Celine Dion will peform on the “Dancing with the Stars” finale, it’s being announced.
The news was revealed inadvertently when “DWTS” dancer, Edtya Sliwinska (who was knocked out of the competition this week with partner, Cameron Mathison) let it slip that she had just come straight from a dance rehearsal for the performance. I immediately called her on it and she confirmed that Celine is booked.
“Yes. She is. It’s very exciting we are going to be dancing to one of her songs. It’s a beautiful song from ‘Titanic.’ It’s really really a treat for us and we are honored to have an opportunity to do that.”
The performance will cap off a busy week on ABC for Celine. This Sunday night she will perform on the “American Music Awards.” Then on Wednesday, Nov. 21 (1:00 - 2:00 PM, EST), Celine will appear on “All My Children” as a featured guest on Erica Kane’s (Susan Lucci) fictional talk show, “New Beginnings,” marking her first daytime drama appearance. She’ll sing the title track from her new CD, “Taking Chances.
Two days later she will be a guest on “The View” and perform “Taking Chances” and “Alone.” She also recently appeared on “Access Hollywood” and “Oprah.” All this is to promote her new CD “Taking Chances” which hit stores this week. Her year-long, 85-city, 5 continent World Tour kicks off February 14, 2008 in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Wow. That’s a lot of Celine.
