Has anyone heard anything about this?

Cher is coming back to the big screen.

The Oscar-winning actress hasn't starred in a film in a decade, but Variety reports she will join Christina Aguilera this November in a musical, Burlesque.

Aguilera, 28, will play a small-town girl from Iowa who moves to L.A. and lands work at a neo-burlesque club run by Cher. Remarkably, the film marks the first time Cher, 63, will sing onscreen in a movie that she stars in.

Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper said he has been lobbying Cher for years to return to films.

"She brings a soulfulness and gravitas to this character that will ground the story," Culpepper said. "The only person who was more excited than I am is Christina."

That's the whole story but

This is either going to be absolutely amazing or a hot, steaming mess. There is no in between here.

It sounds like a made-to-order gay/drag queen camp fest.

Cher actually sang briefly in "Tea With Mussolini".

A "musical" or a movie in a musical setting?

Or will it all be someone's subconscious? (see Chicago, Nine and Wizard of Oz.)

I can't wait. I love Christina SOOO MUCH and Kristen Bell is such an amazing singer. Does anyone know a release date?

Ps. Christina looks SOOOO much younger without all of the makeup on.
