CHER SPEAKS ON BURLESQUE ROLE
Cher has a new movie in the works – “Burlesque” – opposite Christina Aguilera, but don’t let the title fool you. The 64-year-old told Access Hollywood’s Billy Bush on Thursday night that the film isn’t as saucy as it sounds – at least when it comes to her role.
“How sexy is Burlesque? Christina Aguilera was going off on it with me two nights ago,” Billy asked Cher on the red carpet on Thursday as she headed into the AFI Life Achievement Award celebration for director Mike Nichols.
“I don’t know how sexy it is,” the 64-year-old said. “I just think it’s really good and there are some, you know, there are some sexy moments,” she said. “You know, how sexy are [co-star] Stanley Tucci and I gonna be in some sort of a love scene?”“Burlesque,” which opens on November 24, will find Cher playing a former club dancer, who now runs the club Christina Aguilera’s character – Ali Rose — becomes a part of. The movie has been filming for months and wasn’t easy on Cher’s feet.
Cher recently had to pull out of some of her shows at Caesars Palace after re-injuring her tootsies, and she said “Burlesque” didn’t help.
“You were [sidelined] for a night?” Billy asked.As for her Vegas show cancellations, which occurred at the end of last month, Cher explained to Billy it had to do with her previous injury.
“A couple of nights. Also, when I did ‘Burlesque,’ I was on 16 hour days in the highest heels I’ve ever worked on and it was hard,” she said.
“My toes [have] been broken a whole bunch of times so I was having a really hard time with it,” Cher told Billy. “I still am [hurt], but I’m working on [it]. It’s getting better.”Source: AccessHollywood

CHRISTINA AGUILERA: WHY I'M SOMETHING ATTRACTED TO WOMEN
Christina Aguilera's risqué outfits, skin-tight costumes and provocative photo shoots aren't just for show. The singer says her sexy image is her way of getting out what she believes is an important message."I feel sexuality to be very empowering," the singer, 29, tells U.K. magazine Company in its July issue. "I think men love to believe that they own our sexuality, so if a woman represents herself in a sexual way, people think, 'Oh it must be for a man.'"
"But men don't have the right to own our sexuality," she says. "If I want to be sexual, it's for my own appreciation and enjoyment! That's why I like to talk about the fact that sometimes I am attracted to women. I appreciate their femininity and beauty."
Before calling her a feminist, be warned, Aguilera says she doesn't like to get into labels. Instead, she's simply fighting "for women's rights in the sense that we shouldn't be ashamed of ourselves or our bodies."
But husband Jordan Bratman has nothing to worry about. His wife of almost five years knew he was The One, because when they met, "Everything was a little blurry and he was the one concrete person that I could trust," she tells the magazine. "He was centered, grounded and always helped me see the positive in the negative. He would lift me out of my black hole of sometimes feeling sucked in by the negativity of people around me. My husband is the calm in the storm."
Though she acknowledges "you have to work at all relationships," she says she couldn't have found a better partner than Bratman. "He's my team mate in everything we do," she says. "He definitely makes life easier."
