Living in Las Vegas, I’ve grown accustomed to pop superstar Celine Dion being Sin City’s longest-running resident diva.
A New Day, her first residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which ran from March 2003 to December 2007, is the most successful residency of all time grossing over $385 million. The 717 performances were attended by nearly 3 million people.
She took a break, but came back to Caesars Palace for a second residency, titled Celine, in March 2011.
That production will end on June 8, 2019, as she departs for her first North American tour in over a decade to support her upcoming new album, Courage.
To announce the news of the Courage World Tour, the 51-year-old singer enlisted some help from other Las Vegas ‘divas’ for a video.
In the clip, Celine is heading out of Sin City in a sixteen-wheeler with an Elvis impersonator marrying a couple, along with a senior still clicking away at a slot machine.
But when the big-rig truck breaks down, thankfully “Tina,” “Diana,” “Barbara” and a Celine queen look-a-like show up right in the nick of time.
Celine and her band climb into the queens’ vehicle, and the international recording artist is soon serenaded all the way to Los Angeles with a medley of her hits.
The video is cute, it’s kitschy, and a fitting ‘so long’ to Vegas.
The new album, Courage, is expected to drop sometime in November.
The Courage World Tour will launch on September 18 in Quebec City, and will play in over 50 cities through April 2020.

| Céline Dion in new ad for her new non-binary kids clothing line |
Céline Dion has collaborated with fashion brand NUNUNU to develop a gender neutral line of children’s clothing.
The concept is to allow children to find their own personal style rather than be boxed into a traditional pink vs blue mindset.
Asserting that “fashion builds concepts deep within our minds,” the company says the new line (titled, CELINUNUNU) “aims to free the forces of creativity and imagination in children, nurturing equality and flexibility of thought that enable kids to fully embrace who they are.”
And speaking of ‘embracing who they are,’ the new ad spot for the fashion line casts Celine as a badass binary-busting ninja.
In the video, we see the “My Heart Will Go On” singer enter what appears to be a gender-segregated maternity ward.
Celine provides voiceover narration for the spot:
Our children. They are not really our children. as we are all just links in a never-ending chain that is life. For us, they are everything. But in reality, we are only a fraction of their universe. We miss the past. They dream of tomorrow. We may thrust them forward into the future. But the course will always be theirs to choose.
Reaching into her bag, she finds black glitter confetti (of course) and blows it across the room transforming the ward into a gender-neutral space. The children are suddenly decked out in bold black and white, non-gendered fashions.
Celine explained to PEOPLE that the new line “lets children choose outside stereotypes and norms so they can bring from within their own tastes and preferences.”
“We help them feel free, creative, inspired, respectful of one another and happy in the world,” she adds.
With that in mind, the line offers ‘fashion-forward’ looks utilizing bold prints (alphabets, stars, plus signs) in a palette of black, white, yellow and denim. The plus sign represents equality.
Most of the clothing is priced between $50 and $100, although there is a $290 leather jacket available for your 3-year-old to grow out of in a few months.
Back in the maternity ward, though, security has shown up and our heroine attempts to escape. But, curses, she’s felled by a flying tackle.
In a last ditch effort, she attempts to play the celeb card as she’s cuffed and being taken away: “Guys, relax, easy – I’m Celine Dion.”
But, alas, to no avail. The cop replies, “Yeah, girl, and I’m Beyonce.”
Watch the ad spot below. You can check out the new non-binary children’s line on celinununu.com.
Pop superstar Celine Dion has recorded an original track, “Ashes,” for the upcoming Deadpool 2 soundtrack and it’s pretty much just what you’d want from the parties involved.
Celine sings her face off (no surprise there) and then, there’s Deadpool himself who feels so moved by the song that he contributes an interpretive dance in high heels to the music video.
Over a million views in just a few hours, this is pretty terrific.
Deadpool 2 hits theaters May 15.
I don’t know why, but this makes me smile.
Go, Celine, go.
