Christina Aguilera Hot For Strippers
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Drama, Musicals, Romance, Casting, Celeb News, Celebrity Gossip, Scripts, Upcoming Releases
Latex-loving Christina Aguilera likes watching strippers.
The singer-and-actress - who plays a singer looking to find fame in a strip club in Burlesque - is fascinated by sexy pole dancers and loves watching them perform: “I prefer watching female strippers to male ones.”
Christina - who is married to music executive Jordan Bratman - didn’t hesitate when she was offered the role in Burlesque because of the movie’s racy subject matter. Speaking about the movie, she said, “Burlesque was made for me. Women, sex and dance - count me in!”
The 29 year-old is adamant women are sexier than men, because a naked girl’s body is so beautiful to view:
“I think women are such sensual beings. And, I mean, I’m attracted to men ultimately - I’m married and I love my husband and I love what we do together, but honestly? If I had the choice between viewing a naked man or a naked woman, I’d choose the woman. We’re just naturally sexier and more beautiful to look at.”

Scarlett Johansson’s Sinatra Secret
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Celebrity Gossip
Scarlett Johansson wants to be Frank Sinatra.
The Lost in Translation star admits that the Rat Pack singer-and-actor was one of her childhood heroes and she hopes to emulate his singing voice in the future:
“I always wanted to be Frank Sinatra. Even as a little kid, I always thought I’d grow up and sound like Sinatra. I’m still waiting for that to happen. A lot of actors are great mimics anyway, and that can relate to music as well. I think all singers are acting, whether it’s their lyrics or another writer’s lyrics, they are performing. I don’t think the two are dissimilar.”
Uh, oh—watch out, Leo.
Despite her success, Scarlett—who is set to release her second album, The Break-Up, a series of duets with close friend Pete Yorn—admits she is still astonished when she lands big jobs. She told Britain’s The Times newspaper, “That always shocks me, when I get hired for anything. Either as an actor or, in this case, a vocalist for hire. As soon as one project ends, you never think you will get the chance again. I was just flattered that Pete thought of me and put the faith in me that I could creatively collaborate on anything.”
REVIEW: ‘Across the Universe’
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Adventure, Independent, Music, Musicals, Period, Political, Romance, New Releases, Theatrical Reviews
When I first heard the words Julie Taymor, The Beatles and musical linked in the same sentence, I immediately etched the title Across the Universe into my brain. Without even glimpsing a trailer, I knew I had to see the film. I was raised on The Fab Four and was curious to see what Taymor, the award-winning director behind the stage production of The Lion King, would do with their library. After months of waiting, I knew from the minute I heard Jim Sturgess’ haunting vocal on the opener (‘Girl’) that this would be a special event.
The movie centers around a dock worker from Liverpool, England (Jude) who travels to America in the early ‘60s to find the father he never met. He quickly befriends a rich college dropout (Max) and later falls in love with his younger sister (Lucy). All three eventually end up in New York where their lives become tied to the anti-war movement.
