"Couples Retreat" star Kristen Bell is the latest actress to find her name on the marquee alongside Stanley Tucci, Cher and "Twilight" villain Cam Gigandet in Christina Aguilera's big-screen debut, "Burlesque."

The Hollywood Reporter reports that filming begins November 9 for the movie, directed by Steve Antin and set for a Thanksgiving 2010 release. Aguilera plays a small-town girl who moves to Los Angeles and, thanks to her enormous singing talent, finds work at a "neo-burlesque" club run by Cher.

Bell has been cast as the club's star, who gets a bit jealous when she sees that Aguilera's talents are outshining her own. Tucci will play the man who discovers Aguilera.

Gigandet revealed to MTV News that he will be Aguilera's love interest in the flick. "I am a struggling piano player, and I'm currently working as a bartender at Cher's burlesque club," Gigandet said of his character. "Christina and I meet, fall in love, and drama ensues."

Gigandet is pretty sure that the role won't call for him to test out his vocal chops. "Oh, right, a duet with me and Christina?" he laughed. "That would be like Kermit the Frog and Christina. I can't sing."

But that's fine, since he doesn't consider "Burlesque" to be a musical. "There's music in it, and they do sing," Gigandet said. "I mean, they're at a burlesque club, so they do sing and dance. It's a very sexy, sexy movie."
