Christina Aguilera and Cher will not be dueting in their upcoming movie Burlesque!
“She and I didn’t sing together,” Cher recently told me. The “Believe” diva plays the owner of a burlesque joint where Aguilera is the new girl in town, but Cher does have two numbers with the rest of the girls.
And Cher, like her costars, says the making of Burlesque was quite painful. “It was hard,” she said. “It was sixteen-hour days in six-inch heels.”
She continued, “It was a bitch. I have a broken foot and toe that’s been broken twice so it was really hard for me. I mean, the girls who were 22 were complaining and crying, too.”
