Céline Dion to trade the Strip for nappies?

Four years into her record-breaking Las Vegas show A new day… Céline Dion has disclosed plans for her post-Vegas life. Two new albums, a new home, and a second child are all on the books.

French Canadian songstress Céline Dion raised a lot of eyebrows when she took herself off the road to mount a nightly extravaganza in Las Vegas. Many doubted whether she could draw in consistent enough crowds to make it profitable. However high demand and massive profits have proved the critics wrong–and other acts are now lining up to "work the Strip."

But Céline's contract at Caesar's Palace runs out next year–what's next? In an exclusive interview she gave to the American entertainment programme Extra, Céline didn't equivocate. Her immediate future includes "French album, English album, one more year of this show. After, I hope to have another child". She and her husband are also building a new, larger home in Florida, in which to live after their Vegas commitments are over.

Fans of both her French and English music will be thrilled: Céline's last new French album was 2003's Une fille et 4 types, though she released a double-disc best-of French language disc (One ne change pas) in 2005. Céline's last new English album was 2004's Miracle. Click here to view the interview.
