All The News That's Fit To Strip

Christina Aguilera is reportedly turning to Dita Von Teese for some tips and advice on burlesque moves.

"Christina is meticulous in her preparation for anything she does,” explains a source close to the star. "She is already training hard to be ready for this role and has asked Dita for some coaching on the more technical aspects of burlesque dancing. She doesn’t want to have to use a double for anything if she can help it."

Yet another source says:

"It is not about g-strings and pasties. It's about female empowerment. No one is ever in lingerie. The film is sexy, but there's no stripping."

Burlesque begins filming next month and is slated to release Thanksgiving 2010.
