Burlesque at a movie theater
Stanley Tucci Interview
Will was just talking about working with Justin Timberlake and his transition from pop star to actor. You just finished Burlesque, right? Christina Aguilera, what was that experience like for you?

It was great, she was wonderful, but she never made a movie before. There were certain things that she just didn’t know, just technical things that she didn’t know. But, you know, you learn them pretty quickly, and God knows she’s a performer. I’ve never seen anything like that. Staggering, her singing and dancing. She’s this sweet little…she’s this big [places flat hand about three feet above the floor]. It was weird. They were like, “There’s Christina Aguilera,” I was like, “Where? That child?” She’s very sweet, very quiet and then she starts to sing and dance and you’re like, “Where the **** did that come from?” I’ve never seen anything like it. I’ve never seen a transformation like that. It talked about it with Cher. How does she do that? Cher goes, “I don’t know. I don’t know how she does that.”

Justin, Janet and Christina Prove Pop Stars Can Act With Buzzed-About Films

Simply put, for Jackson to really cross over, she's going to have to be really good. Cher, most famously, revamped her entire career after a string of critically-acclaimed performances. Like Jackson is today, Cher was at a career crossroads in the early 1980s. Her singles and albums weren't selling like they used to, and while she was committed to starting a film career, she struggled to land credible roles because directors doubted the flamboyant star's ability to effectively portray anyone other than herself.
She proved them wrong in a big way, of course, earning an Oscar nomination for one of her first films, 'Silkwood,' and starring in a pair of high-profile hits, 'Mask' and 'The Witches of Eastwick.' She won the Oscar in 1987 for her turn in Norman Jewison's ('In the Heat of the Night,' 'The Hurricane') 'Moonstruck,' and went on to star in 'Mermaids' and HBO's Emmy-nominated 'If These Walls Could Talk.'
Incidentally, Cher is looking to make a big screen comeback this fall with the musical 'Burlesque,' and she's bringing another pop star along for the ride – Christina Aguilera. 'Burlesque' marks Aguilera's film debut, and she's keeping good onscreen company; in addition to Cher, the film co-stars Eric Dane, Kristen Bell and theater vets Stanley Tucci (a recent Oscar nominee for 'The Lovely Bones') and Alan Cumming.
If Timberlake, Jackson and Aguilera can deliver both good reviews and box office returns, they'll join a surprisingly-long list of music-to-movie success stories that extends well beyond Cher and Wahlberg. Now, all that's left is for Justin, Janet and Christina to actually live up to the hype and deliver stellar performances in their respective films. We have faith in these hard-working superstars. Do you? Let us know in the comments or on Facebook.
