When the audition doesn\u2019t go so well Guillermo informs Stefani, \u201cI\u2019m dancing like no one is watching.\u201d \u201cYou should dance like everyone is watching,\u201d she replies.<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Guillermo convinces Stefani to add him to her team and he joins the singer during her actual performance. While he\u2019s not invited to be one of her traditional back-up dancers, Guillermo is given a banana costume for the live rendition of \u201cHollaback Girl.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Stefani is currently headlining the Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood Resort &amp; Casino. The show, \u201cGwen Stefani \u2013 Just A Girl,\u201d runs through November. \u201cTo be able to do a show in Vegas is such an incredible honor,\u201d Stefani said in a statement. \u201cGrowing up in Anaheim, California, I could never have imagined one day having my own Vegas residency. I have been so fortunate to tour throughout my career, but to create a show for Vegas is something I\u2019ve&nbsp; never experienced and I can\u2019t wait.\u201d Tickets are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.caesars.com\/planet-hollywood\/shows\/gwen-stefani\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">on sale<\/a> now.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-news\/watch-guillermo-gwen-stefani-back-up-dancer-kimmel-856758\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">via:: Rolling Stone<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gwen Stefani is in the midst of an extended Las Vegas residency at the Zappos Theater and apparently her own back-up dancers aren\u2019t quite hitting the mark. \u201cShe\u2019s there doing shows until November 2nd and we got word that she\u2019s in need of dancers for the show,\u201d Jimmy Kimmel told his audience during Jimmy Kimmel [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-487793","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-music-news"},"acf":[],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-06-24 06:44:23","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"distributor_meta":false,"distributor_terms":false,"distributor_media":false,"distributor_original_site_name":"KQZR - The Reel","distributor_original_site_url":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr","push-errors":false,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487793","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487793"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487793\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487793"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487793"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/alwaysmountaintime.com\/kqzr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487793"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
