Dion Returns to Caesars Palace After Labyrinthitis
Las Vecas-Celine Dion resumes performing at Caesars Palace following a viral infection that caused dizziness and six show cancellations last month. Dion, 38, says she is 95 percent better and notes a 500th Caesars show is planned as a charity benefit for ten local groups in New York. She faced balance issues from labyrinthitis but now performs with caution. Geena Davis also earned an UN award for portraying a female president while ABC shelved Commander in Chief for May sweeps. In Minneapolis, Garrison Keillor withdraws from a May 21 fundraiser over a dispute about a proposed football field on Nicollet Island, tied to DeLaSalle High School plans.
