Celine Dion has bought a sandwich shop.
The 'My Heart Will Go On' singer and her husband Rene Angelil are now the proud owners of Montreal's famous Schwartz's store, which was founded in 1928.
The shop has become a landmark for locals and tourists alike and as well as its amazing sandwiches, it is also famed for its timeless decor.
Rene said: 'I have so many great memories of being there with the guys, and with Celine and our families throughout the years. It's the most unique restaurant in the world and we're thrilled to be a part of it.'
The Canadian couple - who have three children together - have also partnered with a chain of 1950s diners in Montreal.
They hope to maintain the authenticity of the restaurants and only make necessary improvements.
Celine - who has sold millions of albums worldwide - recently said she felt fortunate to be in such a position to be able to make purchases like this.
She said: 'My fans bought me my house. They bought my records ... I'm very fortunate, and people have bought my albums year after year, and they come to see the shows, and it's expensive, and they still come.'
We are sorry to announce that Céline Dion will not be part of the variety of Star Academy on March 25. Following a consultation with her physician who found a virus causing weakness of the right vocal cord, Celine Dion was prescribed rest for the next few weeks. All Star Academy team would like to wish a speedy recovery to Céline Dion.
"Celine is still experiencing difficulties with her vocal chords and after seeking further medical advice, she was diagnosed with weakness in her right vocal chord and prescribed 6-8 weeks of voice-rest."
"I tried to sing at my sound-check last week, and I had no control of my voice whatsoever," said Celine. “We thought that after a few days rest I would improve but it wasn't getting any better....I guess it was worse than I thought. I'm fortunate that I was able to see Professor Berke. He identified what was causing the problems I was having, and he assured me that with the amount of rest he prescribed, I would be back to 100%. Obviously this is the worst thing for a singer....not being able to do your shows. I feel worse knowing that I'm disappointing my fans. I'm so sorry.....I hope they forgive me." - Celine Dion
Today, designer Randy McLaughlin is showcasing the world-famous Hollywood Graffiti Gown, which contains the signature of over 350 of the most influential female stars in the world, including Celine, at the D Gallery in Lake Arrowhead, California. The gown is set to go on tour before being auctioned off and a 100% of the proceeds will be donated to benefit AIDS research. Wonder where Celine’s signature is?
"I feel terrible about not being able to do these shows," . "I feel so bad for the fans. I don't like to let people down. ... It's the thing that bothers me more than anything. I really hope everyone understands how sorry I am." - Céline Dion
Celine cancelled the show last night. She's still sick.
After a well-deserved break, Celine is back on stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace tonight to kick off her next series of shows.
Apparently, the album has been delayed until summer. The album will
feature studio versions of the songs from the Vegas show and some new
songs, then, in autumn of 2013, we'll get a full new album, made by new
songs.
A special edition of Good Morning America this morning -- inside Whitney Houston's final hours. We'll hear from the singer who was by her side for her final song and talk to some of the people who knew her best from Smokey Robinson to Celine Dion.
Celine Dion talks about Whitney Houston's death:"When I started my career, I wanted to be like her. I loved her so much. My prayers go out to her daughter and to all of her family."
Dying--you wouldn't do that to a cat.
For what is a cat to do
in an empty apartment?
Climb up the walls?
Brush up against the furniture?
Nothing here seems changed,
and yet something has changed.
Nothing has been moved,
and yet there's more room.
And in the evenings the lamp is not on.
One hears footsteps on the stairs,
but they're not the same.
Neither is the hand
that puts a fish on the plate.
Something here isn't starting
at its usual time.
Something here isn't happening
as it should.
Somebody has been here and has been,
and then has suddenly disappeared
and now is stubbornly absent.
All the closets have been scanned
and all the shelves run through.
Slipping under the carpet and checking came to nothing.
The rule has even been broken and all the papers scattered.
What else is there to do?
Sleep and wait.
Just let him come back,
let him show up.
Then he'll find out
that you don't do that to a cat.
Going toward him
faking reluctance,
slowly,
on very offended paws.
And no jumping, purring at first.
