Show: Serena Henry at the Vegas Room
Have you ever gone to a concert and been blown away by the backup singers? Serena Henry has been supporting performances (and stealing the spotlight) from headliners like Gladys Knight, Smokey Robinson and Donny & Marie for years on the Strip and on national tours, and she has recently performed with Vegas acts like Clint Holmes and David Perrico’s Pop Strings Orchestra. Henry takes over the Vegas Room January 28-30, singing some of her personal favorites from a range of artists like The Beatles, Roberta Flack and Justin Timberlake.
EXCLUSIVE: Love can strike twice just ask Marie Osmond.
The entertainer remarried her first husband Steve Craig in 2011, which was 26 years after their divorce. I think I’m crazy and he tolerates me, Osmond, 61, joked to Fox News. But seriously, it’s the greatest thing in the world. I think you learn what’s important. You learn to let go. We wanted to move forward, communicate better and fix the areas [in our relationship] that needed fixing.
The Grammy nominee was just 22 and fresh off her variety show Donny & Marie when she tied the knot with Craig, whom she had met as a teen, in 1982. Less than a year later, the couple welcomed a son named Stephen.

Multi-talented entertainer Marie Osmond has had a successful career that spans over 50 years and in a recent interview, she testified that it was God who helped her avoid the childhood curse that followed many young entertainers in Hollywood.
Osmond recently stepped down from the daytime television show The Talk to focus on other projects. Before that gig, Osmond and her brother, Donny Osmond, had an 11-year performance contract in Las Vegas and her popularity continues.
In a recent interview with Fox News, the Paper Roses singer opened up about how she managed to have a long and successful career in show business despite some people s efforts to dissuade her or dismiss her as being yet another young child star commodity.
