Céline Dion made a stunning comeback at the Paris Olympic Games, wowing the crowd with a grand performance.
She closed the ceremony on Friday with a heartfelt version of Edith Piaf’s classic song, “L’Hymne à l’amour,” singing from the first stage of the Eiffel Tower.
Dion was in great shape, her powerful voice hitting every high note perfectly. She looked amazing in a beautiful beaded white gown with tassels, adding to the event’s grandeur.
After her performance, Kelly Clarkson, who was commentating for NBC, was initially speechless. She then called Dion “a vocal athlete” in admiration.
This live performance is Céline Dion’s first concert since she revealed her struggle with stiff person syndrome. This rare condition affects the nervous system, specifically the brain and spinal cord, and is progressive.
In December 2022, Dion, now 56, announced she was stepping back from her career to focus on her health. She explained that the syndrome made it difficult for her to sing like she used to.
Dion’s last live performance was in March 2020 in New Jersey. At the Olympics opening, Lady Gaga also performed a tribute to France’s famous Music Hall star from the 1950s, Zizi Jeanmaire, by singing “Mon truc en plume” along the Seine river.
Last month, Dion opened up about the challenges she faces living with stiff person syndrome while promoting her new documentary ‘I Am: Celine Dion’ on Amazon.
In an interview with NBC’s Hoda Kotb, she described how trying to sing with her condition feels “like somebody is strangling you.” She elaborated on the impact of the syndrome, which causes involuntary spasms and muscle rigidity, affecting various parts of her body, including her abdomen, spine, and ribs.
“I have broken ribs at one point because sometimes when it’s very severe, it can break some ribs as well,” the Grammy-winner shared. Despite these challenges, Dion has not allowed her diagnosis to completely sideline her. She made a notable appearance at the Grammy Awards earlier this year, presenting the final trophy of the evening.
In her documentary, Dion expressed her unwavering determination to return to performing. “If I can’t run, I’ll walk. If I can’t walk, I’ll crawl,” she said. “And I won’t stop. I won’t stop.”
Her return at the Olympics not only marked a significant moment in her career but also showcased her resilience and dedication to her craft, inspiring fans and fellow performers alike.
TV Star’s $1M Plastic Surgery Transformation
Jessica Alves, popularly known as the “Human Barbie,” dazzled onlookers in a bold yellow jumpsuit at the JayJayPR Summer Is Coming Party in Chelsea. The 39-year-old Brazilian-British TV star proudly showcased her enhanced physique following her latest breast augmentation surgery, part of a $1 million transformation journey.
The OnlyFans model paired her figure-hugging outfit with towering pink pointed-toe heels, a chic small handbag, and chunky orange earrings, as reported by the Daily Mail. Alves exuded confidence, posing for photos and drawing attention to her striking appearance.
Jessica recently revealed she has earned over £2 million through her content on OnlyFans, where she openly shares her journey and embraces her unique aesthetic. In an interview with Daily Mail, Alves reflected on her remarkable transformation and the fulfillment it has brought her.
“I love being a woman and take pride in it,” she said. “Growing up, in my mind, I had long hair and a voluptuous body shape.
Today, I am the woman of my dreams, and that’s such a great feeling. With over 100 surgeries and more than £1 million invested, it’s been a long journey, but I see it as an investment in my happiness and future.”
Alves also spoke about her latest procedure, her third breast augmentation. “I just had my third boob job in Brussels at BeClinic with Dr. Frank Plovier,” she shared.
He replaced my old 1500cc implants with 2220cc ones. The results are fantastic—I couldn’t be happier.”
Despite criticism and social media bullying, Alves remains steadfast in her commitment to embracing her identity.
“I understand that I don’t fit into traditional beauty standards, but this was my choice, and it makes me happy,” she explained. “People should respect that.”
She also addressed the challenges she faces from online trolls and critics. “We live in a free society where we can be who we want to be. While I do get negative comments and bullying, especially on Instagram, it doesn’t affect me. I am a glamorous, voluptuous woman, and I love being who I am!”
Jessica Alves continues to inspire conversations about self-expression and individuality, urging others to respect her journey and choices.
