Singing diva Celine Dion, who dropped a bombshell by taking a two-year break at the height of her career, is getting back to work with a new album, a multimillion-dollar Las Vegas performance contract and plans for a second baby. The French-Canadian star has clinched a three-year deal at Caesar’s Palace, starting in March 2003, to sing five nights a week in a specially-built 4,000-seat replica of the Roman Colosseum, her publicist said Friday. A new single, “A New Day Has Come,” followed by an album, hits radio stations later this month, and Dion, 33, revealed plans to use a… Read more »

Nurse Abby Lockheart has just been dumped. She is in the middle of the rather painful process of moving her stuff out of her ex-boyfriend’s apartment. And to make matters worse, Cake’s “Short Skirt/Long Jacket,” a song about the things a man is looking for in a woman, is playing on the radio. On “ER,” popular music is becoming a bigger part of the story line with every episode. “It adds something to the show every time we use it,” “ER” supervising producer and writer Scott Gemmill said. “It’s amazing what music can bring to a scene.” There’s a new… Read more »

Mariah Carey, Wyclef Jean and Willie Nelson are the latest musical guests to contribute their talents to “America: A Tribute to Heroes,” a two-hour, telethonlike special set to air simultaneously on several networks Friday night. The commercial-free event will raise money for long-term relief efforts benefiting those directly affected by last week’s terrorist attacks. The appearance will mark Carey’s first public showing in months. The singer received psychiatric treatment in July after a physical and emotional breakdown and canceled a scheduled Barbara Walters TV interview. Nevertheless, her movie “Glitter” premieres Friday and its accompanying soundtrack album was released September 11… Read more »

In one of the last weeks before the new season, all four major networks for the first time finished with the same share among young adults for the Sept. 3-9 period – another sign of how hotly contested the upcoming season could be.

NBC won for the 20th time in 21 weeks in the coveted adults 18-49 demographic (3.3 rating, nine share), according to Nielsen, but second-place CBS (3.1/9) and third-place ABC and Fox (who tied at 3.0/9) were all within three-tenths of the… Read more »

The interview with Barbara Walters, which was due to air Sept. 12 on the ABC news magazine show “20/20,” has been put off indefinitely, an ABC spokesman said. A statement from ABC quoted the singer’s publicist, Cindi Berger, as saying Carey, 31, “needs more time to rest.” Walters said in a statement, “We were concerned to hear that Ms. Carey would be unable to do the interview at this… Read more »

Mariah Carey will do her first sit-down interview since her emotional breakdown with ABC News’ Barbara Walters. The interview is scheduled to air on “20/20” at 10 p.m. EDT Sept. 12. The 31-year-old pop singer was treated at a Connecticut clinic earlier this month and has been with her mother, under a doctor’s care, since her release. Carey said she was exhausted after working on two movies – “Glitter,” opening Sept. 21, and “Wise Girls,” due out next year – as well as the soundtrack for “Glitter,” which hits stores Sept. 11. The Grammy winner recently posted a voice message… Read more »
