Celine Wraps It Up in Vegas

Celine Dion has finished her run in the Colosseum at Caeser's Palace, a venue built just for her:
LAS VEGAS (AP) - Celine Dion called it a wrap at Caesars Palace, acknowledging in her final show that pregnancy and poor early reviews almost sank her titanic five-year engagement.

As adoring fans cheered, stood and clapped through Saturday night's performance, Dion interspersed her usual numbers with emotion-filled monologues. ...

Since opening in March 2003, Dion's show, "A New Day ... " grossed more than $400 million and was seen by nearly 3 million fans. Dion said one fan had seen her Las Vegas show more than 100 times. Tickets for the final show were for sale on EBay for as much as $1,899.

Now, Celine, go have a cheeseburger - you look absolutely skeletal. (You can get a good one at Cheeseburgers in Paradise across the street at the former Aladdin and now the garishly decorated Planet Hollywood).
