Nicole Scherzinger lands Las Vegas residency after Tony Award success
Nicole Scherzinger is to perform in a Las Vegas residency after lighting up Broadway and London's West End with her award-winning role in the musical Sunset Boulevard
Nicole Scherzinger is all set for a Las Vegas residency. After scooping a Tony Award for her role in Sunset BLVD, the new Queen of Broadway is a hot property and Nicole is looking ahead to Sin City, my sources tell me.
'Nicole is achieving all her career dreams this year,' the insider says. 'She's conquered Broadway and won a well-deserved Tony, but Nicole has no plans to slow down her career, not when she's in her absolute prime and in such demand.'
Earlier this year, Nicole said of a Vegas residency: 'That's the dream.' Now, that dream is looking closer to reality. The source says there have been early discussions, with Nicole hoping to grace the stage at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, like her idol Celine Dion.
Our source added: 'She's a huge fan of Celine's and would love to follow in her footsteps.' Sir Rod Stewart, Kelly Clarkson, Alanis Morissette and Jennifer Lopez are all lined up to perform on the iconic stage this year, so she'd be in good company."
It is thought a Vegas show could follow a similar format to Nicole's highly anticipated Carnegie Hall gig, which is happening this October. The former Pussycat Doll will be joined by a live band to perform hits from the worlds of Broadway and pop.
Last weekend, Nicole picked up the Best Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role in a Musical gong for playing Norma Desmond in Broadway hit Sunset BLVD. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has said Nicole is 'one of the most gifted singer-actresses I have seen perform my work… she is fearless, musically and dramatically.'
Nicole has been in the spotlight since 2001 when she was a member of American girl group Eden's Crush who were created on the American television series Popstars. She later joined the chart-topping group The Pussycat Dolls - who have enjoyed success since 2005.
The girl group last released a single in 2020 and were due to go on a tour in support of reported new music - but the pandemic derailed plans and the Pussycat Dolls disbanded in 2022.
Nicole has enjoyed success as a solo artist - releasing smash hits including the singles Don't Hold Your Breath, Your Love and Right There, featuring 50 Cent. She has also dipped her toes into the world of acting both on stage and the big screen.
She appeared in the 2012 sci-fi comedy Men in Black 3 and voices Sina, the Chieftess of Motunui, in the Mona animated films by Disney. On stage she featured in a 2010 production of Rent and a production of Cats which ran from 2014 until 2015.
Her current star turn as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard began in London in 2023 before transferring to Broadway the following day. As well as winning a Tony, the former X Factor judge also won the 2024 Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for her performance in the UK.
After performing at the 2025 Tony Awards, Nicole shared a video clip via Instagram. In a gushing post, she wrote: "This is a dream come true for me to perform As If We Never Said Goodbye @thetonyawards.
"This is my love letter to the theater. And to anyone with a deep passion for what you do, this was for you too."
She added: "What an honor to share this song with a community that has held me and lifted me. I am forever grateful."

Gino D'Acampo's TV return revealed as chef launches new series after being axed by ITV
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GINO D'Acampo's TV return has been revealed, as the chef launches a new series after being axed by ITV. The former This Morning star had been lying low since being removed from ITV programming in February. 3 Gino D'Acampo's TV return has been revealed, as the chef launches a new series after being axed by ITV Credit: Rex 3 Gino is set for a telly return too, with a show named An Italian In Malta Credit: Rex In February, Gino was accused of sexually inappropriate behaviour over 12 years and ITV has vowed not to use him in future. The married dad of three denies the claims. In May, his restaurant chain was saved when Upmarket Leisure — the company controlling the five venues — was bought out of administration — in a £5million deal that saved 400 jobs. Now, Gino is set for a telly return too, with a show named An Italian In Malta. Gino will embark on a travelogue to the Mediterranean island, and it will air in September. Of the new show, Gino told the Mirror: 'The idea is to show everyone all over the world a bit about the country - I want to find the perfect restaurant, the perfect recipe, the perfect spot, I will speak to the local people, what they cook and how they cooked 200 years ago.' And the TV chef has another project quietly going on in the background too - an acting project in Ireland. Gino will be playing the part of a mechanic for the scripted role, and continued to tell the publication: 'I am playing a part in a series, my part is this Italian-American mechanic that is always in trouble with the police or always in trouble with the law and then he became a mechanic and he's helping the main character in the show. 'This is acting now, I'm not becoming a real mechanic, I'm useless at stuff like that.' The Sun has contacted Gino's representative for comment. Gino D'Acampo makes string of smutty remarks during radio interview as he returns to public eye following ITV axe His TV return comes after he made a smutty return to the public eye — by making lewd comments about women. The Italian, 48, said during a radio interview that men do not like skinny women — as they want to have 'things to grab'. Responding when one of the presenters, named Nicole, said that she regularly dieted, he said: 'Only dogs like bones. 'A real man, he wants the meat, you know, the things to grab. Don't get too skinny, otherwise it's like, no.' During the interview he also said: 'I'm going to tell you a secret, Italian food is like Italian men, minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.' He added during the show last Wednesday: 'Now do you understand that Nicole, or do I need to explain that?' She replied: 'I think it was very clear.' Later he also told her: 'You're too pretty for radio.' Earlier, asked if he recognised a male guest in the studio, he said: 'Do I know your mum? 'Did I take your mama out for dinner or something? I meet a lot of people and usually the ones I remember are blonde, they're tall — we do an activity together.'

What happened when Bon Jovi shocked everyone with a surprise gig in Cardiff's Queen Street
Bon Jovi, the legendary American rock band, once lived up to their song, "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead", by performing three UK shows in a single day back in June, 1995. The band, consisting of Jon Bon Jovi, Richie Sambora, David Bryan and Tico Torres, played sets in Glasgow, Cardiff and London all on June 14, 1995. We've taken a trip down memory lane to that whirlwind day some 30 years ago. At the time, the band were enjoying a career high following the release of their greatest hits album, "Cross Roads", the previous year and were preparing for the launch of their sixth album, "These Days". In between shows in Barcelona and Lisbon as part of their Cross Road/These Days European tour, the band made a quick stop in the UK. They kicked off the day with a performance in front of thousands of fans at Tower Records in Glasgow, where they played an acoustic set featuring their latest single, "This Ain't A Love Song", and their iconic hit, "Livin' On A Prayer". After Glasgow, the band flew south to Cardiff's bandstand on Queen Street. Word quickly spread about their surprise appearance, drawing thousands of fans who got to see the band perform for free just a week before their scheduled show at Cardiff Arms Park. After Cardiff, Bon Jovi made a beeline for the capital, gracing the South Bank in London for the final performance of the day, where the band lit up the crowd with their electric stage presence. The three shows were a surefire way to promote the upcoming tour The rock group began their roaring 6-date UK tour just a week later - commencing at Cardiff Arms Park and continuing for three exhilarating nights at Wembley Stadium in London, followed by performances at Gateshead International Stadium and Don Valley Stadium in Sheffield. Without a doubt, the enthusiasm was palpable among band members and fans alike as seen in the exciting snapshots from all of the shows.

Nicole Scherzinger 'lands Las Vegas residency' after Pussycat Doll scoops Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical for Sunset Boulevard
is reportedly heading for Las Vegas after her award-winning success on Broadway. The former Pussycat Doll, 45, has been in 'early talks' for a Sin City residency following her Tony Award win for Best Actress in a Musical for Sunset Boulevard. A source told The Mirror: 'Nicole is achieving all her career dreams this year. She's conquered Broadway and won a well-deserved Tony, but Nicole has no plans to slow down her career, not when she's in her absolute prime and in such demand.' They added that there had been early discussions and she really hoped to follow in the footsteps of her idol Celine Dion, who famously headlined at the iconic Caesars Palace in The Colosseum. If the residency took place, Nicole would join a stellar lineup this year that includes Rod Stewart, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Lopez. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The former Pussycat Doll, 45, has been in 'early talks' for a Sin City residency following her Tony Award win for Best Actress in a Musical for Sunset Boulevard The potential Vegas show is expected to follow a similar format to her upcoming Carnegie Hall concert this October, featuring a full live band and a setlist mixing Broadway hits with pop favourites. MailOnline has contacted Nicole's reps for comment. Her performance as Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard first debuted in London in 2023 before transferring to Broadway, where it has earned her both a Tony and a Laurence Olivier Award. Composer Andrew Lloyd Webber has since gone on to describe her as 'one of the most gifted singer-actresses I have seen perform my work… she is fearless, musically and dramatically.' After last Sunday's Tony Awards, Nicole posted a video on Instagram during the ceremony where she performed a Sunset Boulevard number. In the gushing post, she wrote: 'This is a dream come true for me to perform As If We Never Said Goodbye. 'This is my love letter to the theatre. And to anyone with a deep passion for what you do, this was for you too.' She added: 'What an honour to share this song with a community that has held me and lifted me. I am forever grateful. As she accepted her Tony Award for Best Leading Actress in a Musical award, for her performance of fading Hollywood star Norma Desmond in Sunset Boulevard, Nicole said: 'Growing up I always felt like I didn't belong, but you all have made me feel like I belong, and I have come home at last.' She then thanked her fiancé Thom Evans, adding he 'believes in me when I forget to believe in myself.' She also said: 'I'm so honoured to be recognised alongside these exceptional warrior women in this category. I want to thank you all so much for making this little Hawaiian/ Ukrainian/ Filipino girl's dream come true. So proud to represent.' After she thanked her family, she then thanked composer Andrew Lloyd Webber, sharing: 'It has been such an honour to be able to create with you the past 15 years.' Nicole has defied the odds to become the babe of Broadway, when just a few years ago, it would have seemed impossible for the former Pussycat Doll to win such a gong. Following a 'flop' attempt at a solo singing career after the pop group disbanded in 2010, her stage career had also looked doomed following a vicious spat with Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber - despite her shout out to him on Sunday. Nine years ago, the former Pussycat Doll had just pulled out of his Broadway production of Cats at the last minute to take a seven-figure salary to return as a judge on ITV's X Factor. Furious Lord Webber declared that she would never 'get her Tony Award'. Lord Webber had raged: 'I'm furious because I really believe she's the most fantastically talented girl and I went out on a limb... but never mind, there'll be another girl on Broadway and Nicole will not get her Tony Award.' But following raving reviews in his new Sunset Boulevard show, Nicole has become Lloyd Webber's shining diamond on Broadway - and not only has he eaten his words, but he's become her biggest cheerleader. She has also appeared in Men in Black 3, voiced a role in Disney's Moana, and starred in stage productions of Rent and Cats.
