One of the first producers Celine worked with on her inaugural English album ‘Unison’ was David Foster. That sparked a musical relationship that has spanned decades. David has produced some of Celine’s greatest hits, including “All By Myself” and the timeless classic “Because You Loved Me”. Starting this month, David will hit the road for his 10-city David Foster & Friends Tour and Celine couldn’t be happier for him:
“Hi David! I really want to congratulate you on your first North American tour this fall! I’ve heard so much about it and it’s great that you’re celebrating your 60th birthday this way. It’s so great to see you bringing good music to all of us and discovering new talent. Best wishes and thanks again for everything we’ve done together.
“HITMAN: David Foster and Friends” CD/DVD will be released on November 11, 2008 by Warner Bros.

Laura Landauer is an actor and singer originally from Montreal and currently living in Toronto. She performed the one woman comedy CELINE SPEAKS and is currently performing the GIPSY MILLER SHOW where she impersonates CELINE DION. Here’s a funny video: “Celine Dion Workout”.
Music specials haven’t fared well in primetime lately, but that’s not stopping CBS from tuning up a pair of hours top lined by Celine Dion and Garth Brooks. Dion will star in “Celine Dion: That’s Just the Woman in Me,” a mix of greatest hits and new duets from her current album. Josh Groban and Black Eyed Peas frontman Will.I.Am will guest on the special, which lensed Saturday at L.A.’s Wiltern Theater.
CBS has slotted the Dion special — the singer’s first since wrapping up her five-year stand in Las Vegas — for Friday, Feb. 15, at 9 p.m. (check local listings).
On Jan. 25, Brooks will headline “Garth Brooks: Live in L.A.!,” which will chronicle the first of Brooks’ planned five concerts over two days. Spec will originate live from the Staples Center, with CBS airing the hour at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
With the WGA strike putting a premium on original programming, the Eye seems to have decided to ignore the recent ratings performances for concert specials. It’s not too much of a gamble, however, given that Dion and Brooks both fit squarely in the CBS demo.
