Logo: And of course I couldn’t let you go by without asking this, which is a big deal to ALL Logo viewers, how is it working on Burlesque?

Alan: It was great.

Logo: What was it like working with such huge gay icons as Christina Aguilera and of course Cher?

Alan: They were both lovely. I did more with Christina, but Cher is….Cher is everything you would hope for and more.

Thanks to Enter.The.Circus for the tips!

Thanks to pristine via LD, there are two audios of Christina chatting about the movie and working with Cher.

My character – her name is allie Marilyn rose – she comes from Iowa – she works in a bar as a waitress – she has a dream – wants to sing – her grandma passes – she leaves & goes to los Angeles to see what happens – she’s a free spirit – an open mind – a little tough – a little venerable like myself – I tapped into that – then she steps into this whole world of this burlesque environment & falling in love with it & she’s never seen anything before like this in her life & she’s just drawn in2 it & wants so desperately to prove herself to Tess whose Cher’s character & uno they have this sort of on going banter throughout the film – her trying to get Cher to listen to her & her ideas & trying to get her to see her for a performer that she really is & she kind of shuns her away but at the very end they kind of come together & it’s a really incredible emotional moment.

Cher’s been incredible too – since day one – she has just embraced me with open arms – its meant the world to me – her emails of encouragement & support are like unwrapping little pieces of candy & getting the best sensation from it – I mean she’s been very much like a mentor to me – but its strange – the two of us get together in a room & for some strange reason I feel like we are old girlfriends & we’ll talk & talk & talk & she just has stories for days & I just find her the most fascinating person I may have ever met.

I have uploaded new movie poster of Christina in ‘Burlesque‘, she looks stunning!

A member of Pop Justice posted that he attended the Burlesque wrap up party.

So, I attended the Burlesque wrap party last night. Christina was there, and gave a little speech thanking the crew; she disappeared to the VIP area shortly thereafter (I think she must have heard of my plan to have a dance-off with her). Cher was a no-show, as was Kristen Bell. Alan Cumming arrived very late but hung out with people in the main area. Worst bar service in history, but the sushi was good. The best bit was at the end of the night when all of the dancers that were in the movie strutted their stuff on the dance floor (the DJ wasn’t the best, unfortunately). The biggest shock was that they played about 4 or 5 different musical numbers all night long on screens throughout the club...I was very surprised, as usually movies aren’t that far along into the editing process by the time of the wrap party, but I guess the shoot dragged on for so long they had time to get some of them put together. They played one of Cher’s numbers (I assume it was called “Welcome to Burlesque”, and it sounded like it could fit in on the first PCD album), one of Kristen Bell’s (she looked AMAZING in all the clips), one with Kristen/Christina/Julianne Hough, and I think three featuring Christina (one called “Express” that sounds AMAZING). As expected, Christina sounds amazing; unexpectedly, she actually looks quite lovely in it as well. Honestly, I was thrilled for this movie because of sheer camp value, but I was very surprised by how quality it appears from the clips. All the sets are gorgeous, the lighting/cinematography is really beautiful, the costumes are fantastic (K Bell’s is CRAZY sexy, and there’s one that Christina should wear on tour!),and the songs are much, much better than I expected. I wouldn’t be surprised if Bionic is being held until AFTER the Burlesque soundtrack is out, because there could honestly be 3 or 4 singles off of it.

Burlesque sounds a lot line Nine!

More like Showgirls meets Moulin Rouge. Clearly leaning more towards the Moulin Rouge side of the spectrum, thankfully!

I have uploaded new candid photos of Christina Aguilera at Burlesque Wrap Up Party on March 4, 2010.

Christina Aguilera is doing her first movie ever – with Cher! It’s a musical called “Burlesque” – no prizes for guessing what it’s about.

Our LA correspondent Sal Morgan caught up with Aguilera on set and asked her about what it’s like working with Cher.

Dools had an Xtina story of his own… it involved bikinis and Sai. The mind boggles…

LISTEN TO THE INTEVIEW

I just got back to my hotel after a 16 hour day of work, my last on the movie Burlesque. I am really tired, but I can’t imagine how the girl dancers are feeling tonight.  They have been dancing their asses off, at full pelt, all day long, wearing these chain-mail style dresses that are already making scrapes and grazes on their skin – and they have a whole day of doing it all again tomorrow. It’s the finale of the film, a song written by Christina, and it really is amazing. But wow, those girls, I don’t envy them. And the set is so hot because there are huge stage lights on all day and the air conditioning can’t be turned on because it makes the smoke that is pumped into the sound stage to increase the lighting effects disappear. At least they all look totally hot and are going to be worshipped the world over come Thanksgiving. Here’s a little film I made today…

Christina Aguilera’s recent movie ‘Burlesque’ wrap-up today, here are some tweets about it. Thanks to Mo-Xtina for the info.

Alan Cumming Quote:

Jane from the UK: You sound very busy at the moment, but you also sound like you are enjoying yourself & having fun, which is good. You are working on ‘Burlesque’ & ‘The Good Wife’ at the moment. Is it hard to work on two very different roles at the same time?

I actually like it. I thrive on multi-tasking, and I became an actor because I wanted to be lots of different people, so this is an ideal situation! They’re also so different so it’s not like they merge or anything.Oh, and I’m only doing one now because Burlesque is done!

Kadir from Istanbul writes: I want to ask you a question about burlesque,this movie looks so interesting.I saw a little premier on E! and it was so good full of dancing singing..my question about the movie soundtrack how many songs will be in and how many songs christina sing in it and you of course !? =)

Alan Cumming: I am not sure how many songs there will be on the soundtrack. Right now there are a lot of songs, maybe too many and so some will have to be cut.Christina has the most. I just sing one song, That’s Life. The film and the soundtrack will be in theatres at the end of November.
