All The News That's Fit To Strip

A new actor has signed on to play in Steve Antin's new movie Burlesque which begins filming today. Alan Cumming, an actor from Scotland, joins Christina Aguilera, Cher, Stanley Tucci, Cam Gigandet, Julianne Hough and Kristin Bell as a new cast member. Cumming will play a gender-bending emcee, not unlike Joel Grey's Oscar-winning role in the 1972 movie, Cabaret.

I don't know why but I haven't been even remotely enthusiastic about the film...until I read your post.
Love him. Love his guts so much that if it wasn't gross I'd eat them.
