Heroes star Kristen Bell is to play Christina Aguilera’s rival in musical Burlesque.
The movie already has Aguilera, 28, signed up to play an ambitious small-time girl who has a big voice and finds love and success in an neo-burlesque club in LA.
Bell, 29, who played the role of Elle in the US drama, has now been signed up to star as Aguilera’s rival Nikki, the lead dancer at the club who spirals out of control when Aguilera’s character gets the spotlight.
Singer Cher will play the nightclub owner and Stanley Tucci will star as the man who helps to turn Aguilera’s character into a star.
Filming is scheduled to start on November 9 and a release is aimed for Thanksgiving 2010.
