Celine unviels wax figure, 500th show in Vegas

After 18 years of touring around the world, Celine Dion has embraced a life of domesticity – sort of. OK, so she doesn't really do much vacuuming these days. "It doesn't mean I won't do it again, but I'm fortunate that I don't have to do it now," says the singer, who reportedly earned an estimated $38.5 million in 2005 and has sold more than 175 million albums over the years. Dion and her husband René Angélil have settled into a happy routine in Las Vegas, where they live in a suburban three-bedroom home 30 minutes off the strip with a little guy who is the world to them: 5-year-old son René-Charles. "I love being a mom – it relaxes me to read stories to him, do finger painting, play with Play-Doh," says Dion. "I think people have a hard time imagining I can have a normal life, but I do." Well, that might be stretching it. Four or five nights a week Dion sells out the 4,148-seat theater at Caesars Palace, where fans pay up to $225 to see the five-time Grammy winner perform songs like her 1998 hit "My Heart Will Go On." Sunday, May 7 will mark her 500th show. "It's like I blinked and it's 500," says Dion, 38, who has extended the three-year contract, reportedly for $100 million, that she signed in 2001 to the end of 2007. Even fellow stars like Michael Jackson and Britney Spears have been to the show. [People]
