MONTREAL - Celine Dion didn't make the Quebec premiere of her new movie because she is in a New York hospital trying to conceive another child.

That's what her husband Rene Angelil said after the French-language premiere of "Celine: Through the Eyes of the World" in Montreal on Thursday evening.

Angelil says Dion also won't be at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics on Friday night, despite rumours she would perform there.

Angelil says Dion is trying to have a baby for the fifth time -- because the first four times at in-vitro fertilization didn't work.

He says he is going to New York to join her.

The couple already have a nine-year-old son, but Dion said on "The Oprah Winfrey Show'' on Wednesday she is determined to have a second child.

As for her movie, it chronicles her "Taking Chances'' world tour, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the star and her family as well as ample show footage.

The film will have its English-language premiere in Miami on Tuesday and be released in theatres in Canada and internationally the next day.
