Deal or not Deal finale with Celine

 

 For the finale, the stakes have been raised. Top prize is $5 million
 for contestant Casey Bell, a high school guidance counselor from
Temecula, Calif. Bell's favorite singer, Celine Dion, is
 beamed via satellite from Las Vegas to help answer the all
important question: Deal ... or no deal? "It's a big deal for our
family to be on Deal or No Deal," Dion says.
"I do not watch a lot of television, but we have been
hooked on that TV show."
She says it's because of her son, Rene-Charles, 5. Dion and
 her husband, Rene Angelil, have dinner at the kitchen table and
watch the show with him. "We love it. We cheer. 
We can't stand still." René-Charles is such a fan, she says,
that when he decided to play the game at home,
 "Dad had to go to the store one night about two months ago.
We had to buy some cases just like on the show."

Celine Dion will forever be a part of the Grevin Museum with the unveiling
of her wax statue.  An exclusive preview presentation will take
 place on Sunday, February 5 during Michel Drucker's
 show, "Vivement Dimanche."

necessary measurements and photos were taken in order to create the statue.

 Angelil approved the work of art and Celine was photographed with the statue.

Thibault Vabre, make-up artist to the stars and Celine's friend, worked with
Grevin's make-up artist to give direction on the final details of the statue.

 The 'Parisian' statue will be dressed in the extravagant, white embroidered
outfit that Celine wore during her two shows at the Stade of France in 1999.

The Celine Dion statue will be unveiled on February 6, 2006 in the
Grevin Museum Theatre. Special guests will include
Michel Drucker, Charles Aznavour, Henri Salvador and many
 other famous people from show business, politics, sport, literature and history.

The official unveiling of the second statue, which will remain on display at
The Colosseum at Caesar's Palace, will take place in Las Vegas in May 2006.
This will be Grevin's premiere on American soil. The statue will be in Las Vegas
in time for the benefit show celebrating the 500th performance of A New Day
On Monday February 6, Grevin will give Celine fans the magical opportunity
to be photographed "at her side."
