Paramount ‘s new series has effectively captivated a new generation of young viewers. While preserving beloved characters such as Babouche and Chipeur the fox, and the educational approach of the original series, it introduces new characters who in turn seem to have won the hearts of toddlers.

Paramount executives are delighted with the positive response to their series, and find it remarkable that Dora continues to stimulate children’s imaginations with its effective, colorful 3D. The young explorer is now part of the streaming platform’s youth success story, alongside the popular Pat’Patrouille team.

Céline Dion looks stunning for Vogue France

Céline Dion, who has kept a low profile in recent years due to her illness, is back with a vengeance.

The singer has agreed to appear on the cover of the popular French edition of Vogue magazine, and she looks absolutely stunning!

Vogue’s headline reads, “Le grand retour”, which bodes well for the future, let’s face it.

“I’m honored to do a photoshoot for Vogue France. I’m very proud that, at 55, I’ve been asked to reveal my beauty. But what is beauty? Beauty is you, it’s me, it’s inside, it’s our dreams, it’s today. Today, I’m a woman who feels very strong about moving forward. One day at a time,” says Céline Dion as she unveils her collaboration with the magazine.

The Vogue team seems just as delighted as Céline by this announcement!

“We had a hard time realizing that she would be the star of this issue. What a gift! Everything about her is so embodied, so real. Her sincerity, her humor, her love, the astonishing paradox of the disarmingly natural international star. She returns little by little, one day at a time, with admirable determination, like a vocal athlete. We’ll be waiting for her voice. The perfection of this voice that we want to hear again”, wrote the magazine, very grateful to have been lucky enough to have Céline Dion on the cover of their May issue.

The May issue of Vogue France will be available on newsstands and online on April 24, and will feature an interview with Céline Dion.

Very good news for Céline’s fans, who have long been hoping to hear from her.

Sophie Grégoire Trudeau: “I’m not divorced, I’m separated”

Ex-wife of Justin Trudeau, current Prime Minister of Canada, was on Tout le monde en parle in Quebec to talk about her new book.

Why is she launching a book at this stage?

“Our own story, it’s never enough”, she says to Guy A. Lepage, a rather vague answer, but Sophie Grégoire Trudeau was only at the beginning of an interview that was to prove particularly interesting.

Guy A. Lepage goes on to discuss the fact that the former Canadian First Lady still uses her married name despite her separation.

So why does she call herself Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau when she’s leaving Justin Trudeau?

“People don’t know me as Sophie or Sophie Grégoire. I want people to be able to have access to the book,” she explains, with an honesty that deserves to be commended.

The host then looks back on her famous interview (and photo shoot) with Vogue magazine, in the wake of her separation – a great way to broach the subject, by the way.

“How difficult is it to live publicly something that is very private?” asks Guy A. Lepage.

“I’ve never perceived my life (…) for me, fame is an illusion, it’s a wind of confusion, I don’t believe in it. It’s a mental construct (…)”, she says, adding later in the interview:

“It’s very difficult to understand when you haven’t been in that position.”

Later, a question from comedian Philippe-Audrey Larrue-St-Jacques revived the interview, as he raised the possibility that a head of state’s divorce could have an impact on foreign policy.

“I’m not divorced, I’m separated,” Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau began, setting the record straight, before assuring him that “nobody came to talk to her about it that way”.

It’s from this point on that Sophie Grégoire’s presence takes a very interesting, even socially relevant turn.

“We’re going to have to redefine in our society our relational maturity, in the sense that we have two words in our vocabulary (…) marriage means success, separation, divorce, means failure,” she explains.

“Are you on good terms with Justin Trudeau?” one person asks the former canadian first lady.

“Of course we are! You can restructure a relationship, then change it, without killing it, or forgetting it, while preserving the history, the beauty that united two beings (…) It’s a priority I’m making of it, I’m going to put effort into it. My children feed on this energy, and I think it’s super important,” Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau replies with aplomb.

“If we could do that in more families, there’d be fewer children suffering too,” she adds.

Then, when asked if she’s worried that her separation might have a psychological impact on her own children, she replies:

“I’m not worried that this decision will have an impact on their emotional heritage. I’m concerned and worried as a mom. They feed off the energy around them.”

Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau therefore believes that it is “all the more important for us to live in our truth, to face our traumas, to deal with them, precisely in order to leave a conscious and mature legacy (…)”.

While Grégoire Trudeau appeared to be in complete control of her situation, she teared up when the host talked about Justin Trudeau’s interview on the same set a few weeks earlier, in which he confirmed that he wanted to continue in politics despite the consequences – including, as we understand it, his own separation.

“I think that when you love someone deeply (…) you have to create a space of freedom for their own achievements, even if it doesn’t suit you (…) choose authenticity over attachment,” Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau begins, before adding:

“Everyone is afraid of being abandoned in life, in one way or another, we need the connection (…) no matter what you’re going through in your life (…) the risk of trusting yourself or life is worth the whole game in its entirety.”

An inspired and honest interview from Sophie Grégoire-Trudeau, who, at least for those who can read between the lines, can’t be accused of being dishonest during this interview.
