Celine Dion Making Acting Debut In New Rom-Com
Well this is something many of us never expected to see. Legendary singer Celine Dion has announced that she is making her debut on the big screen! We’ve seen her on screen several times during her singing career. But this is the first time she’ll be acting…sort of. She is playing herself in the movie.
Celine Dion made the announcement on her Instagram page. Dion posted a still from the film, with the accompanying text “see you at the movies” (in both English and French, of course). In the still, she is sitting on a couch next to actor Sam Heughan, whom she stars with in the movie.
Dion also included that she will be releasing new music for the movie. The romantic comedy is called Love Again and will be out May 12. Priyanka Chopra is also starring in the film and posted the announcement on her own Instagram page. Chopra expressed she is a huge fan of Celine Dion and super excited to work with her.
The premise of this romantic comedy starts with a death, today.com reported. A woman whose fiancé has passed away texts her feelings of love for him to his old phone to ease her grief. Trouble is the phone number has already been assigned to another person. A man, also dealing with heartache. I think we can guess where this is going.
Celine Dion plays her superstar self that the lead man, a journalist, is writing an article for. So the guy enlists Dion‘s help with meeting the woman on the other side of his phone. Of course, Dion is a master when it comes to all things romantic. It makes sense she would be the one to turn to.
The film will also feature some of Dion‘s other hits. So it’s pretty much going to be a Celine Dion fest. And her fans are just fine with that. 🙂

7 Amazing Pumpkin Drinks That Don't Come From Starbucks
If you’re like me, you get seriously excited the first time you see that the Pumpkin Spice Latte is coming back around. It’s like the Labor Day of the culinary world. An unequivocal sign that fall is here. Of course, Starbucks has had the monopoly on the PSL. They’ve been serving up that delectable drink for almost 20 years.
But other franchises eventually got on board the PSL train and started offering their own versions of pumpkin drinks. And in the modern age of DIYers, a lot of people started making them at home. I don’t know about you, but I just can’t get the one I make at home taste as good as the Starbucks one. Well, there’s a reason for that.
The Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte has more fat, sugar and salt than you’d probably allow yourself to put into one cup at home. It’s easy to drink all that up when it’s delivered as a single drink out a drive thru window. Today.com once reported that a 16-oz PSL at Starbucks contained 18 grams of fat and 50 grams of sugar!
……What happened? Sorry I fainted. But seriously, that’s your whole day’s worth of sugar allowance. In one 16-ounce drink. Yikes!
So we CAN make our sacred Pumpkin Spice Latte at home. It just takes a combination of milk, coffee, pumpkin puree, and pumpkin pie spices. How you sweeten it is where the calories can add up. Some people use plain old sugar. Others get creative with agave or maple syrup. And don’t get me started on all the fancy extras like vanilla bean or homemade caramel.
But what about those of us who want to branch out from the Starbucks PSL and don’t have the time (or patience) to make one at home? Well, there are many other places in Las Vegas where you can find pumpkin drinks that might become your new favorite. Here are a few. We even threw a couple non-coffee pumpkin drinks in there for the caffeine-free weirdos…I mean people.
