Donny and Marie Osmond Headed for Las Vegas

Donny and Marie Osmond are headed to Las Vegas for an eight-month engagement at the Flamingo Hotel, according to Variety. They will begin performances of a new variety show on September 9. Pop star Toni Braxton, the hotel's current headliner, is scheduled to end her run August but has been on hiatus in recent weeks because of illness.

Donny and Marie's 90-minute show, which marks the first time in 29 years the siblings will perform an extended engagement in Las Vegas, will showcase the Osmonds' greatest hits in a multimedia production and employ a large cast of dancers, Variety reports.

Most recently, the duo jointly hosted NBC's Miss USA pageant from Las Vegas, and they will co-host America's Favorite Mom on Mother's Day. Donny appeared on Broadway as Gaston in Beauty and the Beast and returned for the musical's final performance while Marie, who gained new visibility after appearing on ABC's Dancing with the Stars, is developing a syndicated talk show to debut in fall 2009.
