Ready to Tease

Twilight hot stuff Cam Gigandet is ready for his close-up in his first musical.

“I’m shooting a movie called Burlesque with Christina Aguilera, [who’s making] her acting debut,” Gigandet recently told MTV. “And Cher.”

Production on Burlesque, which was announced over the summer, is set to begin rolling in December, and Gigandet sounds excited about it.

“It’s about a girl from the Midwest who moves out to Los Angeles to pursue her career as a singer,” he said. “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.”

The actor will play a struggling piano player working as a bartender at Cher’s burlesque club. But will he sing with Aguilera?

“Oh right, a duet with me and Christina?” he said laughing. “That would be like Kermit the Frog and Christina. I can’t sing.”

But obviously, you could look hot trying, Cam.
