Kristen Bell Is Christina Aguilera’s Rival In BURLESQUE

Kristen Bell and Christina Aguilera fighting it out on the big screen, it’s the dream of every man. According to Hollywood Reporter, Sarah Marshall a.k.a Veronica Mars a.k.a hottie Kristen Bell will co-star in BURLESQUE along with Christina Aguilera and Cher.

Screen Gems’ musical drama being directed by Steve Antin is about an ambitious small-town girl (Aguilera) with a big-town voice who finds love and success in a neo-burlesque club on Sunset Boulevard that’s run by Tess (Cher), a former dancer who struggles to keep the club open and gives the young girl a chance to shine. The place is said to be reminiscent of the nightclub in Bob Fosse‘s Cabaret.
Bell plays Nikki, the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who gets all mad and out of control when Aguilera’s character suddenly gets the spotlight.
Also starring Stanley Tucci as the man who helps Aguilera’s character gets her big break.
