Von Teese's acting ambitions

Burlesque star Dita Von Teese is eyeing a new career - she wants to swap her raunchy act for a Hollywood movie role.

Von Teese has made a name for herself as a sultry striptease artist - but dreams of writing and acting in her own film.

She said: "By the Oscars in two years' time, I want to have written my own movie script, produced it and starred in it."
