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

We must have different Gods. My God said "do to others what you would have them do to you". Your God seems to have said "My Way or the Highway".

A "musical" or a movie in a musical setting?
Or will it all be someone's subconscious? (see Chicago, Nine and Wizard of Oz.)
