Pop star Christina Aguilera is lined up to play notorious burlesque stripper Tempest Storm in a Hollywood biopic on the dancer.

Movie bosses are convinced the raunchy hitmaker is the perfect star to play Storm, who set Hollywood alight in the 1950s with her dancing and alleged affairs with Elvis Presley and John F Kennedy.

A source tells British newspaper the Daily Star, "The role of Tempest has Christina's name written all over it."

"She's got the looks - and the moves. People forget the singer has an acting background."
