His sister Robin founded mischievous burlesque troupe the Pussycat Dolls, and he has directed a couple of their videos. He clearly loves this world. The numbers would make Ziegfeld proud; they glorify the American girl with only a little PG naughtiness.
Antin knows what you came to see, and he delivers. So does Aguilera. Her role is kept deliberately nondescript so she can fill it with her own personality and big voice. She does bring beguiling innocence to the part, along with a single-minded determination and a hellacious amount of performing talent. The worst served is Alan Cumming.

He revealed that he wanted Cher to wear black in the film but Cher bought her own styling prowess on set. I'd put clothes in her room every day and she'd walk out combining them in a different way than I thought she would.
There were many reports that circulated during the filming of Burlesque which suggested that Antin and Culpepper would have fights on set and it delayed filming.
