Once upon a time, a Las Vegas residency was the musical equivalent of a retirement home — a place for washed-up entertainers to spend the twilight of their career. Not any more. Celine Dion and Britney Spears proved they were a viable option for off-cycle pop stars and didn’t preclude future world tours. Jennifer Lopez and Mariah Carey added a little prestige to the concept, while Lady Gaga’s recent announcement was met with excitement instead of the despair it would have generated even five years ago.

The latest diva with her sights set on Sin City is Gwen Stefani. According to US Weekly, the 48-year-old is close to announcing a residency at Planet Hollywood. She set tongues wagging by dropping by J.Lo’s show on the weekend, posting an Instagram picture of the pair backstage. “@jlo your Vegas show was so good!” she wrote, including the hashtags #eyecandy #inspired #jennyfromtheblock #justagirlfromanaheim. This feels like a good time for Gwen to set up shop in Vegas. She is between albums and has more than enough hits to fill a 90-minute show.
