Christina Aguilera to star in Burlesque?
There are reports out there that Christina Aguilera is interested in starring in “Burlesque,” a film about a modern-day striptease dancer, sources tell E! Online.
Although the site doesn’t have further information about how far along Aguilera is in the process of securing the role, there is word that “Dancing With the Stars” favorite Julianne Hough has also met with producers about co-starring as a pregnant showgirl.
Playing a burlesque dancer on film wouldn’t be too difficult for Aguilera, who got saucy covering Labelle’s “Lady Marmalade” for the “Moulin Rogue” soundtrack. She followed that up with her stint as “Dirrty” Christina on her 2002 album, Stripped, posing topless for the cover. Then, in 2006, she embraced her inner pin-up for Back to Basics. This would be the first major film role for the singer.
