Erika Jayne believes she's getting a 'shot at a new life' with Vegas residency
Erika Jayne's upcoming residency at Mandalay Bay's House of Blues in Las Vegas is her time to 'Bet It All On Blonde,' as it's appropriately titled.
The singer first appeared on the sixth season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, and has been a main cast member ever since. The show followed her navigating her musical career, among other dramas, and this residency is set to run from 25 August to 16 December.
The name of the residency, Bet It All On Blonde, means "an absolute shot at a new life," Erika told Today. She's excited to perform and describes it in six words, "fantasy, love, escape, glitz, glamour, and fun," and noted the show will have five and a half costume changes.

That year she divorced from her husband, Tom Girardi, in November. Just a month later the two were sued for fraud and embezzlement. The lawsuit claimed that Tom and his law firm embezzled millions of dollars that were meant to go to the surviving relatives of the Lion Air 610 plane crash in 2018 where all 189 passengers and crew died after the plane crashed into the Java Sea.
The suit also claimed that Erika was only filing for divorce as a "sham attempt to fraudulently protect" the couple's money that they supposedly stole. In 2021, Erika denied these allegations on an episode of Real Housewives. A year later, she was dismissed from the lawsuit, and her ex-husband was disbarred. According to the Los Angeles Times, "L.A. County Judge Richard Fruin found no evidence Monday of wrongdoing on Jayne's part."

Erika's music career started when she released her first single, Roller Coaster, on 1 January 2007. It peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart. Since then she's released an album and various singles, even headlining a 13-city tour across the United States in 2018. She was slated to play Roxie Hart in the Broadway production of Chicago, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the show was shut down after two months.
