Starring Christina Aguilera in Burlesque!

Christina's always expressed that since her childhood days in The Mickey Mouse Club, she's been interested in acting, especially in film.

It took her years to finally fulfill that dream because, I quote her, "it has to be the right script". That right script finally came last year and so did the opportunity for her to star alongside Oscar-winner, legendary singing sensation and ultimate diva, Cher!

What better genre of film for my queen of pop to kick off her acting career with than a musical with explosive, raunchy dance numbers? That's exactly what this film is about. It's called Burlesque. Aguilera will play a small town girl who finds love, family and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club.

Filming began in November last year and now, the long-awaited trailer's finally out. It's looking fantabulous. It's nothing like Britney Spears' Crossroads in 2002 or Mariah Carey's Glitter in 2001.

Christina's looking to breakthrough to the silver screen with a big bang and I can hardly wait for it. The film opens December in the USA. Watch the trailer here.
