Celine's Spawn Will Go On
With the big 4-0 looming, Celine Dion is ready to "bring to life" another baby.
In an interview with a French entertainment magazine, Dion says she will seek to give birth to a second child via in vitro fertilization when her epic run at Caesar's Palace ends in 2007.
"I'm approaching 40 years old, and I have to tend to that," the Grammy-winning singer told Tele 7 Jours. "This frozen embryo that is in New York is my child waiting to be brought to life."
The 37-year-old and her manager husband of nearly 11 years, Rene Angelil, welcomed their first child in 2001. Son Rene-Charles was born after a difficult year in which the singer's struggles to conceive made tabloid headlines.
At the time, Dion revealed that she had another embryo in storage at a New York clinic.
"So, I have a twin," she said, "a laboratory twin." While the two embryos are technically called twins, because they were "conceived at the same time," Dion said the children would not be identical.
"I do not know if it is good forever, but I think it lasts for a very long time," Dion explained at the time. "I will go get it, that's for sure."
In the meantime, Dion has become a Vegas mainstay, having signed an exclusive three-year, $100 million contract with Caesar's back in 2003.
Terms of the deal included a state-of-the-art stadium, built specially for her A New Day run.
Despite having just 350 performances remaining in her Sin City gig, the power balladeer has no plans to abandon her singing career.
Dion hopes to balance diaper duty with movie making. And while she has a son of her own, she tells Tele 7 Jours her sights are set on another little man.
"I want an Oscar!"
