    DION EXPECTING

    Celine Dion is expecting her second child in May, her Montreal publicist confirmed Tuesday.

    The former Caesars Palace headliner conceived after fertility treatments, as she did with son Rene Charles, born Jan. 25, 2001.

    The Canadian singing star has hinted that she intends to return to Las Vegas after a baby break.

    A spokeswoman said Dion and her husband, Rene Angelil, were informed Monday and "are full of joy."

    Earlier this year, Angelil, 67, had a heart procedure.
