I figured the cast of Burlesque was about as crowded as it could possibly get, boasting the likes of Cher, Christina Aguilera and Kristen Bell in lead roles, with Stanley Tucci, Cam Gigandet and Alan Cumming rounding things out on the sidelines. But in a movie that's all about sex and glamour, I guess there's always room for McSteamy.
Eric Dane, best known for the hunky doctor role on Grey's Anatomy, has joined the Burlesque cast according to Variety. He'll play a businessman trying to buy out the club, negotiating with Cher's owner character and also flirting with Aguilera's character, a small-town girl who shows up at the club with all the typical L.A. dreams. Filming on this pile of crazy and magic began last week, and the movie is slated for release about a year from now, just in time to take your family to see it over Thanksgiving and have them wonder what the hell is wrong with you. I can't wait.
