Dallas Strip Clubs: Christina Aguilera Tempts Fate in Burlesque Trailer (watch)
Pop star Christina Aguilera has entered the Death Valley of film careers for young starlets, would be starlets, and in some cases, veteran actresses. The official trailer for her movie “Burlesque” was released today (Aug. 5) and features her doing what she does best — singing.
Sony Pictures released the trailer for the Steven Antin’s “Burlesque,” starring Aguilera, Cher, Eric Dane, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough, Peter Gallagher, Alan Cumming, Kristen Bell and Stanley Tucci.
Unfortunately, movies about strippers and burlesque queens have been career-killers.
Mostly notably, Demi Moore all but ruined her career by starring in the 1996 sex comedy “Striptease” with over-the-hill (even then) Burt Reynolds and Ving Rhames.
The 1995 film “Show Girls,” about Vegas strippers, nearly ruined Gina Gershorn and thoroughly trashed Elizabeth Berkley’s career.
More recently Britney Spears flopped as a stripper in 2002′s “Crossroads” and Mariah Carey bombed in 2001′s “Glitter.”
