Kristen Bell Nabs Key Catfighting, Hair-Pulling Role in Burlesque
· In news that will no doubt pitch a million fanboy tents, Kristen Bell has signed on to play Christina Aguilera's nemesis in the upcoming musical drama Burlesque. The film will feature Bell losing her mind and baring her claws when Aguilera's up-and-coming dancer overtakes her spot as the main attraction at a Los Angeles burlesque joint. Cher also stars as the new girl's mentor, a role originally thought to comprise a number of life lessons but is now reduced to one-half corner man and one-half reattaching clumps of torn-out hair to Aguilera's scalp before her 11 p.m. performance.

It truly is somewhat intriguing most of gifted stars are generally via the usa. you'll find not usually coming from different states which will creates interest in movies increased. so i generally assist skills through various other international locations with which i think it's going to obtain a whole lot more customers
It is always somewhat pleasant many of skilled actresses tend to be from the states. there can be hardly ever originating from various other states which tends to make availability of motion pictures greater. so i invariably support abilities from various other nations together with that i suppose it'll access far more people
