Christina Aguilera will become a "Burlesque" star

by
Julia Miranda

Christina Aguilera (or XTina, as I will always affectionately call her) is set to star in her first feature film, Burlesque. The plot centers around a small town girl who dreams of fame, fortune and, of course, burlesque dancing in Los Angeles. But XTina quickly learns that dreams don’t pay the bills — so she gets a day job as a stripper.

I think this movie is destined for a Razzie, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. There are two types of horrible movies: the Gigli kind and the Showgirls kind. Gigli is horrible painful, Showgirls is horrible-hilarious.

Burlesque has all of the ingredients that made Showgirls so wonderfully trashy — small town girl, stripping and dancing. Oh, and as an added bonus, the director of the movie is Steve Antin, brother of famed hairstylist Jonathan Antin of Blow Out, and Robin Antin who founded The Pussycat Dolls.

Yeah, I’m totally there opening weekend.

    Yeah...Xtina is hot...no doubt. But for someone who claims to love the 40-50's so much...and the ART of burlesque, she shouldnt of even considered this.

    I'd love to see her strip for sure...BUT I just dont like the idea of it mixing..cause it really isnt the same thing. And burlesque doessssss pay the bills...especially in LA...haha.

    They could of kept the burlesque part out of it and made her just strip the whole two hours!!! I love strippers...hell, I want one of my very own!! hee

    Maybe I'm just biased cause im into that whole era. I'll just have to Netflix it!
