You’d think that Christina Aguilera would have done a movie by now. I mean, she’s conquered music, perfume, jewelry, and I’m a bunch of other things, but nope, she’s never been in a movie. Well, we won’t count her voice in “Shark Tale” or playing herself in Martin Scorsese’s Rolling Stones documentary “Shine a Light.”

But now she’s got her own big-screen deal with “Burlesque,” about a “small-town girl with a big voice” who finds work at a burlesque club in L.A.

Filming will begin later this year, with Steven Antin directing (probably a good choice, since his sister Robin Antin founded the Pussycat Dolls). Antin also played Troy in “The Goonies.”

Screen Gems president Clint Culpepper told Variety, “I couldn’t be more excited, as this was a project written with [Aguilera] in mind.”

And I have to say, it sounds like the perfect movie role for Aguilera.
