Burlesque’s Tyne Stecklein on Prayer Circles with Cher and Dancing with Michael Jackson

Tyne Stecklein’s having a pretty wild week: Her film Burlesque — in which she plays a specialty dancer named Jesse — opened today, and she also performed with her Burlesque co-star Christina Aguilera on Dancing with the Stars and at the American Music Awards. You can add those experiences to Stecklein’s list impressive feats: She used to dance with Cher during her Vegas show, and she even rehearsed with Michael Jackson for his “This Is It” tour shortly before his death. Movieline caught up with the 21-year-old dancer/actress yesterday to see how her breakneck schedule is treating her.

Bad Movies We Love: Chastity

The original Movieline magazine ran a bunch of great features, but the most lamented one has to be Bad Movies We Love. The world never runs out of horrible, adorable films, and that’s because they’re the most gratifying to talk about. I haven’t discussed my favorite movie, Rear Window , as much as I have Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: Secret of the Ooze , and that’s because James Stewart and Grace Kelly never rapped with Vanilla Ice about crime-fighting humanoids (though you never know about Thelma Ritter). The point of it all: Thanks to the infinite, Biblical, pathetic joy that bad cinema produces, we’re exhuming Bad Movies We Love in weekly installments. Throw your vanities in a bonfire and join us!

First Clip from Burlesque Features Less Camp, More Singing

After the initial trailer for Burlesque threw glitter up all over the Internet last week, it’s somewhat surprising to see that the first clip from the film is so benign in nature. The musical’s biggest selling points — Cher and Stanley Tucci’s eyeglasses — are nowhere to be found here, replaced instead by Christina Aguilera’s booming vocals on “Something’s Got a Hold on Me” and a dance routine that feels like Flashdance minus the water. Click ahead to watch, but be prepared to tap your foot in unison.

New Meryl Streep & Jeff Bridges Movie To Somehow Get Even More Oscar Firepower

Great Hope Springs already had some heavy ammunition in its camp with Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges signed on to play a couple who agree to spend an intense weekend-long counseling session to decide the fate of their 30-year marriage. But now The Wrap is reporting that Mike Nichols, director of such classics as The Graduate and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? has expressed interest in directing the drama, thus bumping its Oscar expectations from Red Hot to the Force of 10,000 Exploding Suns. Still uncast is the role of the therapist who helps Streep and Bridges through their thorny issues. Philip Seymour Hoffman had previously expressed interest, but after the jump, check out my humble suggestion who should jump aboard this Academy Award-baiting freight train.
