Celine Dion is NOT performing at Rene Angelil’s funeral, despite a fabricated report. Gossip Cop can exclusively debunk the claim. A rep for Dion confirms to us she has no plans to sing at the mournful event.

Not surprisingly, the allegation comes from the fabrication factory known as HollywoodLife. Apparently not even a tragic death is enough to stop the disreputable webloid from spreading false information. In this poorly-reported piece (if the site even bothered to do any reporting at all and didn’t just make it all up), it’s claimed, “Celine plans to declare her love for Rene once more at his funeral with a touching performance dedicated to him and their life together.”

A so-called “source” is quoted as saying, “She wants to honor her husband in song and is looking to perform at his funeral.” The story goes on, “Although it is still unclear what song she would sing, sources are speculating that she may perform her love ballad, ‘Because You Loved Me.’ What a perfect, yet heartbreaking choice that would be.”

What’s really heartbreaking here is that HollywoodLies is running a facts-free allegation about a grieving widow. Dion, who lost her brother just two days after Angelil’s passing, and her family have enough to deal with right now without the added nuisance of a bad blog sparking wrong rumors. A rep for the superstar exclusively tells Gossip Cop, “Celine is not performing at the funeral nor was she ever thinking of it.”

What’s more, Gossip Cop also spoke to an insider close to Dion, who further tells us the claim is “totally made up.” “She’s grieving,” our source rightfully points out, expressing disgust with HollywoodLife for its fake “exclusive.” Snipes our contact, “What do they think this is, a concert? Come on!”

As Gossip Cop previously reported, Dion is planning to have a separate tribute held in Angelil’s honor next month at an appropriate place and time. The “Celebration Of Life,” to be held at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, is scheduled for February 3. Angelil’s funeral will be held this Friday at Notre Dame Basilica in Montreal, the same church where he and Dion wed. Gossip Cop will continue to have coverage as appropriate.

One last thing: In addition to publishing 100 percent inaccurate information about the funeral, HollywoodLife also had the gall to include a partner link to Amazon encouraging readers to listen to Dion’s music, knowing it would get paid for each click. The outlet, which scrambled to change its story after catching wind of our exclusive bust, is truly the lowest of the low.

Celine Dion and hundreds of mourners have gathered at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal to pay respects to Rene Angelil, the singer’s late husband who sadly died of throat cancer last week. The public memorial and open casket visitation is currently being held in his honor. Watch a live stream below.

As Gossip Cop reported, Angelil passed away at his and Dion’s Las Vegas home last Thursday following a lengthy battle with throat cancer, which he was first diagnosed with in 1998. Angelil’s health seemed to improve in the years following, but the disease returned in late 2014.

The Montreal cathedral where Angelil’s viewing is taking place is the same church where he and Dion were married 21 years ago. The singer, wearing a black veil and a black coat, has been greeting fans as they grieve for Angelil alongside her. On Friday, a private funeral for friends and family will be held at the Notre-Dame Basilica.

As Gossip Cop has also noted, Dion will hold a tribute concert in Angelil’s memory at the Caesars Palace Colosseum in Las Vegas on February 3. The event is being dubbed a “Celebration of Life.” Angelil is survived by his and Dion’s three children, Rene-Charles, 14, and 5-year-old twin boys Nelson and Eddy, as well as his three older children from previous marriages. Watch a live stream of Angelil’s public memorial below.

Rene Angelil’s funeral is being held at 3 p.m at Notre-Dame Basilica in Montreal, and Gossip Cop has a live stream of the ceremony where Celine Dion will honor her late husband along with hundreds of other attendees. Watch below.

As Gossip Cop reported, Dion’s husband sadly died last week following a long battle with throat cancer. On Thursday, there was a public memorial service where fans were invited to pay respects to the late music manager. The open casket visitation was also available for fans to watch online.

Friday’s funeral is a private ceremony for friends and family only, however Dion is also making the service available for fans to watch online. Earlier, her team tweeted a link to the live stream, along with the caption, “From anywhere across the globe, it will be possible to follow Rene Angelil’s state funeral.”

Dion will not be performing at the ceremony, despite a phony report that was tastelessly manufactured by HollywoodLife earlier this week. Gossip Cop exclusively debunked the webloid’s rumor that Dion planned to sing at the solemn event after. Her rep assured us, “Celine is not performing at the funeral nor was she ever thinking of it.”

Celine Dion is breaking her silence on the death of her husband, Rene Angelil.

As Gossip Cop reported, Angelil died on January 14 after a lengthy battle with cancer. A funeral service, which was live streamed for fans around the world to watch online, took place last Friday (see photo right). Now one week later, Dion is speaking out publicly for the first time.

The superstar says in a statement posted on her official website, “My family and I are deeply touched by the outpouring of love and support from so many people who have touched our lives during these past few days. We have felt your love for René, and your prayers and compassion have helped us during this most difficult time… more than you’ll ever know. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

“I would also like to sincerely thank the Quebec Government for honoring René with National Funerals as well as the many individuals and organizations who came together to hold such a beautiful tribute in his name,” continues Dion. “We will never forget all of the kindness that you have bestowed upon us.”

Dion signs the note on behalf of her family, including her sons with Angelil (Charles and twins Nelson and Eddy) and the late music manager’s adult children. The singer is expected to partake in a tribute concert to Angelil at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas next week.

Angelina Jolie is NOT planning on making a movie biopic about Celine Dion, despite a made-up tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this claim. We’re told there’s “no truth” to it.

According to Star, Jolie believes Dion would make a great subject for a film, and hopes to tell the singer’s life story. A so-called “source” claims in the tabloid, “Angie says the story practically writes itself, from Celine’s childhood singing in dive bars to meeting her future husband, Rene Angelil, when she was 12 and then going on to date him as soon as she was of legal age.”

The tabloid further alleges Jolie is giving Dion time to mourn the recent deaths of her husband, Rene, and brother, Daniel, before making the supposed movie. The magazine’s questionable insider adds, “Celine knows Angie would love to work with her. It’s only a matter of time before they come together and make the film.”

Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to Jolie, who exclusively tells us there’s “no truth” to the tabloid’s claim that the actress wants to make a movie about Dion. Jolie is always circling many film projects, but Dion’s life story simply isn’t one of them. And a rep for Dion tells Gossip Cop she “never heard” of the proposed project.

Of course, Gossip Cop isn’t surprised by the tabloid’s phony tale, considering that we’ve repeatedly had to correct Star for making up stories about Jolie. We recently busted the magazine for wrongly claiming the actress forces her staff to watch her movies and then demands they give her positive feedback. Shortly before that, Gossip Cop corrected the tabloid’s false cover story that alleged Jolie gave Brad Pitt a “divorce ultimatum.” The magazine’s latest claim about Jolie’s nonexistent plans for a Celine Dion movie is similarly false.

Celine Dion’s late husband Rene Angelil will be remembered on Wednesday at a “Celebration of Life” in Las Vegas. Like with the music manager’s funeral, Dion has opted to make a live stream available for fans around the world to view the tribute. Watch below.

As Gossip Cop reported, Angelil, 73, died on January 14 after a lengthy battle with cancer. A public viewing was held on January 21, with a funeral the following day, January 22. There, the couple’s eldest son, Rene-Charles, gave a touching eulogy in honor of his father.

Dion broke her own silence last week, releasing a statement on behalf of her kids, including twins Nelson and Eddy, and Angelil’s adult children, thanking fans for support. Now, for the first time since his passing, Dion will return to the stage at The Colosseum at Caesar’s Palace, where she does her residency. This time, however, the superstar will not be singing.

Instead, she will close the memorial by being the evening’s final speaker. Those taking part also include legendary producers David Foster and Ken Ehrlich. Between speakers will be musical interludes. Foster will be among those performing.

A “Celebration Of Life” is scheduled to begin at approximately 10 p.m. Eastern Time, when it’s 7 in Las Vegas. Watch the live stream below.

Celine Dion spoke about late husband Rene Angelil for the first time at his “Celebration Of Life” ceremony on Wednesday night at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. See the video below of the singer’s touching and emotional tribute speech about Angelil, who she said “loved life” and “never hated anyone.”

As Gossip Cop reported, Angelil died on January 14 at the age of 73 after a lengthy battle with cancer. On January 21, a public viewing was held in Montreal, where fans of the late music manager could honor his memory. The following day, there was a private funeral for friends and family at the Notre Dame Basilica, where the two had wed in 1994.

On Wednesday, Angelil was remembered on the same stage where Dion performs her Las Vegas show. “Let me start by saying, good evening good friends,” the singer began. “Rene, the love of my life, would be so happy to know we are here together. I feel his love in this room.”

Dion continued, “I feel his strength and his warmth being reflected in all of you. Rene always surrounded me with the best people who believed in us and always worked so hard on our behalf.” She then praised her late husband as a man who “never hated anyone,” asking the audience, “Is it possible someone loves everybody? I don’t think so. But he never told me a person he disliked… He loved life so very much.”

The singer fought to hold back tears during her nearly 20-minute speech, and concluded by saying, “On behalf of my family, thank you again for being here for this beautiful tribute of mon amour, Rene, I love you so much. Merci. Goodnight.” Watch Dion’s touching tribute below, which begins at around the 2 hour and 8 minute mark.

Celine Dion will return to her Las Vegas residency on Tuesday for her first concert since husband Rene Angelil’s death, and Gossip Cop has a live stream. Watch below.

As Gossip Cop has reported, Angelil died on January 14 at age 73 after a long battle with cancer. Dion immediately postponed her upcoming concerts. Tragically, just two days later, Dion suffered a second loss when her brother Daniel also died of cancer.

Before Angelil’s funeral, Gossip Cop exclusively debunked a report falsely claiming she was planning to perform at the service. It was neither the time nor the place. Dion, however, returned to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, the site of her residency, earlier this month.

A special tribute, called a “Celebration of Life,” was held in Angelil’s honor. Again, Dion did not sing, although she sat on stage for the duration of the event and gave a moving speech. Instead, there were musical interludes and a performance by David Foster.

Now Dion will publicly sing her first note since her heartbreaking loss. The superstar’s stage show was heavily conceived by her late husband, who served as her manager until his illness forced him to step down. In his honor, Dion’s concert tonight is expected to start with a 10-minute tribute.

It’s unclear if any other portions of the show have been changed, but it will no doubt be an emotional evening. The live stream is slated to begin at 10:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Watch below.

Celine Dion opened up about the heartbreaking death of Rene Angelil in an interview broadcast on Wednesday’s “Good Morning America.” Watch below.

As Gossip Cop has reported, Angelil died of throat cancer in January at age 73. In addition to adult children, he also left behind his three sons with Dion. And just days later, the superstar also lost her brother.

While Dion spoke about the tragic events at a Las Vegas “celebration of life” ceremony in February, the “GMA” interview marked her first time discussing it all on TV. Speaking to Deborah Roberts on her Vegas concert stage, the singer said of her husband’s health battle, “I saw him suffer. And that is worst. Today for me, I don’t wanna say that it’s not as hard. It’s a different kind of hard. Today for me, it’s like I don’t live with him physically, but I live with him inside of me.”

Dion noted her brother passed on Angelil’s birthday, and said she believes, “For his birthday, my husband came and got my brother, because my brother was too weak to fly on his own.” And while she feels Angelil is still guiding her, she admittedly wonders, “Am I going to have signs all the time? Or do I have to make decisions as a woman, as a mother, as artist?”

Roberts asked Dion if she’s “ready for that.” “Do I have a choice?” she responded, seemingly fighting back tears. “You’re never ready for something like this to happen. Even though you expect it, when it happens, you’re not prepared.” Still, Dion says, “I am at peace.”

Additional parts of Dion’s interview will air on “Nightline,” and she is also the cover story interview for this week’s People magazine. And on Sunday, she’ll perform “The Show Must Go On” at the Billboard Music Awards. Check out the videos below.

Celine Dion gave a powerful and emotional performance of “The Show Must Go On” at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday. Watch below.

“The Show Must Go On” was recorded in 1990 by Queen as Freddie Mercury became increasingly debilitated from AIDS. Dion started covering the song back in 2008 as a tribute to the late front man, but the track would go on to take new meaning for her as husband Rene Angelil battled cancer. Throughout his troubles, the music manager would continually insist to his superstar wife that “the show must go on.”

She incorporated the track into her Las Vegas residency last year, but never made an official studio recording until after Angelil’s death earlier this year. Featuring violin accompaniment from Lindsey Stirling, the song was released as a digital single this past Friday. It’s unclear if it will also appear on a future album.

Stirling now joined Dion for the BBMAs performance, which marks Dion’s first time performing on TV since Angelil’s passing. And in addition to taking the stage to sing, she was also honored with the Billboard Icon Award. Previous recipients include Jennifer Lopez (2014) and the late Prince (2013). Seal presented the award, and son Rene-Charles surprised his mother by bringing her the trophy.

Check out full video of Dion’s new “The Show Must Go On” performance below, as well as her emotional Icon Award speech.

Celine Dion is not dating guitarist Kevin Girouard, despite a new tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the claim. We’re told it’s “100 percent not true.”

According to a National Enquirer story, picked up by its equally discredited sister site RadarOnline, Dion has fallen for “young stud” guitarist Kevin Girouard, who was “handpicked by her late husband” Rene Angelil. The supermarket tabloid claims Angelil “managed every aspect of her career, including finding his own replacement for his beloved widow.” A so-called “eyewitness” tells the magazine that during Dion’s performance at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas on May 17, “Kevin couldn’t take his eyes off Celine.” The mistaken “onlooker” alleges that Dion, in a tiny dress, was “definitely enjoying the attention,” and adds, “It was wonderful to see her looking so happy.”

The tabloid notes Girouard is now “permanently rooted in Las Vegas, where Dion lives full-time,” and claims an “insider” says “the two have developed a deep bond over their love of music.” The magazine then wrongly reports, “She continues to mourn Angelil, who managed her career since she was only 12 years old, but the spark between Dion and Girouard is undeniable.” The publication’s specious “insider” claims that because Angelil was ill for a long time, Dion thought a lot about “what life was going to be like for her when he was gone,” and is now “enjoying having someone young and energetic like Kevin around.” “She lights up when he’s in the room,” concludes the outlet’s questionable source.

Gossip Cop looked into the claim, and Dion is not dating Girouard. A source close to the singer exclusively tells us the claim is “100 percent not true.” Among the inaccuracies, we’re told, is that Angelil did not hire him Girouard. Dion’s new manager “Aldo hired him.” What’s more, says Gossip Cop impeccable source, Dion “only sees the band during shows, never during off time. Never has.”

We’re not entirely surprised the Enquirer got this wrong. Back in 2013, the tabloid reported Dion “ditched her [wedding] ring,” and was “unhappy” in her marriage. The reality is the magazine manufactured that entire story about marital strife, based on the singer not wearing her ring. But the truth is Dion never wears his ring while performing.

Celine Dion is NOT on the verge of an “emotional breakdown,” despite a report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the story, which is as insensitive as it is inaccurate.

On Tuesday, RadarOnline headlined a gallery of random photos showing Dion looking upset, “Grief Stricken Celine Dion Nearing ‘Emotional Breakdown’ After Husband Death.” The superstar no doubt had a heartbreaking few months earlier this year. But it’s said she’s now “on the verge of emotional collapse.” A so-called “source” describes her as often being “in a flood of tears.”

“Friends told Radar that Dion is staggering behind the scenes,” writes the site, which says the singer has been “brought to her knees.” She’s also described as looking “gaunt and weak.” The supposed “source from her inner circle” adds, “Everyone is praying that she’ll be OK, but we’re all concerned.” And another “close family friend” is quoted as saying, “She’s struggling to survive every day.”

Let Gossip Cop be perfectly clear: It’s highly unlikely any “close family friend” or member of Dion’s “inner circle” would be talking to RadarOnline. It was just a month ago that the webloid and its sister outlet the National Enquirer were falsely claiming Dion had happily moved on with her life and was dating guitarist Kevin Girouard.

Funny how that isn’t mentioned anywhere in this new “breakdown” piece. It’s also worth noting that this “weak and gaunt” angle comes just one day after Dion dazzled in the front row at Paris Fashion Week (see photo above). In fact, she’s been in Paris vacationing and working for the last month.

A rep for Dion exclusively tells Gossip Cop these “emotional collapse” allegations are “not true at all.” It’s also particularly shameful of RadarOnline to run them given all that the star has been through this year. Baseless claims designed to capitalize on her tragedy shouldn’t be making it worse.

Celine Dion is live streaming part of her Paris concert on Saturday. Watch below!

On Friday, the superstar’s team announced, “For her final concert in Paris, Celine will sing 4 songs LIVE on her Facebook page on July 9, 8:45 p.m. (Paris Time). Don’t miss this unique opportunity to enjoy the concert as if you were at the AccorHotels Arena in Paris! After a European tour that began with two concerts in Antwerp and then nine in Paris, Celine will be on her way to Montreal, Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres.”

As Gossip Cop has reported, Dion has actually been in France for the past month. Earlier this week, RadarOnline ran an insensitive and false story claiming the singer was on the verge of a breakdown as she continues to come to terms with the deaths of her husband and brother. The report ignored that Dion has happily been performing, and she also dazzled at several Paris Fashion Week shows.

The star even caused a stir, in a good way, when she stepped out wearing a Titanic-inspired sweatshirt. There’s no denying this has been a trying year for Dion, but her spirits remain high. And fans will get to see that for themselves during the live stream, which is slated to begin at 2:45 p.m. Eastern Time. Watch below!

Celine Dion is still NOT on the verge of an “emotional collapse,” despite a report that’s both late and wrong. Gossip Cop can once again bust this false claim.

According to the National Enquirer, the singer has been falling apart in the months following the deaths of her husband, Rene Angelil, and her brother, Daniel. A so-called “source” tells the tabloid that Dion is only pretending to be strong for the sake of her children, but is supposedly in “a flood of tears behind closed doors.” The magazine’s supposed insider adds, “Everyone is praying that she’ll be ok, but we’re all concerned.”

Gossip Cop, however, already corrected the Enquirer’s sister outlet, RadarOnline, for making this same exact bogus claim. The webloid previously ran with the headline: “Grief Stricken Celine Dion Nearing ‘Emotional Breakdown’ After Husband Death,” and made similar allegations about the singer allegedly “staggering behind the scenes,” and “struggling to survive every day.” But Gossip Cop was exclusively told by a rep for Dion that the “emotional collapse” claims were “not true at all.”

In fact, the singer has spent the past month working and vacationing in Paris. Dion is undoubtedly having a difficult year in the wake of the tragedies she’s faced, but she’s doing her best to cope and grieve in a healthy manner. The tabloid’s new baseless report about Dion’s nonexistent breakdown is simply no more accurate than it was the first time Gossip Cop busted it. Now, it’s just late and wrong.

Celine Dion put on an outstanding concert for the “Today” show on Friday. Check out the videos below!

The superstar was the latest artist to take the stage at Rockefeller Plaza, just outside the morning show’s studio in Manhattan. With her powerhouse voice, Dion had the crowd mesmerized. Her set included “Because You Loved Me” and “A New Day Has Come.”

Dion’s concert came just hours after she was a guest and performer on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.” And that appearance came on the same day U.S. pre-sales began for her new French album, Encore Un Soir. The record will officially drop on August 26.

It will be the first album Dion has released since the death of her husband and longtime manager, Rene Angelil, who died earlier this year. In his memory, the singer has taken a “the show must go on” approach to her career. She’s performed at the Billboard Music Awards, toured in Europe, and hit up Paris Fashion Week. Dion will also return to her Las Vegas residency this fall, and has plans to record a new English-language album.

And she just raised the bar at the “Today” show, where summer concerts have been going on since May. Next up is Jimmy Buffett. Gossip Cop will have full videos of Dion’s performance shortly, so check back soon!

(Today Show)

Celine Dion and Kathie Lee Gifford cried together over their husbands’ deaths on Friday’s “Today.” See video below.

As Gossip Cop reported, Dion was at the “Today” show to perform an outdoor concert. But she also co-hosted the morning show’s fourth hour, sitting in for Hoda Kotb. And during the appearance, Dion and Gifford both spoke candidly about losing their husbands, Rene Angelil and Frank Gifford, in the last year.

Gifford commended Dion for returning to the stage at the Billboard Music Awards in May, telling the superstar, “You gave strength to everybody. Because you’re strong, we can all be strong.” The TV personality became increasingly emotional as Dion spoke about finding “the best man in the world” as her husband, “like you did for yourself.” She noted, “We were both extremely lucky.”

There was actually a light-hearted moment, though, when a tissue box dropped down from the ceiling above to aid the crying Gifford. Dion was amusingly stunned, and exclaimed, “Oh my god, I want one like that!” But the spiritual singer also found serious meaning in it, too.

“You got the Kleenex from heaven,” Dion told Gifford. Always quick with a joke, though, the host replied, “You’re a really strange person.” And with that, Dion took a sip of wine. Check out the moving video below.

Celine Dion performed her iconic song “My Heart Will Go On” for Thursday’s live finale of “Greatest Hits.” Watch the video below!

Kelsea Ballerini and Arsenio Hall have hosted ABC’s summer music series for the last six weeks, helping to pay tribute to the biggest hits from the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s. The prior episodes of the show have featured famous musicians celebrating the best tracks from a particular five-year period. Now the two-hour finale brought it all together by highlighting songs that came out any time between 1980 and 2005.

“My Heart Will Go On,” of course, was the theme to the 1997 smash hit film Titanic, and earned Dion an Oscar for Best Original Song. The superstar now sang the ballad for the “Greatest Hits” finale via satellite from her concert in Montreal, where she dedicated the performance to late husband Rene Angelil. There were also plenty of in-person performances in Los Angeles, where the final episode was taking place.

Adam Lambert took on George Michael’s “Faith,” Ariana Grande paid tribute to Whitney Houston, and John Legend covered Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing).” Nelly performed “Ride wit Me” and “Hot in Herre,” and Smash Mouth and Hunter Hayes rocked out to “All Star.” Ballerini and Sheryl Crowe also collaborated on “All I Wanna Do.”

Additional artists who participated in the finale included New Edition, Richard Marx, Colin Hay, Flo Rida, and En Vogue. Check out full video of Dion’s “Greatest Hits” performance of “My Heart Will Go On” below!

Celine Dion performed her new song “Recovering” during the 2016 Stand Up To Cancer benefit on Friday night. Watch the video below.

The celebrity fundraiser aired live from the Walt Disney Concert Hall in Los Angeles, where dozens of A-list stars gathered to raise money for cancer research. The hour-long, commercial-free telecast featured several musical performances and special guests, but Dion’s emotional tribute to her late husband, Rene Angelil, was one of the night’s bittersweet highlights.

As Gossip Cop reported, Angelil died in January following a lengthy battle with throat cancer. Just two days later, Dion’s brother Daniel tragically passed away from a combination of brain, throat and tongue cancer. “Recovering,” which was written specifically for Dion by fellow singer Pink, will be included on Dion’s upcoming album. The track features such lyrics as, “Little by little, day by day/One step at a time/Shake off the devil/Take back my piece of mind/I am recovering.”

In addition to Dion’s performance, the Stand Up To Cancer telethon also included Dierks Bentley, Keith Urban and Little Big Town singing “Heroes” in tribute to David Bowie, who died of liver cancer earlier this year. Other artists taking the stage at the show were Charlie Puth and Alessia Cara. Check out full video of Dion’s powerful Stand Up To Cancer performance below.

Celine Dion is not losing weight, nor is she “struggling,” despite a report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct the claims.

The allegations come from RadarOnline, which announces in a headline on Tuesday, “Scary Skinny! Celine Dion ‘Struggling To Keep Going’ After Extreme Weight Loss.” The accompanying story says, “Workaholic Celine Dion might think she’s carrying out her late husband Rene Angelil’s wishes by getting back up on stage, but insiders say she’s absolutely exhausted and her recent drastic weight loss is a direct result of her taking on way too much.”

“Celine’s shed at least seven pounds from her already thin frame and she’s struggling to keep going,” a so-called “concerned friend” tells the webloid. “Her schedule is completely insane, but Celine keeps going because in her mind ‘It’s what Rene would have wanted.'”

The supposed source goes on, “Rene was her manager and always kept her workaholic tendencies under control — he would never have approved of her current workload. She’s losing too much weight too quickly and she really needs some rest and recuperation.”

First off, no “concerned friend” would be talking to RadarOnline about alleged health issues. Second, aside from recently cutting her hair, Dion looks pretty much the same as she has for years. She is not “scary skinny,” but roughly the same size she’s always been.

Furthermore, these claims are coming from the same outlet that falsely said Dion was having an “emotional breakdown” back in July. In actuality, she was happily spending time at Paris Fashion Week and touring. There’s no denying Dion is keeping busy, but it’s not at the expense of her health.

In response to the webloid’s claims, Dion’s spokesperson tells Gossip Cop, “Did you not just see her on ‘Ellen’ and Stand Up To Cancer? Does she look like she lost weight?” The answer, of course, is no. The superstar is doing her best to go about her life after a challenging few months. Outlets like RadarOnline needn’t make it worse.

Celine Dion is NOT “moving on” with young guitarist, Kevin Girouard, following the death of her husband, Rene Angelil, despite an inaccurate tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust this claim. We’re told it’s “not true.”

The singer’s husband passed away earlier this year following a long battle with cancer, but according to Star, she’s now ready to start dating again and has an eye on her guitarist. A so-called “source” tells the magazine, “Celine and Kevin have some serious chemistry, but they’re taking it slow.” The outlet’s dubious insider further notes how it was Angelil who hired Girouard to join Dion’s Las Vegas band, adding, “Celine can’t help but think perhaps Kevin was Rene’s last gift.”

But Gossip Cop checked in with a source close to Dion, who exclusively assures us there’s no budding romance developing between her and Girouard, and the tabloid’s claim otherwise is simply “not true.” We’re further told the singer’s relationship with the members of her band is purely professional. Unfortunately, we’re not surprised by the outlet’s phony report. Gossip Cop previously corrected Star’s sister publication, the National Enqurier, for also falsely claiming Dion was dating Girouard. There was no truth to the story then, and nothing has changed in the time since.
