Burlesque: the Movie

Posted by Colleen Kane

A film about burlesque called, er, Burlesque, is set to start filming next January. It's written by Steven Antin, the brother of Pussycat Dolls founder Robert Antin, and it's rumored that the star will be a first-time leading lady.

So which retro-fabulous celebrity is slated to star? It's not who Scanner readers might be hoping...

Christina Aguilera. You were thinking Dita Von Teese, weren't you? Also said to be attached to the project is pro dancer Julianne Hough, of Dancing With the Stars, who will play a pregnant showgirl.
