7.Cher
Burlesque marked Cher’s return after a seven-year hiatus. Cut her some slack. Cher’s a singer, not an actress. She portrayed Tess, the owner of the Burlesque Lounge, who mentors Ali. Despite her enthusiasm for acting, Cher was disappointed with the film’s quality, even going as far as to criticize the director and script. But that didn’t mean much to Cher’s career, as she’s still active in 2023. Recently, she announced “Cher-lato,” her gelato company, and teased a Christmas album coming out in 2023.
8.Christina Aguilera
Burlesque was Aguilera’s big-screen debut. This role allowed Christina to showcase her acting and musical talents as she performed and co-wrote several original songs. Since the movie’s release, Aguilera’s music career has continued to thrive. She released her second album in 2022, mostly themed around motherhood and her music career. In addition to that, Aguilera is a powerful LGBTQIA+ ally, and she performed at Pride events in both NYC and LA.
