Julianne Hough Joins Burlseque Cast

Julianne Hough is going from ballroom dancing to Burlseque dancing.

The 21-year-old budding actress has joined the star-filled cast of Burlesque, a musical about a young small-town singer (Christina Aguilera) who becomes a star at a Hollywood burlesque club owned by Tess (Cher).

Sources dish to E Online, “It is not about g-strings and pasties. It’s about female empowerment. No one is ever in lingerie. The film is sexy, but there’s no stripping.”

Who else is in the cast? Kristen Bell, Stanley Tucci and Twilight‘s Cam Gigandet.

Burlesque is predicted to hit theaters Thanksgiving 2010.
