LOS ANGELES, June 23 (UPI) -- U.S. singer and actress Cher has signed on to star in the contemporary musical "Burlesque," marking her first lead role in a movie in nearly a decade.
Cher had a small part playing a fictionalized version of herself in the big-screen comedy "Stuck on You" in 2003, but hasn't starred in a picture since 1999's "Tea with Mussolini."
