‘Twilight’ star Cam Gigandet has recently signed on to star in ‘Burlesque’, a musical film, opposite Cher and Christina Aguilera. Cam explained “It’s about a girl from the Midwest who moves out to Los Angeles to pursue her career as a singer. Obviously, it’s Christina Aguilera, so she has an amazing voice. She finds a club run by Cher, a burlesque club. And she takes it to a whole new level and, of course, meets me — the love of her life. I am a struggling piano player, and I’m currently working as a bartender at Cher’s burlesque club. Christina and I meet, fall in love, and drama ensues.”
It’s been reported that Christina Aguilera has scored herself her first big screen role in the upcoming flick ‘Burlesque’. That movie is now bound to become a battle of the divas as iconic singer Cher has also been cast. It is a musical after all. Cher plays the owner of the burlesque club at which Christina’s character works. Cher also acts as the mentor to Christina’s small-town girl character. Considering the interactions that their characters are going to have, you know there’s going to be a duet or two between the divas. That’s going to be something to really look forward to – even if the movie sucks.
The eighties icon, Rick Astley, has been shortlisted for a 2008 MTV Europe Music Award.

The teenybopper wars did not start with Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera as the younger generation would like to think. It actually started back in the 80s with former teen pop princesses Tiffany and Debbie Gibson. Twenty years down the road and it’s still going on.
Sources are saying that the 80s pop stars were both recently spotted auditioning for the lead in the Pasadena Playhouse’s upcoming musical adaptation of ‘Mask’ – the 1985 movie featuring a character with a facial deformity. Tiffany tried out first and as she walked out of the room, Debbie was sitting right outside the waiting room. The 30-something ladies were both vying for the role that Cher played in the film.
