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!

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.

Celine Dion released a tribute video in honor of her late husband Rene Angelil on Saturday, the one year anniversary of his death. Watch below.

As Gossip Cop has reported, Angelil died on January 14, 2016 after a long battle with cancer. He was 73. Days later, Dion’s brother also died of cancer. The double tragedy understandably devastated the singer and her family. But last February, she and eldest son Rene-Charles paid tribute to Angelil during a “Celebration of Life” event in Las Vegas.

Now Dion is remembering her manager and partner once more. In the new montage, Angelil is seen throughout his life, from pictures of him as a baby to footage of his wedding day with Dion to clips of him with their twins, Nelson and Eddy. Twice the couple is seen doing their hand signal for “I love you.”

The video was posted on Dion’s Facebook page with a simple title: “A year has passed.” Her team further wrote, “Today, January 14th, it’s been a year since Rene left us. He will always be in our hearts.” The same statement was used to caption an Instagram photo on Saturday of Dion and Angelil with their arms around one another. Check out the moving new tribute below.

Celine Dion does not have a “titanic crush” on songwriter and music producer David Foster, despite a new tabloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively correct this off-key report. We are told it’s “ridiculous.”

According to Star, “Dion’s heart is ready to go on with her late husband’s friend David Foster,” who collaborated with the singer on “The Power Of Love” and “Because You Love Me.” A so-called “source close to the singer” tells the tabloid, “David and Celine have been close for 25 years; He’s like family.”

“Celine may be too deep in the friend zone to have a shot with the music mogul,” writes the publication, which notes he recently divorced “Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills” star Yolanda Hadid and is currently with Christie Brinkley. “He’s been in constant contact with Celine since Rene [Angelil] passed away, but he sees her as a friend, not a lover,” says the tabloid’s supposed “source.” The magazines then ends its article with its seemingly made-up insider saying, “When we bring it up, she blushes and says, ‘I love David, but he only dates supermodels.'”

Basically, Star concocted an entirely fictitious story about Dion having a “crush” on Foster, but because it’s not true (and they aren’t going to date), the magazine needed to find an out for itself. That’s why the publication conveniently stated that Foster and Dion are “in the friend zone” and that “he sees her as a friend.” The reality, however, is that Dion does NOT have a crush on her friend. A mutual pal of Gossip Cop and Dion’s assures us the tabloid’s claim is 100 percent “ridiculous.”

To say the outlet has a poor record when it comes to certain stories about Dion is actually being kind. Last year, Gossip Cop busted the tabloid for a fabricated report that claimed a biopic about Dion was being made by Angelina Jolie. And just two months ago, the magazine wrongly alleged Dion was dating her guitarist Kevin Girouard. Curiously, the outlet made no mention of the guitarist with its latest misstep. Neither of those previous articles were true, and the same goes for the latest one about Dion crushing on Foster.

Celine Dion and Gwen Stefani are teaming up on “The Voice,” and discussed their partnership for the first time in an interview broadcast on Friday’s “Today” show. Check out the video below!

As Gossip Cop has reported, Stefani is back as a coach for season 12 of the NBC competition, which premieres next month. For the Battle round, she’ll have Dion by her side as the key adviser for her team. “There’s nobody like Celine,” Stefani gushed in the interview.

“To get, like, the prize right here, everybody’s gonna be so mad. The other coaches, I got you,” she boasted. “So excited!” Dion shared that she knows Stefani “very well,” from her music career to her fashion line. And the fandom is clearly mutual.

Stefani said, “I am blown away by her unbelievable story — to end up having this unbelievable gift, to be able to speak through music to the whole world.” And as Dion kept repeatedly breaking into song, the No Doubt front woman amusingly joked, “Her brain, I don’t know what’s going on in there, but it’s crazy inside there.”

Meanwhile, Stefani’s boyfriend Blake Shelton is bringing on Luke Bryan to mentor his team. Adam Levine is working with John Legend, while Alicia Keys invited DJ Khaled. Watch the interview with Dion and Stefani below!

Celine Dion did NOT throw a “diva fit” on the set of “The Voice” when she guest-starred on the show, despite a fabricated webloid report. Gossip Cop can exclusively debunk this claim. We’re told it’s untrue.

The singer recently appeared on the reality competition series as the mentor for Gwen Stefani’s team, but a so-called “source” tells RadarOnline, “Celine acted like she was a superstar the moment she walked on set to tape her episodes. She was extremely entitled and was just not friendly or welcoming to the production crew at all!”

The outlet’s dubious insider adds, “She had to do several retakes and complained about everything from her hair and make-up, to the outfit that was chosen for her.” Gossip Cop, however, checked in with reliable sources at NBC, who exclusive assures us the site’s story is entirely untrue. We’re told the show’s producers loved working with Dion and wish they had more time to film with her.

Additionally, a rep for Dion exclusively tells us, “She stayed well into the night to help each contestant. The show could not stop shooting because Celine was giving so much.” As for the claim that the singer complained about her wardrobe, we’re told she “makes her own choices regarding clothes,” and the production team never picked out her outfits.

Unfortunately, we’ve repeatedly called out RadarOnline for publishing false stories about the singer, so this latest fabrication isn’t surprising. Gossip Cop previously busted the site for alleging Dion was struggling with extreme weight loss. We also debunked the webloid’s tall tale about Dion having an emotional breakdown. This latest report is equally bogus.

Celine Dion was not a “diva” at the Bee Gees tribute, Grammys producer Ken Ehrlich tells Gossip Cop. We can exclusively debunk a RadarOnline report falsely claiming the superstar was a “total nightmare” at the event. The site apparently didn’t even fact-check its story.

Though CBS’ “Stayin’ Alive: A Grammy Salute To The Music Of The Bee Gees” was filmed several months ago, it’s only now after the special aired that the webloid is suspiciously claiming Dion misbehaved at the star-studded concert. The site quotes an unnamed “on-set snitch” that ridiculously alleges the singer “acted like the tribute was for her.” The outlet’s purported source goes as far as rudely calling Dion a “total b*tch,” and accuses her of making unreasonable demands.

But nothing could be further from the truth, Gossip Cop has learned. Ehrlich tells Gossip Cop exclusively, “The truth is that no artist is ever as cooperative and collaborative as Celine, and it really angers me to see this blind item out there. And on this show, because of the emotional circumstances, she was even more wonderful to work with.”

Another insider close to the situation points out to Gossip Cop, “If there were any issues, they would have come out [when the concert was taped in February], and everyone knows that Celine is one of the nicest people to work with because she does not have diva behaviors. That’s why everyone wants her on their shows.”

Gossip Cop previously called out RadarOnline for trying to peddle similarly untrue allegations about Dion being a “diva” on “The Voice.” Like now, the dubious outlet waited long after the singer filmed her appearance on the singing competition to suddenly claim she acted inappropriately. But it was all a lie, as is this false narrative now about Dion and the Grammys special.

Celine Dion performed “My Heart Will Go On” at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards on Sunday, in honor of the 20th anniversary of Titanic. Check out the video below!

Titanic was released in theaters in December 1997, with “My Heart Will Go On” used as the film’s main theme music. The late James Horner composed the song, Will Jennings wrote the lyrics, and Dion was selected to record it. The track became a worldwide smash, and won honors at the Academy Awards, Golden Globes and Grammys. Two decades later, its legacy as one of the most well-known songs of all time endures.

It was announced earlier this month that Dion was invited to the BBMAs to celebrate the iconic ballad. She said in a statement, “This song means a lot to me, and it has played such a huge role in my career… It’s a great honor to have the opportunity to perform it on the Billboard Music Awards’ international stage, in celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary.”

This is now the second year in a row the superstar has had a big moment at the BBMAs. As Gossip Cop reported last year, Dion received the Icon Award, and gave an incredible performance of “The Show Must Go On,” at the 2016 ceremony. It was the first time she performed on TV since the death of her husband, Rene Angelil, who died earlier in the year. Dion, a six-time Billboard Music Awards winner before then, was honored on stage by the couple’s son Rene Charles, as well as her friend Seal.

Among Dion’s Billboard wins is the 1998 award for Hot Soundtrack Single. That, of course, was given for “My Heart Will Go On.” Prior to tonight, Dion last performed “My Heart Will Go On” for television during the “Greatest Hits” finale last summer. Watch the video of the new Billboard Music Awards performance below!

Celine Dion and Cher did not “feud” at the Billboard Music Awards, contrary to a new report. Gossip Cop can exclusively bust the story, which was wholly made up.

As Gossip Cop reported, Dion performed “My Heart Will Go On” at the BBMAs on Sunday to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Titanic. Cher received the Icon Award, and performed “Believe” and “If I Could Turn Back Time.” All appeared to go down without scandal. But now on Monday, RadarOnline is blaring, “Celine Dion & Cher’s Feud Erupts Backstage At Billboard Music Awards.”

In the accompanying story, the webloid asserts “the divas dueled behind the scenes” and “Dion was so upset about Cher.” What supposedly happened? The site claims Dion was “not happy” backstage when Cher received the Icon Award, which was bestowed upon Dion herself at last year’s Billboard Music Awards. A so-called “source” alleges the two legends have “animosity” and a rivalry because they both have Las Vegas residencies.

And so do Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. Are Dion and Cher feuding with them, too? No, and they’re not feuding with each other, either. But as far as the BBMAs go, the outlet’s supposed snitch contends Dion “felt like she should have been allotted more time for her performance.” Well, that allegation doesn’t make much sense since the sole purpose of Dion’s performance was to mark the anniversary of Titanic. She performed the theme song its in entirety, so the notion she wanted “more time” is illogical.

This piece seems to be based entirely on two flimsy claims: Dion and Cher have “animosity” because they both have Vegas concert series, and Dion supposedly wanted a longer appearance. Yet nowhere in the article does the publication say how their so-called “feud” erupted backstage, as the headline maintains. In fact, far from there being any evidence of how the pair “dueled behind the scenes,” footage of Dion singing and dancing along backstage to Cher’s performance has gone viral. (See screengrab above and videos below.)

Gossip Cop suspects the real reason for RadarOnline’s story, aside from wanting to capitalize on interest in the awards show, is the blog just wanted to take yet another inaccurate swipe at Dion. In March, the webloid wrongly accused Dion of throwing a “diva fit” on “The Voice,” and in April the site falsely alleged Dion was a “diva” at the Grammys Bee Gees tribute. Gossip Cop debunked both stories at the time, and it’s awfully suspicious that these claims about the superstar only seem to come from this one outlet, despite being tied to major shows with large media coverage.

It’s a huge indicator of fake news when one publication repeatedly makes allegations that are timed to big events but aren’t backed up by any reputable news sources. So, why has no other outlet reported on Dion and Cher’s feud erupting backstage at the BBMAs? Because it simply didn’t happen. And only RadarOnline is claiming otherwise because the webloid made it up. Though the site is trying to rain on their parade, so to speak, Gossip Cop is told both superstars had a “lovely” time at the event.

“They saw each other in passing as Cher got off the stage and spent about two minutes talking,” a real source who was actually backstage tells Gossip Cop exclusively. “They never saw each other before or after and Celine could not have been happier.” Indeed, check out the videos below.

Celine Dion is not dating backup dancer Pepe Munoz, contrary to widespread rumors. The untrue speculation got a boost on Wednesday from a new tabloid report, but Gossip Cop exclusively confirms with a rep that the story is fake news.

“Celine’s Heart Goes On,” reads a headline from Star, which writes, “It’s all coming back to her now! The Titanic singer is moving full steam ahead with her hunky backup dancer more than a year after losing her husband.” The article alleges Dion has an “extra pep in her step,” and it’s all because Munoz is “loving the ‘All By Myself’ singer back to life” following the death of Rene Angelil last year.

A so-called “source” is quoted as saying, “She’s having so much fun letting go of her inhibitions. Being with a younger man makes her feel so sexy. You can’t help but notice the chemistry between them, on and stage and off!” The tabloid’s supposed snitch goes on to allege, “She’s even introduced him to her sons as a friend, of course, out of respect for their father.” This purported tipster adds to the gossip magazine, “Celine never thought she’d find someone after Rene, but maybe Pepe is her second chance at love.”

It seems, however, that the publication merely built this report around Dion and Munoz having platonic outings in Paris last month, and threw in some puns using the superstar’s song titles for good measure. But while the tabloid may have seen paparazzi pictures and may know Dion’s hits, the magazine clearly doesn’t know what’s really going on with the singer’s personal life. These relationship claims were actually debunked more than a week ago, which makes this tale nothing but misleading and late fake news.

Beyond sharing the stage, Dion and Munoz have a common interest in fashion, which is why they’ve been spending time together in one of the world’s biggest style hot spots. Furthermore, Dion herself also said just a few months ago that she still considers herself married to Angelil, and called it “too soon” to move on with a new romantic partner. What’s more is that Munoz is the third man Star has wrongly linked to the songstress in the 18 months since she lost her husband.

Last November, the tabloid falsely said Dion was “moving on” with her guitarist Kevin Girouard. That was followed in January by an erroneous story saying Dion had a “crush” on David Foster and wanted to date him. In all three cases, the publication spun untrue relationship stories simply because she had links, mostly professional ones, to these men. Apparently the outlet is unaware men and women can just be friends.

Celine Tam may have been eliminated from “America’s Got Talent” before Wednesday’s finale, but she just won a big prize. Celine Dion tweeted an invitation for the 9-year-old to be a “guest” at her Las Vegas show.

As Gossip Cop reported, Tam stunned in her “America’s Got Talent” audition. She first adorably revealed her obsession with Dion, and shared that her little sister’s name is “Dion,” so together they are named “Celine” and “Dion,” She then belted “My Heart Will Go On.” All of the judges gave a standing ovation, and Simon Cowell even teased the little girl, saying she couldn’t possibly be the one singing. Howie Mandel also told Tam, “I can’t get the smile off my face. You are amazing. That’s why I love this show.”

Tam went on to win Laverne Cox’s Golden Buzzer during the Judge Cuts round, securing her place in the live quarterfinals. Most recently, in the semifinals last week, Tam performed “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana. Cowell told the aspiring star afterward, “This was a massive, massive step up from what you’ve done before. The song was perfect you.” By the time the results show aired the following night, Tam’s performance was one of the most-watched YouTube videos from the episode.

Shockingly, though, she failed to earn enough votes to make it into the finals and was, sadly, eliminated. Then last Thursday, following her exit, Tam tweeted, “No matter #howfarillgo #myheartwillgoon! BIG THX n HUG to my family! I hope someday I can sing with Celine Dion but not just as heresay:)” She also included clips of herself singing “My Heart Will Go On.” Now days later, just hours before the finale of “AGT” airs, Dion retweeted Tam’s post and included a special message.

The music icon wrote, “Congrats! You did an amazing job on @AGT! If ever you and your family are in Las Vegas I would love for you to be guests at my show! -Celine.” Tam, whose account is run by her parents, has not yet responded to the offer. Amazingly, her final performance on the NBC talent competition has now racked up nearly two million views, which is more than some of the actual finalists have earned. Still in the running, though, is 10-year-old Angelina Hale, who has also scored millions of views and could walk away with $1 million tonight. Watch the videos of Tam below, and check back with Gossip Cop to find out who wins “America’s Got Talent!”
