Grey’s Anatomy hunk Eric Dane is the latest star to sign on to Christina Aguilera’s striptease musical, Burlesque.

According to Variety, McSteamy will join an ensemble cast including Cher, Stanley Tucci, Cam Gigandet, Kristen Bell and Alan Cumming.

The movie is centered around Ali (played by Xtina), a small-town girl with a big voice who fulfills her dreams at a neo-burlesque club.

Cher plays a former dancer, Tess, who runs the ailing dance establishment and mentors Ali.

Father-to-be Eric, 37, will play Marcus, a charming, successful businessman who offers to buy Tess out of the burlesque club and vies for Ali’s heart.

PLANET COLOR BY TODD PARR

One of my favorite kid’s book authors, Todd Parr, has designed a line of cool t-shirts and dresses called PLANET COLOR BY TODD PARR. The colors and artwork are really fun, and the clothes come with earth-friendly messages like “save the blue” and “pink on earth.” Check out his website – http://www.planetcolorbytoddparr.com

CASTING CORNER: With Cher and Christina Aguilera set to make the movie “Burlesque,” now comes the question of which actors will be brave enough to try to hold their own with those two rockets. We get word that casting is underway for the character of Jack, a struggling musician who tends bar at Cher’s character’s burlesque club — and becomes more than a friend to Christina’s character.

And, by the way, Christina Aguilera as a naive small-town Iowa girl who comes to the big city and gets drawn into burlesque? Yeah, there’s an acting challenge in there for the “Dirty” performer in the early scenes, for sure.
