the oscar race begins

i have a feeling that chastity bono's sex change is wreaking havoc on poor cher. why else would she CLEARLY seek out a new daughter figure in her life? and in the form in christina aguilera, no less!

Cher joining Aguilera in 'Burlesque'

In what will be her first movie star role in a decade, Cher is set to join Christina Aguilera in "Burlesque," a contemporary musical for Screen Gems.
Steven Antin will direct from a script he wrote that was revised by Susannah Grant (Daily Variety, May 4).

Aguilera will play an ambitious small-town Iowa girl with a big voice who comes of age 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.

Cher will sing onscreen. While her voice has been heard in many films, "Burlesque" will mark the first time she'll be seen singing in a film she stars in.

if cher could custom-design the daughter of her dreams, of course she would be just like xtina: a singer with augmented boobs and drag queen makeup. this is JUST what cher needs....i'm ecstatic for her.

i would like to be the first to say the title should be changed to "SHOWGIRLS 2: PLASTIC BOOGALOO". but i don't care....this is a gay pride parade all it's own. i will be in the theater on day one.
