Former teen idol Donny Osmond is eyeing a possible residency at a Las Vegas resort. The seventies pop star is in talks to follow in the footsteps of Sin City residents Celine Dion, Toni Braxton and Sir Elton John. Osmond says, "I've got some ideas I'd like to develop."It's all about as much variety in 90 minutes as you can possibly do without bringing in the kitchen sink. You bring in the toys, all that kind of stuff, the production, and then give them some personality and some great music."I do concerts and I look out at the audience and primarily it's the Puppy Love audience, the ones who grew up in the '70s with me and the Donny & Marie Show."But because of the Weird Al (video) and appearances on Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Leno, it brings in a wider, different demographic. And they all know me for certain different things." Donny continues to have have chart success releasing a christmas album as well as a album of his favourite Broadway songs.

Osmond also had a stint on Broadway in September 2006 when he appared in Beauty And the Beast as Gaston. He was only scheduled to perform for nine weeks but due to popular demand he extended his run until December 24th.
