Christina Aguilera and Cher to act in a movie together. Yikes!
One is a Grammy-winning superstar with no acting experience and a penchant for displaying her massive boobies on a regular basis, the other is a legendary musical artist and Oscar-winning actress who likes to, in the simplest terms, dress provocatively. And now, the two will be acting in a movie together. Not just any more. But a movie about stripping. Yup, pop singer Christina Aguilera is attached to play a naive country girl who wants to make it in the big city but ends up being a pole dancer in the upcoming Burlesque, and who gets to play the matron of the bar she works at? None other than legendary singer Cher who is still rumored to being considered for the part. I don’t know about you, but this is already shaping up to be the camp spectacular of the season.
Not since Dreamgirls has the gay community has been excited about a project. And not since Showgirls has there been a more trepidatiously awaited screen masterpiece as this one.It just has camp written all over it. There should be one of those disclaimers in front of every theater it will get shown in that advises the viewer to leave their brains at the door and throw all logic and taste out the window. Having said that, I’m sure people will come out in droves to see this exciting piece of cinema. After all, the director attached’s last film was the direct-to-DVD sequel Glass House:The Good Mother with z-list stars Angie Harmon and Jason London. He must seriously be creaming his pants at the chance of working with two pop divas. And if there’s gonna be any nudity - that’s always a plus.
Speaking of which, no word yet if either Xtina or Cher will drop trow for the film, but if a movie about stripping won’t have any nudity, well that’s like an episode of a Snoop Dog reality show where he doesn’t get high. It’s expected. So we should all be looking forward to Christina baring her big breastfeeding boobies and Cher flashing her antiquated bush. And just for the record, I am only looking forward to one of those possibilities. Can you guess which one? It’ll be awhile before this stinker hits theaters - IMDB has it listed for a 2011 release. So, it takes two years to film a movie about showing your tits? I can believe that though, since it takes a week to finish Cher’s make-up alone. Then there’s the body make-up in case she does get naked. It’ll be a whole month of spackling, shaving, bleaching, stapling, taping, tucking, and everything else to make her look cinema worthy. Here’s hoping that it’ll be worth the effort. But you don’t have to work that hard to see your favorite Hollywood celebs get down and dirty, just drop by here.
