Nicole Scherzinger lands Las Vegas residency after Tony Award success
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."

The simple eye trick to fall asleep in seconds if you keep waking up at 3am: 'You've saved my life'
Millions have been left stunned over a bizarre-but-brilliant sleep hack that promises to knock you out in seconds. And all it involves is moving your eyes around. Jenna Coak, an American content creator known for testing wellness tips, has gone viral after posting a clip now viewed 2.6 million times. In the video, she explained how a trick she saw on Instagram helped her fall back asleep in the middle of the night, something she says she normally struggles with every single night. 'I saw this trick on Instagram for falling back asleep after you wake up in the middle of the night,' she told her followers. 'I was like no way does this actually work. But I've tried it a couple of nights in a row and it literally works.' In the clip, Jenna, who wears an Aura ring to track her sleep, revealed her shocking data showing how often she normally wakes during the night. 'I usually wake up this much. It's insane I know,' she said, flashing a screenshot of her restless stats. Jenna Coak, an American content creator said the trick is: 'You look to the left, you look to the right, you look up, you look down, then they go round in a circle one way, and then you go the other way. And that's it. You just repeat it until you fall back asleep.' 'This was the first night I tried it. So much more restful. Second night it also worked!' Her fail-safe hack couldn't be more low-effort. 'This is what you do. I'm going to demonstrate it,' she said, eyes closed. 'You look to the left, you look to the right, you look up, you look down, then they go round in a circle one way, and then you go the other way. 'And that's it. You just repeat it until you fall back asleep.' To prove her theory, Jenna said she tested the technique multiple nights in a row. 'One night I swear I did it twice and I remember thinking 'no way is this going to work',' Jenna said. 'And the next thing I knew it was 7.30am and my alarm was going off.' To prove her theory, Jenna said she tested the technique multiple nights in a row and recorded it on her Aura ring (pictured) Jenna claims there's a science-based reason behind the success of the technique. 'I obviously looked at the science behind it, and it sounds like it activates our parasympathetic nervous system because it tricks your brain into thinking it's in the REM cycle,' she explained. 'It feels like some type of voodoo magic.' Her followers were blown away by the trick, flooding the comments with praise, personal hacks and pleas for it to work on small children. 'Yes! We do this in therapy and it regulates your nervous system,' one viewer confirmed. 'Can someone tell my baby this hack?' another joked. 'You've saved my life,' a third wrote. And others who tried it were instantly convinced. 'I am chronically up every night, and I tried this last night,' wrote one fan. 'I am sold! It was the weirdest thing. I was very aware of how I was moving my eyes around, and then that would be the last thing I remembered. Thanks for sharing!' Another user added: 'I close my eyes, and say 'nothing, nothing, nothing,' over and over again in my mind. 'It keeps all the intrusive thoughts away. Works every time.'

Mel B holds 'spiritual' second wedding to Rory McPhee in romantic Moroccan ceremony
Melanie Brown has said 'I do' again with her husband Rory McPhee in a stunning private wedding in Morocco - after their recent wedding in London. Mel B has wed her husband, Rory McPhee, for a second time. The Spice Girls star and hairdresser Rory held their official ceremony in the UK just weeks earlier, exchanging vows at the iconic St Paul's Cathedral. However last night, Mel and Rory married for a second time in Morocco during a spectacular celebration that paid tribute to her fiery roots. The pair were surrounded by their dearest friends and relatives, including Melanie's three children from former marriages, along with her sibling Danielle Brown and Rory's loved ones. Among the guest list was Melanie's Spice Girls bandmate, Melanie C, who had been unable to make the St Paul's event due to work commitments as part of her tour, the Mirror reports. Reflecting on the celebrations, Melanie C said: "What a weekend!". The singer had previously mentioned her follow-up ceremony would be "sexy." Now, inside the second wedding can be revealed. Mel's breathtaking bridal gown sparkled beneath the Marrakesh sun with red crystals, created in partnership with Evelie and Justin Alexander. The duo exchanged vows once again at their favourite place, the Selman Hotel. Unlike her majestic ivory dress in London, Melanie opted for something more daring, showing her own personal style. Previously, Melanie was steered by wedding dress guru Caroline Black from Evelie Bridal, who proudly assisted the chart-topping star in selecting the ideal Josephine Scott gown for their UK ceremony. Meanwhile, she chose American designer, Justin Alexander to help with her Moroccan dress reflecting her current life, as she is splitting her time between Leeds and the US, where she is working on America's Got Talent. Evelie Bridal owner Caroline said: "For Mel's Morocco wedding dress, we focused on trying Justin Alexander gowns with a little extra sparkle. Mel loved the idea of a red dress—something bold, with lots and lots of shimmer—but it also had to feel light and easy to move in." "We drew inspiration from a variety of dresses she tried on at Evelie South Kensington, then went back and forth brainstorming with Justin Alexander and his design team. After several conversations and sketches, the first design took shape. Mel gave us clear feedback on what she liked and what she didn't, and the final result was beautiful. Mel had such a strong sense of what she wanted—it was a joy working with her and Justin Alexander to bring her vision to life." Melanie and Caroline collaborated with Creative Director Justin Warshaw and Chief of Design Terri Hilferty to craft the stunning, sheer gown that exuded glamour and featured flares. The silhouette was entirely adorned with hand-fitted red crystals and bulge beads, creating a captivating floating effect across the bodice and skirt. The team of six artists took a staggering 850 hours to complete the dress. The dress's sweetheart neckline was embellished with red crystal detailing, gradually spreading across the corset. Additionally, asymmetrical detailing at the waistline added another layer of depth. In typical Mel B style, a daring side split revealed a glimpse of her legs, with crystal beading scattered down the length of her skirt. On the other hand, the back showcased a lace-up corset and red ribbons, highlighting her gym-toned physique before eventually cascading into a magical cathedral-length train. The musician finished off her look with a Moroccan-inspired veil, custom-draped in mocha tulle and highlighted with red crystals to reflect the dress's adornments. The warm-toned veil blended flawlessly with the dress, providing a radiant, skin-toned glow. Crystals accented the veil's crown and delicately trickled down the back drape, with additional sparkle scattered throughout the train to complete the look. Melanie's husband, Rory, previously wore tartan and a kilt at the St Paul's ceremony, opted for UK based designer, Alexander McQueen wearing a traditional black tie look. Speaking about the design, Justin Warshaw, CEO and Creative Director of Justin Alexander, said: "We had such an enjoyable time working with Mel. Every meeting felt like a creative burst of energy and laughter, and that spirit is absolutely woven into the dresses we created together. "There was so much joy and trust in the process, and creating these dresses together felt like a true celebration of her love story and personal style."
