Eric Dane joins 'Burlesque' musical

I thought they were done casting Steve Antin's upcoming musical "Burlesque," but I guess I was wrong. The latest to join the party is Eric Dane, the Dr. Mark Sloan dude from "Grey's Anatomy."

Is that a bad thing? You tell me, because I never really watched that show. Anyway, Dane joins a cast including Christina Aguilera, Cher, Kristen Bell, Cam Gigandet, Alan Cumming and Stanley Tucci.

Aguilera plays a small-town girl who finds love and success in a Los Angeles neo-burlesque club. The Hollywood Reporter says Dane plays a businessman planning to buy the club. He also falls for Aguilera.

Bell plays the club's lead dancer who gets mad when Aguilera steals her spotlight. Tucci is the club manager, Cumming plays the host. Cher plays the owner. I wonder who plays the barman?

Dane will also show up in 2010's romantic comedy "Valentine's Day." His credits include "Marley & Me," "X-Men: The Last Stand" and "Charmed." He also appeared in "Open Water 2: Adrift."
