Overview
- Kelly Ripa said on Thursday that Céline Dion once sang to her infant daughter and that she believes that moment helped inspire Lola Consuelos to pursue singing.
- Actor Jim Parsons, appearing on Live With Kelly and Mark to promote the Broadway parody Titaníque, agreed that Dion’s onstage persona in the show could be imagined to give someone a ‘gift of voice.’
- Lola released her debut EP, sorry, it’s all about me, in December 2025, and Ripa and Mark Consuelos secretly flew to London to surprise her at the EP release party.
- Entertainment coverage describes Lola’s music as soulful, bluesy R&B with jazzy undertones and notes that she views songwriting as a therapeutic practice.
- The anecdote has been widely picked up by talk-show and entertainment outlets and is framed against Céline Dion’s status as a major pop star and Titaníque’s use of her music, which includes a Tony-nominated portrayal of a Dion-like character.
