Dion and her husband and manager Rene Angelil have one son, 9-year-old Rene Charles.
She had undergone several rounds of in-vitro fertilization in an attempt to get pregnant again.
The pregnancy was first reported by People Magazine.
Dion is working on new albums in English and French, and returns next year to Las Vegas for a three-year residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

^ At least some part of her career is going well these days. Well, she did achieve the second highest-grossing female tour of all time with her last tour (which ended last year). There are definitely a few areas of her career that are still red hot. There is certainly much more to success than just Hot 100 peaks and digital placements. |

Can't wait for another album  Nothing's been confirmed yet, but I would presume it'll be sometime this year (I think in the past, she's done a few May/November releases, so perhaps FRN in May and ENG in November?). |

Celine is a living legend and not a passenger hit-maker... |

I just wish she'd play more of her songs, since she has so many good ones (in my opinion...you can tell I'm a big Céline fan ;) haha)...it's a shame that so many people think her only songs are "My Heart Will Go On" (aka "that Titanic song" or just "Titanic" *rolls eyes*), "Because You Loved Me," etc. :(

Oprah taping was earlier today. No news on the new albums (:(), but there's some Vegas news among other things: - OPRAH SPOILER; highlight to view: She performed Billy Joel's "Lullaby"
- The show will include a Michael Jackson tribute and a medley of James Bond songs, as well as other covers and Celine's original songs
- She'll be singing "Shine" at the Oscars.
- She's currently on her way to Vegas...arriving in the next half-hour or so, I think.
:) EDIT: Gah; apparently this forum doesn't allow hex codes within color tags so I can't hide the spoiler very well. Sorry! |

Oh; here's "Lullaby" live from Oprah: www.youtube.com/watch?v=a7lLQO1wXFs  (oops...just noticed the link before is the same thing, but it's missing the first few seconds) The rest of the show is on that profile as well. |

I just saw this:
Return to Caesar's
Celine is housed at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which this week bore an outdoor sign reading "Céline is back!" For the new show, Dion will take to the stage 70 times a year for the next three years.
A New Day was seen at the same venue by nearly three million people and took in more than $400 million US during its five-year run.
Celine's debut has garnered much hype and sparked many hopes for a boost to Sin City. Since A New Day ended in 2007, Las Vegas has suffered a recession and struggled with unemployment and sluggish tourism.
The Las Vagas Weekly dubbed Dion's new show "The Second Coming" and Newsweek described it as the city's "biggest act since Elvis."
"I am just a singer," Dion said in an interview on Saturday.
"I want people to come and not feel disappointed. That's my most important job," she added. "I personally don't think I have anything to do with the economy."
Since 2007, the award-winning singer took time off to be with her family, released two albums, embarked on a successful world tour and gave birth last year to twin boys, a brother to the couple's 10-year-old son. She is anticipating the release of a pair of new albums (one French and one English) by the end of 2012.

It will be interesting to see what direction she goes in and how she is received, because Adult Contemporary radio has changed a lot since her last album in 2007 (and it was already transitioning for a few years even at that point). It used to be a home for artists like Celine. Now Adult Contemporary is more like what Hot AC was during Celine's reigning years. They are basically playing the less rhythmic pop hits of several months ago. There really isn't a home for more traditional adult contemporary artists on American radio anymore.

Ugh; I thought you bumped this because you had news! :(
I've been watching a Céline Dion forum every so often for news--there's currently a rumor that some form of album will be out in the US in November. With any luck, it'll be a new studio album instead of another "greatest hits" collection or live album.

Seeing several posts that Céline will have a new English album on November 21 and a French album in 2012. Can't find an official source yet. |

Hopefully we'll see something from this, but with her new Vegas stint, I doubt it.
