Celine Dion just delivered a helluva performance at the Olympics ... and it won't soon be forgotten.

Check out the clip ... the chart-topper wrapped up a pitch-perfect performance of Édith Piaf's classic, "Hymne A L'Amour," where she wore a sparkling silver gown that contrasted the golden glow of the floating Olympics cauldron beside her.

Celine's particularly impressive here ... looking so much like her vintage self it's a shock to remember she's suffering from Stiff-Person Syndrome -- a major neurological disorder.

Drake may want to stick to attending shows where he's getting paid until further notice ... 'cause even in his hometown, it's not always love.

Limp Bizkit was performing in Toronto Thursday night -- prodding their local audience with the mere mention of Drizzy's name as a guest in attendance ... and it didn't get over well at all, as the crowd booed the hell of him.

Check out the photos for yourself ... it's obviously not taken right next to the ear, but there's no major scarring/scabbing to see -- surprising given his former doctor Ronny Jackson told a couple interviewers the bullet blew off part of his ear, so you'd expect some damage.

The former president just announced plans for an event in Butler, PA, where he says he's going to honor the rallygoer who died during the July 13 shooting ... firefighter Corey Comperatore.

Trump says he will also be honoring the "brave patriots" who were injured by gunfire and survived.

Josh Hall is leaning on friends during his divorce from Christina Haack, dropping a pic of himself with Candace Owens and Amber Rose -- which came together spontaneously.

The celebrity realtor was grinning ear-to-ear in the IG Story post Friday ... clearly enjoying his company in Nashville despite his recent single status. Some might've thought this pic implies something else might be afoot between him and the two ladies ... but that ain't the case.

Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ ... Candace is Josh’s longtime pal, and after finding out he was in Nashville and going through a tough time in his personal life -- she invited him to come kick it with her and Amber, and he took her up on the offer.
