Céline Dion at Home with Twins Eddy & Nelson

Here they are – the miracle babies.

Céline Dion took People magazine all over her Jupiter Island, Florida, mansion for a collection of intimate photos with 6-week-old fraternal twins Eddy and Nelson in the new People magazine issue, on newsstands toay.

Lounging on the porch, in the pool, in the family bed – the twins, born October 23rd, are getting more than comfy their new home, as Dion and husband René Angélil celebrate their expanded family after six difficult rounds of IVF.

The couple's older son, René-Charles, 9, also seems thrilled with his new siblings, cradling them in a mound of red pillows in one photo.

In the story, Dion talks about the pregnancy, birth, life with the newborns and her plans for easing into rehearsals for her new Las Vegas show, which kicks off March 15th.

"The love and what I feel inside, what we have accomplished – I don't know how to put it into words," Dion says. "It's bigger than life itself."

Céline Dion: We Thought We Were Having Triplets

Céline Dion and her hubby René Angélil are overjoyed about the birth of their twin boys, Eddy and Nelson, but before they were born, there was also some heartbreak.

"For about a week, we thought we had triplets, but sadly on the next visit to the doctor's, we only heard two heartbeats," Dion, 42, tells Hello! magazine in its current issue.

"That little baby decided to leave the space for the two others and to say goodbye to us," she says. "It happened very early during the pregnancy, but still, it shocks you."

But now Dion says she's currently in a good place. "[Motherhood] is going well," she says. "I don't get a lot of sleep ... For sure I'm tired, but that's what I want. And it's only for the first month or so."

Dion says even though her little ones were just born, they're already demonstrating character.

"One is more gutsy than the other," she says. "Nelson seems to have a little stronger personality right now. He's the tougher of the two."

Dion continues, "They are fraternal twins, but they look very alike. Nelson weighed more at the birth, but the doctor told us in a week or two, they're going to be the same."

Celine Dion: Newborn Twins are 'So Cute'

Celine Dion’s is a proud mom of newborn twin sons, and she and husband Rene Angelil are just smitten with the new additions to their family. The singer, who gave birth to Eddy and Nelson on October 23rd, says the little guys are already developing very different personalities.

Celine said: “They’re so cute it’s incredible. When we look at them we can’t believe it. And to have them here at home – it’s all we could wish for.”

Rene added: “One is more gutsy than the other. Nelson seems to have a little stronger personality right now, he’s the tougher of the two. Nelson weighed more at birth but the doctor told us in a week or two, they’re going to be the same.”

However, the couple, who also have a nine-year-old son Rene-Charles, said the twins are identical in expressing their needs. Celine told Britain’s Hello magazine: “When one cries the other cries, or they both don’t cry.”

Despite Rene thinking the babies look “very alike”, his eldest son disagrees. Rene said: “Rene-Charles came to the hospital right after his baseball game and he was thrilled. He said, ‘One looks like Dad and the other looks like Mum.’

Céline Dion Gives Birth to Healthy Twin Boys

Céline Dion is a mom again – times two!

The singer, 42, gave birth to fraternal twin boys on Saturday at St. Mary’s Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida, at 11:11 am and 11:12 am, her rep told People magazine.

"Celine, René and their son René-Charles are thrilled," says her rep.

One of the babies weighed in at 5 lbs., 4 oz., with the other at 5 lbs., 10 oz.

Dion's doctor, Ronald Ackerman, said at a press conference outside the hospital Friday evening that the delivery, done via C-section, went as expected. He also revealed that the twins were both born with a good amount of hair.

The twins are healthy, says Dion's rep, but will spend the next few days in an incubator because they were born premature.

"Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up," the rep adds. "René-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here."

Céline Dion Enters Hospital

Céline Dion is preparing for the birth of her twin boys by checking into the hospital on the advice of her physicians, the singer's rep confirmed to People magazine.

In a statement issued Monday morning, the hospital says, "Ms. Céline Dion has been admitted to St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida for observation at the recommendation of her doctors. She has been admitted to prevent the early delivery of her babies, which is the standard of care for any patient with twin pregnancy in this clinical setting."

The statement makes clear this is a preventive measure, "done to ensure the patient can be in close contact with their doctors and clinical resources, leading up to their birth," it says.

Last week, Dion's husband, René Angélil, told People magazine that, contrary to reports, his wife had not scheduled a C-section to deliver her twins on October 22nd – nor had she made outrageous demands of the hospital.

"There is nothing scheduled," he said. "We do not have a date" for the babies' birth.

Backs Husband's Statement

St. Mary's reiterated Angélil's statement, saying: "Céline and René have placed the health of their babies as their highest priority. Recently, rumors have circulated that Ms. Dion has made certain demands of St. Mary's Medical Center regarding the birth of her children. All of these rumors are false."

The hospital statement continued: "At no time did Ms. Dion or her husband make any special demands or requests of the hospital. She is not scheduled at any predetermined date for her delivery She has not requested or selected any particular staff or accommodations not available to other patients The patient is being treated as any other OB patient who comes to St. Mary’s Medical Center."

The medical facility also noted, "Although the family did not ask us to do so, the hospital has chosen to enhance our security efforts during this time for the convenience and safety of all our patients and their families within this same area of our facility."

In closing, the hospital said, "We look forward to the day of Ms. Dion's delivery of her twins. During this time, we ask the public and the media respect the privacy of all of our patients and their families at our hospital."

Céline Dion Expecting Twin Boys

Come November, Céline Dion will be mom to a brood of boys.

The singer, 42, and husband René Angelil, who announced that they were expecting twins after a sixth in-vitro fertilization attempt earlier this year, confirmed on Dion's official Web site Friday that she will have two more sons.

"Céline first announced the upcoming new additions to the Angelil-Dion family back in May, and now she just revealed that she is expecting twin boys," the statement reads. "Congratulations to the happy family!"

Céline Dion Is Pregnant – with Twins!

Céline Dion's dream to expand her family has come true.

The singer, 42, is pregnant with twins after undergoing her sixth in-vitro fertilization attempt and turning to acupuncture to improve her chances of a pregnancy, her rep Kim Jakwerth confirms.

Dion, mom to 9-year-old son René-Charles, is 14 weeks along. She will find out the gender of the twins next month.

"We're ecstatic," her husband/manager René Angelil told People Magazine. "Celine is just hoping for a healthy pregnancy. She was hoping for one baby and the news that we are having two is a double blessing."

Paparazzi!: Put Up Your Dukes!

Céline Dion jokingly gets into fighting mode in Miami, Tuesday night at the premiere of her documentary Céline: Through the Eyes of the World. The film follows the singer through her yearlong Taking Chances tour, chronicling her concerts as well as her personal life.

Celine Dion Confirms Her Return to Vegas Stage

She's baa-aack.

Céline Dion will return to Las Vegas for a brand-new show next year, she recently told People magazine.

"It's happening!" Dion says of the upcoming three-year residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where she ended a five-year run of sold-out shows in 2007. "Great songs, great lyrics. I think it's going to be very touching."

Dion and husband/manager René Angélil are hoping there will be someone special in the audience when the show kicks off on March 15, 2011: a new baby.

The singer, who discusses her fertility struggles in this week's People magazine cover story is trying IVF for the fifth time in hopes of making her 9-year-old son René-Charles a big brother.

Backed by 31 musicians, Dion's new show will feature "all the songs from my repertoire that people want to hear," along with a selection of music from classic Hollywood films, she says. "I just love the big orchestra and the beautiful black-and-white movies and romance."

For this Vegas run, Dion – the world's top earner in concert and album sales for the past decade – has scheduled most of her 70 annual performances around her son's school calendar.

"I'll balance my showbiz life with my most important job: motherhood," she said.

Tickets for Dion's first 54 performances go on sale Friday, while her new concert documentary Celine: Through the Eyes of the World hits theaters February 17th.

New "We Are The World" Has Been Recorded!

We are still the world if Quincy Jones and an all-star squad of contemporary music stars have anything to sing about it.

On Monday, Jones, Lionel Richie and Wyclef assembled what appears to be the entire VIP section from Sunday night's Grammy Awards to re-record the monster selling single, which made $63 Million in sales! Can "We Are The World – 25 For Haiti" bring home that kind of bacon in the Internet Age? In only due time, we will find out.

On Monday night, The Jonas Brothers, T-Pain, Miley Cyrus, Celine Dion, Kanye West, Brian Wilson and dozens of others showed up at Henson Recording Studios, the same studio where the original was recorded 25 years ago.

Last time, the cause was starvation in Africa, in particular the devastating Ethiopian famine of 1984-85. This time it's Haiti, where last month's earthquake killed nearly 200,000 and left as many as 1 million Haitians homeless.

The new line-up of stars performing this incredible hit included Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Harry Connick, Jr., Snoop Dogg, Tony Bennett, Barbra Streisand (rumor has it she gets a solo), Josh Groban, Usher, and Jeff Bridges.

Along with Bridges, plenty of other A-listers "lend a helping hand" and their voices which will grace the music single and video, directed by Paul Haggis ('Crash,' 'In the Valley of Elah'). The video is set to air on NBC during the Friday, February 12th Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics.

Nicole Richie tweeted her excitement. "I was 4 years old in a studio watching my dad record We Are The World, & today I get to do it again," she wrote Monday afternoon.

The elder Richie spent two weeks in 1985 at Michael Jackson's Encino estate penning the track with the King of Pop. Quincy Jones, who also has a famous daughter involved in the remake – Rashida Jones, produced the song along with Grammy-winning producer Michael Omartian.

As of 2009, 20 million copies of "We Are the World" have been sold, making it the best-selling single of all-time.

No Michael Jackson this time. No Kenny Loggins, Tina Turner, Billy Joel, Stevie Wonder, Bob Dylan or Paul Simon either. At least that's the word as of now.

Several stand-ins were present at Monday's shoot whose silhouettes will reportedly be replaced by famous counterparts in post-production.

Could it be that original supergroup members Bette Middler, Dan Akroyd and Cyndi Lauper got a 21st century encore? We think not.

We'll have to wait until February 12th to find out who else performed. Stay tuned!

For your enjoyment, here is the original "We Are The World" video:

Paparazzi!: What a Spectacle

Celine Dion, Smokey Robinson, Jennifer Hudson , Usher and Carrie Underwood take a break from rehearsing their 3-D tribute to Michael Jackson, who will be honored during Sunday's Grammy Awards, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Saturday.

Grammy Performances Pushing the Envelope

Elton John and Lady Gaga kick off the show. Can they upstage the piano man's memorable Stan duet with Eminem in 2001? Beyoncé's medley is shaping up as a monster production number. Will it measure up to Beyoncé's Proud Mary duet with Tina Turner in 2008? Does this year's Taylor Swift transcend last year's Taylor Swift?

Music's most prestigious awards show is more than a podium for dispensing Grammys in highly competitive races. It's also a distinguished showcase for live performances, and that competition, while friendly, can be fierce.

Sunday's musical marathon promises back-to-back showstoppers (and a sprinkling of statues) as performers angle for a chapter in Grammy's history book.

Intensifying the pressure is TV's growing role as a critical key in promoting artists, says Grammy executive producer Ken Ehrlich, whose patience tends to be tested by demanding and mercurial stars.

"At one point, when I was getting frustrated with a couple acts who will remain nameless, someone reminded me that this is the biggest night of their year, or their careers in some cases. They want to beat past performances by Prince or Beyoncé or Paul McCartney. They feel as much pressure as we do to come through."

They may be hard-pressed to outshine the departed Michael Jackson, who resurfaces in a previously unreleased 3-D version of Earth Song, joined live on the Grammy stage by Celine Dion, Jennifer Hudson, Smokey Robinson, Carrie Underwood and Usher. (Viewers can pick up free 3-D glasses at Target through Sunday.) The film was created for Jackson's scrapped This Is It tour.

"It's going to be pretty remarkable," says Ehrlich, who saw Jackson's tour rehearsals the night before his death. "When I was thinking about how to honor him, I didn't want someone doing Beat Itor Billie Jean. This is the proper homage, considering how he felt about this song and the message it sends to fans. And he always wanted to push the envelope."

So does Ehrlich, who produced his first Grammy show 30 years ago, inaugurating a tradition of magical pairings with Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand's duet of You Don't Bring Me Flowers. Over the years, the show expanded from two hours to 3½, from a nightclub to a small auditorium to the 20,000-seat Staples Center.

"We've covered a lot of ground, but I don't feel tired," Ehrlich says.

Ask him again Monday morning. Sunday's partial menu:

Other performances include:
• Mary J. Blige and Andrea Bocelli will join voices on Bridge Over Troubled Water.
• Jeff Bridges will introduce a Les Paul tribute, How High the Moon, with guitar hero Jeff Beck and rockabilly singer Imelda May.
• Maxwell and Roberta Flack reprise her Where Is the Love and his Pretty Wings.
• Eminem and Lil Wayne join Drake on his Forever, with Blink-182's Travis Barker on drums.

• The Black Eyed Peas' I Gotta Feeling will incorporate singalong videos submitted online by fans.
• Green Day does 21 Guns, sharing the stage with the cast of Broadway's upcoming American Idiot, based on the trio's album.
• Bon Jovi will play a song chosen by fans, who can vote at www.cbs.com/grammys for Always, It's My Life or Livin' on a Prayer until the band takes the stage. (Logic suggests Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, a late addition to the Grammy bill, will pop up here for duet Who Says You Can't Go Home.)
• Country pop trio Lady Antebellum performs Need You Now.
• Pink tackles Glitter in the Air.

Watch the Grammys this Sunday, January 31st at 8:00 pm (ET) on CBS.

Celine Dion on Pregnancy: 'If It Happens, It Happens'

Though her recent in vitro fertilization treatment was unsuccessful, Celine Dion and her family are upbeat and ready to try, try again for a second child.

"I feel strong and honestly, we're very blessed," Dion, 41, tells Access Hollywood in a new interview. "We have a wonderful child, we're extremely happy."

The singer says she's not daunted by the difficulties she's faced in having a second baby. "It's not like, 'Oh my god, she's not pregnant and she's depressed,' " she continues. "You know how it works. We are great. We hope for the best, we hope to get pregnant. If it happens, it happens."

And she'll be assisted by familiar faces. "We are going back to the same people, the same doctor in New York," says the singer.

Dion and husband René Angélil, 67, also have the go-ahead from son, Rene-Charles, 8.

"When we announced to him that we were pregnant and then it didn't work out, he said, 'Wasn't it supposed to be 100 percent sure?' " Dion reveals. "I said, 'It was 100 percent, but it's nature and it didn't work out.' And he was looking at me and he said, 'Are you going to try again?' I said, 'Yeah, we are going to try again.' He knows exactly what we are doing, so he's great."

Up next for Dion, aside from working on her family, is the release of the new concert film, Celine: Through the Eyes of the World, which is scheduled to be released in the spring of 2010. The film includes footage of the singer both onstage and behind the scenes.

Celine Dion: No Longer Expecting a Baby

Celine Dion is no longer pregnant, according to a source close to the singer and her husband René Angélil.

“While she and Rene are actively trying for a baby, she is not currently expecting,” the friend revealed to In Touch magazine.

In mid-August, Celine, 41, and René, 67, conceived with the help of fertility doctors in New York. The couple’s publicist announced the pregnancy news sharing that “They are crazy in love over the news.”

The couple already has a son, René-Charles, 8.
