Christina Aguilera has signed on to make her film debut, co-starring opposite Cher, for the movie BURLESQUE.
Xtina will play an ambitious small-town Iowa girl with a big voice who comes of age in a neo-burlesque club in Hollywood while Cher’s character is a former dancer who struggles to keep the club open and gives the young girl a chance to shine, all while saving her dying establishment in the meantime. It’ll be Cher’s first role since TEA WITH MUSSOLINI in 1999, but enough about that old bag…
Christina Aguilera in a movie… one can only hope it is some mix between MOULIN ROUGE and Aguilera’s “Dirrty” video. Oh, Christina… you naughty, naughty girl. One can also hope that one day someone just makes a movie about Christina Aguilera’s breasts. The Kidd would easily drop 10 bucks to sit and watch that display… a few times a week during one of those matinees where I have the theatre all to myself. Quick… someone get my agent on the phone… let’s make this happen.
As for this movie, I remember already seeing this movie back when it was called COYOTE UGLY and it took place in a bar and it wasn’t ruined by the sight of Cher… but that one got me off then, so I imagine this one can do the same now. Hmmm… where did I put that DVD? Carry on… there’s nothing to see here.

I see Christina as a kind of sultry, snappy and wise “Harlow” character if she would only .. Get what is a well trained dramatic, sensual and comedic performance, plus to appropriately take a violent grapefruit smash in the face by a James Cagney gangster type. But I guess Cher and her will do a anti-man film as Cher is in mourning for her daugher and birth of still messed-up, weirdo star’s child son.. and women who run their own strip joint don’t want to take their work home.
