"An Ageless Diva of a Certain Age"

That's the title of the New York Times' profile of Cher on the eve of the release of her new movie Burlesque.  On her performance in the film, the article says:

"For her most ardent fans multiplexes might want to stock smelling salts."

Mine are ready to go.  Of course, many have already noted that the trailer for Burlesque makes it look like Valley of the Glitter Showgirls, and let's hope that's true, but whether it's fabulous, trashy, or fabulously trashy, I'll be there opening night.
