Christina Aguilera is set to star in her first ever movie - 'Burlesque'.
According to Variety, the singing sensation will play the role of a small town girl who makes a success of herself at a burlesque club in LA. And Screen Gems, the company behind the project, are thrilled to have Aguilera on board.
"I couldn't be more excited, as this was a project written with her in mind," said Clint Culpepper, president of Screen Gems.
As reported recently, the movie was written by Steven Antin & Susannah Grant (Erin Brockovich) and will be directed by Antin (whose choreographer brother Robin founded the Pussycat Dolls back in their burlesque days).
