What's Courtney Stodden's next move? Hint: It involves a stripper pole!
First and foremost, however, the 18-year-old is going to be making her live singing debut Nov. 21 at the Abbey in West Hollywood. Flanked by a pair of chiseled dancers, Doug Hutchison's teen bride will perform her own original song, "Reality," and yes, pole-dance.
"I'm super excited, it's going to be such a fun night!" Stodden exclusively tells E! News. "You can expect to see a whole lot of sexy—me singing live and super-hot backup dancers!"
"I wouldn't say I'm nervous, but since it's my first live performance, I'm feeling a tad anxious—but in a good way!" she said, adding that she's very excited to meet her fans up close.
"Oh, my goodness, the Abbey is the biggest gay nightclub in the world!" Stodden gushed. "I love, adore and respect the gay community so much and can't wait to meet everyone. I can't think of anywhere else to spend Thanksgiving!"
And look for the aspiring artist to channel a range of famous entertainers, not all of them women.
"The singers who've influenced me the most are Nancy Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Michael Jackson, Rosemary Clooney, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera," she tells us.
Variety and stripper poles are indeed the spice of life!
