BETTE MIDLER - MIDLER INTIMIDATED BY VEGAS STAGE

BETTE MIDLER is terrified about taking over from CELINE DION's Las Vegas show when the Canadian singer stands down next year (08), and has warned fans she may suffer from stage fright. The actress/singer will begin rehearsing for the residency at the famous Caesars Palace Colosseum venue in October (07), with her first show scheduled to take place in February 2008. But the 61-year-old admits she is "a little intimidated" by the huge stage, adding, "I might not be able to fill it on my lonesome."
