Celine Dion will release her new album, One Heart, on March 25th, the same day that her Las Vegas extravaganza "A New Day . . ." premieres at Caesars Palace Coliseum. The first single from the record is "I Drove All Night" -- a song originally recorded by Roy Orbison and covered by Cyndi Lauper on her 1989 album Night to Remember. Fans can preview the song at www.celinedion.com.

The song will also be featured in the new DaimlerChrysler ads. Dion also signed on as spokesperson for the car company, which is sponsoring her three-year Vegas stint.

Dion will perform "God Bless America" at Super Bowl XXXVII on January 26th in San Diego.
