One is a living legend in music and movies, the other is a living legend about to make her movie debut. Now, Cher and Christina Aguilera are being joined by a red-hot “Twilight” star who will be appearing in his first musical opposite the two famous females: Cam Gigandet.
“I’m shooting a movie called ‘Burlesque’ with Christina Aguilera in her acting debut,” Gigandet revealed when he stopped by the MTV studio recently. “And Cher.”

Xtina’s fans have been eager to learn details on “Burlesque” since the project was announced last June, especially since it will mark her big-screen debut. Some might be questioning Aguilera’s acting skills, but at least they know she’ll have a talented leading man at her side.“It’s about a girl from the Midwest who moves out to Los Angeles to pursue her career as a singer,” explained Gigandet, whose busy post-”Twilight” schedule has him releasing the sci-fi flick “Pandorum” this weekend. “Obviously, it’s Christina Aguilera, so she has an amazing voice. She finds a club run by Cher, a burlesque club. And she takes it to a whole new level and, of course, meets me — the love of her life.
“I am a struggling piano player, and I’m currently working as a bartender at Cher’s burlesque club,” Gigandet said of his character. “Christina and I meet, fall in love, and drama ensues.”
The next question is an obvious one for “Twilight” fans: Will Cam sing and dance? When we asked the star, he hesitated to even call “Burlesque” a musical. “That’s interesting — I don’t know. There’s music in it, and they do sing. I mean, they’re at a burlesque club, so they do sing and dance,” he explained. “It’s a very sexy, sexy movie.”
But this much Cam would confirm: He will not be singing any two-part harmonies with his new leading lady. “Oh right, a duet with me and Christina?” he laughed, looking forward to the film that begins shooting in December. “That would be like Kermit the Frog and Christina. I can’t sing.”
