BSC-approved Kristen Bell has been cast in Steven Antin’s Burlesque to play the rival of Christina Aguilera’s character in the film. According to THR, Bell will play the role of ‘Nikki’, joining the already cast Cher and Stanley Tucci.

According to the report Bell will be “the loose-cannon lead dancer and main attraction at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera’s character suddenly gets the spotlight.” Marvel could cast Bell as Ultimates Captain America or the Max version of Punisher and I wouldn’t be mad. Antin was in The Goonies, thus is given the BSC lifetime pass.

This is the film synopsis from Fandango:

Christina Aguilera makes her dramatic feature-film debut with this Screen Gems musical as a burlesque dancer who finds her dreams in the big city after leaving her small-town roots far behind

The film is shooting for a Thanksgiving 2010 release.
