That being said, it’s great to see Cher back in action and Stanley Tucci is able to add credibility to the entire production and save it from becoming a B-Film with A-Listers…

Two talents, both incredible in two very different but important ways.

This week, Burlesque hits theaters with all the songs and dance that you could possibly want, but it has a couple of things you don’t see in every musical, an icon and one of the best actors working today to raise the bar of the entire film, Stanley Stucci.

Gasp! Cher has finally been cast in a role older than her actual age… well does anyone know her REAL age anymore?
The singer is slated to co-star as along with Jackass‘s Johnny Knoxville in writer/director Ricky Blitt‘s new comedy Drop-Out due out later this year.
