Rene Angelil, best known as the manager/husband of Celine Dion, is going to be coaching Quebec's rising musical talent on their Idol-equivalent show "Star academie."
MONTREAL -- Rene Angelil, the manager of pop icon Celine Dion, has agreed to coach another generation of aspiring stars for a Quebec TV reality show.Angelil, who is also Dion's husband, will advise and critique performers as they prepare and then perform for Star academie, which is broadcast on the French-language TVA network.
Julie Snyder, who hosts and produces Star academie, said at a news conference Tuesday that she asked Angelil during a recent telephone call if he would participate in the show. He agreed after a week of reflection.
Star academie is the Quebecois equivalent of CTV's Canadian Idol.
Angelil said the young people who participate in the show enjoy a springboard for their career that was not available to him when he was younger and in a musical trio called Les Baronets.
The Star academie team will travel to 12 cities in Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick beginning in mid-August to find 100 candidates for the competition. That number will be narrowed down to 20, whose identities will be revealed during a gala in February.
Dion will also participate in one of the galas.
I would tune in. Just to figure out the Rene/Celine mystery. Those two crack me up and I'm not sure why.
