First pictures of Christina Aguilera, Kristen Bell and Cher in Burlesque

We’ve been reporting news on BURLESQUE for a while now, but we haven’t see anything from it until today.  Now we get four production stills from the film and it looks like a fun musical.  It has an incredible cast that includes Cher, Christina Aguilera, Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough, Peter Gallagher, Alan Cumming, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci with Steven Antin directing.  The story is about a small town girl that leaves her troubled future for the bright lights of Los Angeles, only to get hired on as a waitress in a Burlesque club.  But after setting her sights on performing on that stage, she encounters a jealous rival (Bell), a smart stage manager (Tucci) and a suave entrepreneur (Dane).

This is a big movie for a lot of reasons, but most notably it features Cher’s return to the acting spotlight and Aguilera’s first attempt to act.  BURLESQUE is set to hit theaters on November 24th.

Eric Dane Joins Christina Aguilera and Kristen Bell in Burlesque

McSteamy himself, Eric Dane, is going to be starring alongside Christina Aguilera and Kristen Bell in the big budget musical, BURLESQUE.  Dane will be playing a high-powered businessman that wants to buy the club and win Aguilera’s heart.  Along with Aguilera and Bell, the film also stars Stanley Tucci and Cher.

It’s no secret that I can’t stand ‘Grey’s Anatomy’, but I actually don’t mind Eric Dane.  He has absolutely nothing to work with on that show, but overall he seems like a charming enough actor.  This role seems like more of the same for him, but I wonder if they’re going to let him belt out a song or two.

Kristen Bell joins Christina Aguilera in Burlesque

Kristen Bell and Christina Aguilera Burlesque

Veronica Mars alum Kristen Bell will be playing Christina Aguilera’s rival in the upcoming film BURLESQUE.  In it, Aguilera is a small town girl trying to find success in an LA burlesque club.   The movie also stars Cher as a nightclub owner and Stanley Tucci as Aguilera’s mentor.

This is an interesting choice because Aguilera is a great singer/dancer, but an unproven actress while Bell is a great actress but an unproven singer/dancer.  I’m interested to see how they work together onscreen.  Bell is one of the better young starlets out there even though I’m not a big fan of her Heroes character.  So let’s hope she can keep the whining down to a minimum.
