Jason Isaacs, the British actor known for his prolific career alongside Hollywood’s biggest names, got candid about the troubling…
Nicole Scherzinger 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.

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.

In her acceptance speech, Nicole thanked her fiancé Thom Evans, adding he ‘believes in me when I forget to believe in myself’
Nicole has received rave reviews for her performance as Norma, a faded Hollywood starlet who refuses to accept her star has waned
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, she had just pulled out of Lord Webber’s Broadway production of Cats at the last minute to take a seven-figure salary to return as a judge on ITV’s X Factor (pictured with host Dermot O’Leary, Sharon Osbourne, Simon Cowell and Louis Walsh in 2017)

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.
