NO J.LO RESIDENCY … YET! A top Caesars Entertainment official told me that the hotel group would love to have J.Lo perform 30 shows a year at the Colosseum, but her financial demands make it an impossible business transaction. It was rumored that she charged well more than $1 million for her 80-minute NYE show. She almost missed the midnight countdown, joining it just seven seconds before the confetti and balloons fell over the invited audience.
“There’s no way the numbers can work out for a residency with just 4,000 seats. She’s an arena act now, but hopefully one day she’ll see the advantages of staying put in one place for less money than touring,” I was told, putting an end to wild speculation that she’s en route to Las Vegas for a residency.
MARIAH RUMORS: As a result, I’m getting early rumors now in earnest that in two weeks, Caesars will announce five-time Grammy Award winner Mariah Carey as the new headliner at the Colosseum with her hit songs “We Belong Together,” “One Sweet Day” and many, many, many more. (Expect to see Boyz II Men from the Mirage drop by as a surprise, if true.)
No comment whatsoever from Caesars execs that Mariah, who has sold more than 200 million records worldwide, will be named to fill in some of the vacant dates while Celine Dion is away still caring for her husband Rene Angelil battling throat cancer. Mariah just separated from husband Nick Cannon. They have two children together.
