So happy that October 15th is just around the corner as I really want to know which Canadian cities she'll be going to.

[Epoenah]

Does anyone have any idea when Celine is going to do the American leg of her world tour? I know it was mentioned that she is going to come to North America... I just have never heard a time frame....

Some time ago, Jenna Glatzer, the write who wrote Celine's lastest biography, said that Celine Dion would be touring NEW YORK CITY by August of 2.008.

I was just told by one of Celine's dancers who auditioned for her world tour that him and other 7 dancers are going to tour the world with Celine. He is very exited and also telling me that many of AND dancers auditioned for this but only 8 got the job! imagine all of them are already great, so to choose 8 out 58 was hard, so now for sure we know we are going to have the very best on her world tour, this is going to be a great i cant wait to see what they'll prepare.

 

I asked him if Mia was part of the tour preparation and he smile by telling me i knew a little too much lol but he couldn't share more with me yet, ill see what else i can get out of him

Ask Jamie King how a boy from Verona ended up as a choreographer and director for such megastars as Madonna, Rihanna and Celine Dion and he says there are two answers - one physical, one spiritual. The physical answer is obvious. King, who released a book and DVD called "Rock Your Body" in May and is a consultant and spokesperson for Nike's dance fitness products, is a talented dancer and instructor.

 

So it 's the spiritual answer he gives: "If you believe that you can actually follow your dreams, you can. In Verona, I had dreams of being on MTV and dancing with stars. I had posters of Madonna, Prince and Michael Jackson on my wall. Now I not only work with them, I get to tell them what to do."

 

King didn 't start dance classes until he was 16. "Being a boy in Verona, it didn 't seem like the thing to do in public. I had to hide it, dance in my basement copying videos on MTV and showing moves to my friends secretly. "

 

Once he finally took a class at the West Side Performing Arts Dance Studio, he says, "I was the only boy in class. Everyone else was wearing tutus. "

 

A teacher suggested he attend a convention for the Tremaine/Sleight Dance Studio, where he says he "stood out for all the wrong reasons. " But he won a scholarship to the Los Angeles performing arts school anyway.

 

"They said, He doesn 't know what he 's doing, but he has passion, ' " King says. "I think the rest of the dancers wanted to stab me. "

 

Now, he 's been working with Madonna for 10 years. He hasn 't returned to Madison lately because his parents, Barbara and David Watts, like to visit him in exotic places.

 

When I spoke with King on the telephone recently, he was drinking Lemon Zinger tea with honey in an attempt to fend off "some bug. " Yet his itinerary the previous day included three interviews, a visit to Kanye West 's house to "prep him for a tour " and approving three numbers for the Spice Girls' reunion tour. That day started at 7 a.m. and ended the next day around 3 a.m.

 

As for what 's next, King dreams of translating his experience directing music videos into directing films, "maybe a musical movie." And Broadway or the West End in London appeal to him. He even jokes that a potential title for his own show could be "Boy From Wisconsin". King says he started his career enjoying "the fame and the ego and feeling like I 'm a part of pop culture."

 

But he adds, "Really at the end of the day, what really makes me happy is the energy I get from doing the Rock Your Body workout and seeing the positive effects it can have for people. "

 

Asked to name a favorite project, he 's diplomatic.

 

"I don 't know. There are so many iconic moments - Madonna and my first musical number, Prince 's mentorship, the Britney Spears, Madonna, Christina Aguilera kiss - these are moments in time I 've loved. I get to influence the influencers. "

Hey,

 

This probably sounds like a really stupid question. But where will world concert details be published?

I know that they come out shortly.

[Clio]

Tomorrow

[fallenlacrymosa]

Anyone else a bit worried there might not be a press conference tomorrow? There's been nothing about it now for a while.

[CSCfan]

What should there be about? A press conference is there to announce stuff, but there are no accouncement for the press conference..lol

[VinnyT.]

The official press release didn't mention a press conference would be held to unveil the World Tour plan.

[celínico_sin_remedio]

Maybe they (Sony) will announce the press conference when they're at the press conference.

So there won't be press conference at all...there will be a press conference that announces that there will be a press conference!! (Maybe)
