Nikki (Burlesque)

Nikki is the secondary antagonist in the 2010 musical film Burlesque who arrives late to performances and is caught drinking alcohol before shows. When new arrival Ali Rose takes her place after she's fired for drinking, Nikki jealousy of Ali's bond with her ex-lover Marcus Gerber and everyone's approval of the new singer over herself, grows increasingly over the film's course. Nikki takes desperate measures to have her "replacement" fired by sabotaging the shows by pulling the microphone out to reveal to the audience that all singer lip-sync except Ali who really sings. She then becomes more angry and intoxicated and causes violent fights with her manager, even going far as to lie about her sexual encounters with her manager's ex-husband which caused the manager to wreck her car window with a crowbar, much to Nikki's dismay. Despite her anger and jealously towards Ali, this was temporary information to hide the film's true villain, Marcus Gerber. She is portrayed by actress Kirsten Bell.
