Las Vegas — Perched atop the performer hierarchy in Las Vegas, where she holds court in the Caesars Palace Colosseum, five-time Grammy winner Celine Dion could quite easily sit on her laurels.

But the 45-year-old mother of three is using her influence on new projects, working on a new album due out in October and co-producing the show of a fellow French Canadian songstress setting up shop across the street at Bally's.

"I'm not looking to make friends in the business because I want to do my job, I want to have a good time and go home to my family," Dion said in a recent interview with The Associated Press, sitting on stage next to a protege with whom she casually chatted in French. "But Veronic – it's a different scenario. I'm not quite sure why. I want her to be my friend. I love her. I respect her very, very much.

Celine Dion has unveiled her new fraternal twin boys, Eddy and Nelson, in a new cover story for her native Canada's Hello! Magazine.

The twins, born in October, had Dion gushing. "They're so cute, it's incredible," she said. "When we look at them we can't believe it, and to have them here at home - it's all we could wish for."

"They're feeding every two hours now," she continued. "It's going well. I don't get a lot of sleep, yes, for sure I'm tired, but that's what I want."

Dion, who with husband Rene Angelil has a nine-year old son named named Rene-Charles, spent years trying to get pregnant again, going through IVF treatments and suffering a miscarriage. So the couple wanted to give the twins meaningful names.

"We met with Nelson Mandela and spent some time with him at his house when we started Celine's world tour," Rene said.

Celine Dion revealed that she was originally expecting triplets but lost one of her babies early in the pregnancy. According to E! Online, the 42-year-old singer, who gave birth to twin boys on Saturday, October 23, disclosed the sad news during an interview with French news station.

During the chat, which was conducted prior to the twins' births, Celine said that a few days after learning that she was having a bun in the oven, one of the babies' heart stopped beating. "He chose to let go to give space to his brothers to grow," the "Because You Loved Me" singer said.

Celine who delivered premature twins was allowed to leave St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach, Florida and bring her newly-born babies home to her and husband Rene Angelil's mansion in Jupiter island, Florida on Thursday, October 28.

Six days after delivering the babies, Celine finally revealed her boys' names after considering "nearly 15,000 names.

Celine Dion was pregnant with triplets. The singer gave birth to twin boys via Cesarean section last Saturday, October 23 but has revealed she was initially expecting three sons after conceiving via in vitro fertilization (IVF).

In an interview with a French news station, which was recorded before she delivered the tots, Celine said, "He chose to let go to give space to his brothers to grow."

It is not yet known at what stage of the pregnancy she lost the third child. The 42-year-old music star and her 68-year-old husband Rene Angelil, who also have a nine-year-old son Rene-Charles together, underwent six in vitro fertilization (IVF) attempts before Celine got pregnant.

The couple have named the boys Eddy and Nelson, after record producer Eddy Marnay and human rights campaigner and former South African President Nelson Mandela, who Celine met two years ago. Celine's representative told People, "Eddy is a major...
