1.3 million to perform?  She's not worth that much!
Someone ask her how lucrative the Los Angeles wedding and Bar Mitzvah scene is

Anytrolls, a very cool member from aLD found this amazing article on Burlesque from people that actually KNOW what they're talking about, since it's from a broadway website.
I'm just gonna post some parts, because the article is pretty long but it's a very good read

Then there are the also-rans - OK, let's be blunt: the losers. Besides the aforementioned calamity of THE PRODUCERS, there was also the Chris Columbus abomination of Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize-winning RENT (though it admittedly has sporadic moments where Larson's vision shines through, such as in "I Should Tell You" and "Finale B"), as well as the good-intentioned NINE (albeit cutting 2/3 of the score was the first mistake of many). With TV's GLEE ending the 00s on a musical-theatre-awareness high note and leaving America - and the world - breathlessly awaiting their Broadway fix to be abated, the time seems ripe for a movie-musical a bit unlike anything that has come before, something truly twenty-first century. Something new. The time seems right for BURLESQUE.

First off, on the backstory side of things we have the old-meets-new theme coming to the very forefront, with a legend in her own right with a career unlike any other, Cher, and a Grammy-award-winning voice of a generation who has recently had a few stumbles following the middling success of her recent music endeavors (see: BIONIC, "Not Myself Tonight"). If anyone knows the highs and lows of show business, it's Cher and her presence in this project as a central figure in the drama - this is no cameo or featured role - bodes well for the overall prospect of a sense of dramatic cohesiveness to what appears to be a somewhat chaotic and fast-moving, multi-faceted movie that treads familiar territory.

And they say we're the only ones calling her voice of a generation *giggles*

Though Christina Aguilera has never taken a role in a film before, she was one of the absolute best hosts from the music world that Saturday Night Live has had in recent years (her parody of Kim Cattrall in a SEX & THE CITY skit is something of comic genius) and this role in BURLESQUE, while evidently a singing and dancing challenge - judging from both the final draft of the script by Susannah Grant, Keith Merryman and Antin, as well as Diablo Cody's earlier numbered second draft - it certainly is a far cry from Lady MacBeth or Hedda Gabbler in the dramatic department. The role is no stretch - and neither is Cher's, and Tucci is playing a variation on his DEVIL WEARS PRADA character, so the ingredients are relatively ready-made, if not wholly fresh.

And who knows what relation the final film bears to the script. To see how both ladies deal with the tricky territory of showbiz speak and backstage blabber and bitchery that is at least a hallmark of the script(s), will make or break whether or not the story works and audiences will be willing to accept these stars as these slightly-less-fabulous and accomplished archetypes. They do get their due diva diligence paid, don't worry - that's what onstage songs are for! Anyway, what audiences will be waiting to see is how the story is told - and how successfully - not necessarily what the actual story being told is. (Note: I have been intentionally vague on the plot as to not spoil the story since it has some surprising twists and the way the songs weave in and out through it all should be quite enjoyable - and the concept daring - if done as it is done in the shooting script. We shall soon see.)

A few months back, we were given the first peek of the wonderfully wicked and enticing world of BURLESQUE with the song "Spotlight", a new solo song for Christina Aguilera. "Spotlight" is one of the three or four original songs that have been penned expressly for this film - Cher's material having been written by recording industry veteran Diane Warren - and it hits on all the elements that we have come to love most about Christina Aguilera's rich and expressive vocal instrument: the rasp, the runs, the sheer force and power. Boosting the barn-burning, the producers have given it a 1940s-by-way-of-2010 aural aura that gives it bump. A little gritty, a little funky, a little jazzy; a little old, a little new, a little borrowed - and a lot of blue (as in "blue movies")! It's everything of BURLESQUE in a nut-shell - or a bowler hat! "You can't keep a good girl down" indeed!
Yesterday the trifecta of BURLESQUE was made complete with the release of the first full-length performance clip from the film with Christina Aguilera taking on the Etta James classic "Something's Gotta Hold Of Me". Performing alone, singing and dancing along to the jukebox with a broom and a chair - her high heels high up on the counter, barefoot - she conjures movie-musical magic out of thin air. This is not an easy song to sing, and even harder still to do one better than the near irreproachable original - and alone. We all remember what a rough go of it Beyonce had when she covered Etta James's other untouchable song, "At Last", in CADDILAC RECORDS. Ms. James was not amused (nonetheless, this critic was). In any event, Christina knocks this clear out of the park and the stark, unadorned filmmaking style of this number hopefully indicates that this movie musical will have some inventive camerawork for the musical numbers - particularly the dancing, which gets top-billing in the trailer - and less of the choppy MTV-style hack-job-ery of some of the big-bomb movie musicals mentioned before, as well as some of the hits (inexplicably). Considering the director of this film, we can't be too sure, but at least we know it will all be done with a stylistic purpose in mind. The style is not what draws concern, it's the content. With songs like this being used to tell the story we know we will have something to emotionally latch onto. Wail all you will.

Anything assumed, all of this - it's all supposition, anyway. All of this analysis of what should be or could be and what magic exists or doesn't exist. Yet, to have a bite of what looks to be a satisfying slice of showbiz pie, in a bracing (and biting) backstage story told through song - with a healthy dollop of camp and cliché ala mode, and a generous sprinkling of homage - served up by the top-tier-talents of Hollywood, Broadway and beyond is enough to incite excitement in any fan of musicals, whether live-in-the-house on Broadway or celluloid in-the-can in CA. Hopefully, BURLESQUE will be the cherry on top, not the ashcan (or its contents). Either way, these appetizers are sweet, sexy and scorching and speak favorably for what is to come. For me, November 24th can't come soon enough - particularly after the season we've just had on Broadway as far as new musicals of any ilk - jukebox, meta, wholly original or otherwise - are concerned. The audience is hungry. I know I am. Let's hope they're serving up what we're all positively famished for - solid entertainment (we're not expecting Albee or Sondheim). From the sights and sounds of this trailer, this song and this performance clip: it looks like they very well could be giving us what we yearn for. Expectations are set. As the song "Spotlight" professes, "Get up, get up, / This is not a test / You gotta give me your best / Get your ass up and show me how you burlesque!" Do it, girls. Show us how it's done. We're ready.
