Movie Summary: Ali (Christina Aguilera) is a small-town girl with a big voice who escapes hardship and an uncertain future to follow her dreams to LA. After stumbling upon The Burlesque Lounge, a majestic but ailing theater that is home to an inspired musical revue, Ali lands a job as a cocktail waitress from Tess (Cher), the club’s proprietor and headliner. Burlesque’s outrageous costumes and bold choreography enrapture the young ingenue, who vows to perform there one day.

Soon enough, Ali builds a friendship with a featured dancer (Julianne Hough), finds an

enemy in a troubled, jealous performer (Kristen Bell), and garners the affection of Jack (Cam

Gigandet), a bartender and fellow musician. With the help of a sharp-witted stage manager

(Stanley Tucci) and gender-bending host (Alan Cumming), Ali makes her way from the bar to

the stage. Her spectacular voice restores The Burlesque Lounge to its former glory, though not

Mercedes-Benz Swimsuit Fashion Week ’09 Miami Beach

Richard — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 08:30:01 +0000

You go where I go, and this week it’s the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week on Miami Beach. This is the opening night fashion show and party featuring swimsuits from Boheme Boutique. We get to talk to Ford Model Claudia Davila, professional photographer and international DJ KASHA and Venezuelan MTV star Eglantina Zingg. At the time, I didn’t know who she was. But, if I did, I would have asked her about the famous photos of her kissing Paris Hilton.
