Feb. 23 2019, Updated 8:43 p.m. ET
Celine Dion has approved two biographical movies about her life amid controversy over her toothpick-thin appearance.
The "My Heart Will Go On" singer, 50, apparently will be the next singer to see her life story hit the big screen after the success of Bohemian Rhapsody, the movie about late Queen rocker Freddie Mercury.
But there will be dueling songbird biographies as both English and French-language films about Dion are reportedly planned.
The big-octave beauty has caused concern lately by showing her scary skinny body in fashion-forward outfits.
Although Dion's always been tiny, her recent appearances earlier this year at Paris Fashion Week appeared painful.
Scroll through RadarOnline.com's gallery for more on the movies about her life and her alarming look.
Dion's life has been the stuff of fairy tales, which is perfect for a biopic. She was born in Canada to a poor family as the youngest of 14 children. She first performed in public at the age of five at a brother's wedding.
Dion's first recording at age 12 fell into the hands of music manager Rene Angelil, who vowed to make her a star. He did, and also married her. Their May/December love story which lasted until his death in 2016 is sure to be a part of the upcoming English-lanuage film, Cèline Before Celine by Quebec director Marc-Andre Lavoie and written by Dion's nephew Jimmy. It is set to be produced in 2020.
The Power Of Love is the title of the French-language version of Dion's life, said to be "semi-fictional." Directed by and starring Valerie Lemercier, the French-language movie is planned for a 2020 release.

Celine Before Celine's director has said, "I've never met someone as kind, warm and authentic as Celine, and we'll be forever grateful that she believes so strongly in our team to tell the real story as it's never been told before."
Amid Dion's joy over the movie projects about her life, however, fans have been stunned by her ultra-thin look. In January 2019, the singer wore a series of odd outfits for Paris Fashion Week that showed her skinny form
Among other bizarre getups, on January 25, 2019, Dion was seen around the Crillon Hotel in Paris in a dramatic braless black jumpsuit with a plunging V-neckline that flaunted her skimpy cleavage. She also looked like a living skeleton in a grey suit. https://radaronline.com/photos/celine-dion-scary-skinny-grey-suit-paris/ But Dion hasn't commented on her weight.
Is something wrong with Dion? As RadarOnline.com has reported, sources said Dion lost a lot of weight after her husband's tragic death from throat cancer. Soon, her fans around the world will get to re-live the ups and downs of "The Power of Love" songstress' storied life.
