album as "a dream of a lifetime" on E! News today, December 28th.
Celine speaks of her reaction to "Titanic" at CelineOnline.com.
Several commercials have been made regarding Celine's new album. Blockbuster Music shows Celine singing "My Heart Will
Go On," and Best Buy, the successful chain of electronic stores, shows a man who has been walking for quite some time in the
snow to get to a music store so that he might buy the album. He enters the store shivering, and in a quaking voice asks the man
at the counter if he has the Celine Dion CD. The clerk replies with a very straight-faced "no," and then the commercial says
that Best Buy has the CD. **Special thanks to Lindsay C. for this info!!**


Here is some information I received via e-mail about Celine's upcoming biographies.... On Julie Snyder's Le Poing J , they
announced the release date for the official Celine biography; NOVEMBER 14 We were read 3 bits of the book. The first one
on how nervous she was when she did her first television appearance in 1981. She was desperately looking for wood to touch
before she went on stage, she finally found some on the smoking pipe of one of the other guest on the show she was
performing for the first time. The second bit was on Celine's first encounter with alcohol. She went out for her musicians one
night, they suggested tequila....one glass came and went, then a second...and a third. Her musicians told her she might want to
consider stopping but.... Miss Celine told them she never left things half done! And she went on and on with her drinking. She
woke up the next day in terrific shape. She hasn't had a drink since, except a glass of red wine here and there. The third and
last part read it is confirmed that Celine was deeply in love with René at 17. Even when Eddy Marnay wrote the song "C'est
pour toi", he knew how Celine loved her manager. The cover of the book is the picture from the Lets Talk About Love cd. On
October 30 on Le poing J, there will be parts of the press conference given by Celine earlier in the day. Also, on Salut
Bonjour starting monday, more bits of the book will be read every morning In that third excerpt that was read yesterday, it
was mentioned that Celine was so in love with Rene that she wanted to *give herself* to him a the age of l7 but, Rene
refused...he told her that he had to stay *wise* (sage). Celine was afraid to lose him forever so she decided to stay wise also.
The cover of the book mentioned above features the picture from Celine's new album, and the well-known Celine signature
logo. The book is 600 pages long!!!!


It is the official authorized biography of Celine by Georges-Hebert Germain (Quebec journalist). The title is "Celine" (677
pages - 40 pages of photos), and it will be in store in Quebec on Nov. l4th. It is certain that it will be translated in English and
in the US probably in a couple of months. The author said on TV that we will discover a soul that we don't really know.
In Celine's recent press conference, she was asked about the collaborations on her new CD and we learned that when the Bee
Geese recorded the song with Celine, Barry was crying. Also, Celine and Rene were invited to dinner at Barbara's home and
Celine was so funny mimicking how star-struck she was all night long. She said that she would love to be at Barbara's
wedding. She also said that working with Pavarotti was incredible...that his voice is so powerful. She and Rene also were
invited by Luciano to have dinner at his apartment. He cooked some pasta for them. Apparently her favorite song of the album is The reason with Carole King. All in all she said that this is a dream album...the best of her life and she does not know if she will be able to do better than that.

One single already released, "Tell Him" features Barbara Streisand, who Celine recently called her "idol."
