Celine Dion has given birth to twin boys.

Celine Dion has given birth to twin boys. The ‘My Heart Will Go On’ singer is believed to have delivered the two babies via Caesarean section on Saturday (23.10.10) at St Mary’s Medical Centre, in West Palm Beach, Florida, at 11.11am and 11.12am. The fraternal twins ‘ which means they are non-identical siblings ‘ weighed in at 5lbs 4oz and 5lbs 10oz. Although they are both healthy, the babies will spend the next few days in incubators because they were born premature. The due date had been in November. A representative for the 42-year-old pop star ‘ who also has a nine-year-old son Rene-Charles with her husband Rene Angelil – said: ‘Celine, Rene and their son Rene-Charles are thrilled . Celine is resting now and they plan to discuss what to name the boys when she wakes up ‘Rene-Charles has been to the hospital to visit his brothers and is just so excited they are here.’ The twins were conceived via in-vitro fertilisation (IVF) just as Celine and 68-year-old Rene’s first child Rene-Charles was. The Canadian singer previously revealed she underwent six gruelling courses of IVF to get pregnant again and admitted the process was ‘mentally exhausting’. She said: “I feel like I’ve been pregnant for over a year. I never gave up. But I can tell you that it was physically and mentally exhausting.”

British Girl Wins America’s Perfect Teen

British Girl Wins America's Perfect Teen

British Girl Wins America’s Perfect Teen. This year’s contest for “America’s Perfect Teen” ended up with more drama than usual as a British-born, Indian-origin 16-year-old was declared the winner, much to the chagrin of the American participants of the pageant. Anysha Panesar, from Wales in the United Kingdom, won the contest while she was on a holiday with her family in Kissimmee, Florida. Her victory, however, did not go down well with her co-contestants, who were left fuming at the fact that she was not even American. Meanwhile, the pageant organizers pacified the “outraged” parents of about 30 contestants, saying that Panesar had not broken any rules participating in the competition, which includes girls as young as 13, fighting for the prize money of $2,000, in addition to a broadcasting scholarship in the U.S. worth $18,000. Panesar lives in the Llangan village in Vale of Glamorgan and studies at the Howells School in Cardiff. She plans to pursue her U.S. scholarship for broadcasting after she finishes her A-levels.

Gipsy Kings Rock Miami

Gipsy Kings Rock Miami. The Gipsy Kings impressed a packed crowd Sunday night at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Hollywood, Florida. The band, known in Europe for its “gitano” music, and in America for their expressive cover of the Eagles’ ‘Hotel California,’ jammed with an eclectic crowd at the Hard Rock Live. The audience was a testament to their staying power as a musical icon, with fans from three generations dancing in the aisles. They played classics like ‘Djobi Djoba’ and ‘Un Amor’ during an hour-long performance that included solos from each of the band’s members. After they left, the crowd stayed put, begging for an encore. The Gipsy Kings returned to the stage and rocked an extended version of their signature tune ‘Bamboleo’ to a standing ovation. For those who missed the Gipsy Kings in the Magic City, the band will make a few stops this month in Texas before flying to London in June.
