Alan Cumming Is The Emcee For All Time

Is there any doubt that Burlesque is going to be the craziest movie of 2010? It's already got Cher and Christina Aguilera duking it out in the main roles, and Stanley Tucci, Kristen Bell and Cam Gigandet, among others, as witnesses to the catfight. Now they've completed the crazy package: Alan Cumming is on board!

Better yet, they seem to have brought him in essentially to reprise his Emcee role from Cabaret, which won him a Tony in 1998. Variety describes the role as "the club's gender-bending host and master of ceremonies," which again, is exactly like the Emcee. At least they know he'll be good at it.
