On Wednesday, the blogosphere got its first look at the acting debut of Christina Aguilera. The pop powerhouse will be sharing the silver screen with showbiz vets Cher and Stanley Tucci — as well as a supporting cast featuring Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough, Peter Gallagher, Alan Cumming, and Kristen Bell — in the Steven Antin-directed movie musical Burlesque, opening in theaters Nov. 24.
Burlesque follows the story of a small town girl from the School of the Hard Knocks vying to make it big in the City of Angels. She finds inspiration in club owner Tess (Cher) and a gay stage manager played by Tucci.

With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager (Tucci) and gender-bending host (Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not before a charismatic entrepreneur (Dane) arrives with an enticing proposal…”
