celine dion 20 years ago her take on the theme song of beauty and the beast helped
make her a mega star and with that film now being re-released in 3d by our parent company disney
celine is bigger and busier than ever nightline's juju chain caught up with her in las vegas and
juju boy what a balancing act that big show and three boys absolutely and you know celine has
always been open about her infertility so it's that much more amazing to see her in action with
her three sons her twins are already more than a year old and we talked about how fiercely she
protects time with her kids but she also gave us a rare glimpse literally behind the curtain
as she transforms herself into that full-throated five octave soprano who gives you goosebumps
celine dion is backstage and about to face a packed house at caesar's palace
somehow she manages to balance all the glitz and glam with the dirty diapers in the homework
i still love what i do but not at any price i'm not talking about money i'm talking about
what my my family needs right i want to be there for my children
but juggling divahood and mommahood is not easy i usually don't walk with my babies in heels
my kids get very upset when i put makeup on okay they're like oh mommy where
don't go wherever i understand yeah my my son rc my oldest was always like
mommy's going to stay home she has bare feet her hair is in a ponytail
and she's going to be playing with me all day that was his favorite outfit mommy in her pjs
after the birth of her twin boys dion jumped right back into rehearsals for her vegas show
within 12 weeks somebody told me that you're still nursing yeah one baby almost done though
one of my twins stopped nursing at nine and a half months nelson is 14 months and he's still
nursing it's a snuggle more than anything it's a place that has no name it's a place that we own
that nobody can visit except the child and the mom when the bond is happening it relaxes you
so the moment is extraordinary and it's amazing the bond with her babies is reinforced by the
bond with her mother who was backstage the night we paid a visit does celine's mom get nervous
you must be so proud to hear her singing
i asked your mother if she gets nervous for you and she said always
i would be very nervous for my children as well i'm nervous for my children every time they take a
step or he goes to school she's probably worrying right now in the house saying i decide to go
to see the show with the twins tonight i don't have my makeup on and there's a camera rolling
i'm going to hear it i'm going to hear it tomorrow and she's going to give it to me grandma is mostly
off stage but celine's son r.c appears on stage on video anyway as a mini james bond it was really
fun um my dad asked me if he wanted to do james bond so i said sure would you ever let him go into
show business if my husband takes care of him yes he's really he's a cool kid hopefully he'll pick
the right thing that that will bring the best of him uh his happiness and will be supporters for
sure even if it's show business hi my name is bell what's yours rc rc and this is my friend
tonight rc and his brothers are celebrating a major milestone in their mother's meteoric career
it's been 20 years and beauty and the beast is being re-released this week in 3-d
i can't believe that this song is so known
and it's mine the first song that was played on the radio a lot was
where does my heart beat now people knew the song but did not know who was singing the song
that's a pretty voice i wonder who that is yeah really beauty and the beast has started my career
and celine credits her family for making that career possible the youngest of 14 children she
keeps her loved ones very close her husband has managed her career since she was 12. the stage
manager is her brother the tour manager her stepson and the live-in babysitter
her beloved sister it's a family affair it is a family affair and it makes it possible for me
since you're 12 years old if you decide to spend all your life doing your work
it's amazing to be able to surround yourself with people that make you feel at your best
and she's reached that fabulous point in her career that any working mom would envy
before the twins she used to perform 200 vegas shows a year can you imagine
but now she does just 70 and it's all built around her son rc's schedule who by the way
she took to see beauty and the beast and he told me he loved it i bet you he did boy that is such a
strong family that is fantastic it is family first for celine dion okay gigi chang thanks very much
