Mario Lopez with Celine Dion: Dieting, Twins, and Michael Jackson

March 24, 2011 Celebrity Highlights

Las Vegas superstar Celine Dion talked with "Extra" host Mario Lopez about her new Caesars Palace show, including her tribute to Michael Jackson, and getting back into shape after having twins.

"It feels great to be back," Dion told Mario. "It's definitely a totally different show, it feels more glamorous and very chic. And you know me and the fashion, the dresses..."

Did she have to hit the gym to fit into those dresses? "No, no workout. Just breastfeeding the babies, and I think it's in my genes, and I'm just like that."

As for the Michael Jackson tribute in her show, Dion said she wanted to honor her "inspiration," saying when she met him, he asked about what it was like doing a show in Las Vegas. "We were actually in this room and he said, 'Celine, I just want to know how it is to be here, how you do it every night? Does it make you happy?' I think he wanted eventually come and perform here. It was an amazing honor to meet with him and he was an amazing inspiration to me."
