In what could be a brilliant casting move, sources tell EW.com that Cher is in talks to star alongside Christina Aguilera in the Screen Gems’ musical Burlesque. The veteran singer/actress (remember she did win an Oscar for Moonstruck) would play the owner of the burlesque club where Christina works. The film, to be directed by Steve Antin — the brother of Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin — centers on a small-town girl who discovers her dreams at a Cabaret-like venue. Cher’s character, sources say, will serve as Aguilera’s mentor. Do you think she’ll be giving out fashion tips?

LOVE. IT.
Oh my gosh oh my gosh I cannot WAIT FOR THIS… I love them both!!! I will be first in line to see this movie… and yes Cher is an AWESOME actress, I loved her in Mermaids as the mom of 2 girls (a young Christina Ricci and Winona Ryder).. everyone should see that movie as well.
this could be either really good or guilty pleasure really bad…
SWEET!
This film just got upgraded to a must-see movie!
This could work. I have been waiting for Cher to come back hard on the big screen!
I am so excited! I work for a burlesque troupe in South Florida and it is just booming lately – this film will do wonders for the art! See our youtube video at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DzG2dM0OCyA

Cher = Amazing
Christina = not great
Cher + Christina = I’m scared for my life.
Seriously, why would they put a legend in a movie with a stupid girl who think’s she’s all that?
Amazing roll for Christina. Would not pay to see Cher though. Too much plastic surgery. She looks like Micky Rourke now.
Sounds really good, Cher is really good and Christina I giver her props for not jumping into acting a long time ago, she waited and this seems to be the right time, good luck to this movie and cannot wait to see both in it.
How old is Cher, She is ancient. Does she even use botox? http://www.hotguyswanted.com/
