Fergie Heads for 'Nine'

It didn't seem all that surprising when Fergie (Stacy Ann Ferguson) signed on for a role in Grindhouse. It was a pulp, grindhouse film -- one that suited random cameos. But watching her performance above, did you ever think "Gee, she'd be great acting alongside the likes of Daniel Day-Lewis and Judi Dench"?
Variety reports that the singer and actress is in negotiations for a part in Nine -- the musical re-do of Fellini's 8 1/2. She'll play Saraghina, who "introduces Guido to the world of sexuality." Yes, that means she gets to teach Daniel Day the saucy ways of love. Is this for real? Am I the only one wondering how on earth this came to be?
Shooting starts this October in the UK, and features a wickedly diverse cast that boasts Day-Lewis, Marion Cottilard, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Sophia Loren, Nicole Kidman, and Judi Dench.

She'll be teaching the young 9 year old Guido so not Daniel day. Saraghina is the village prostitute that the young Guido talked to just to "see what she was like"
Having performed in this show a few years ago I think she'd do well with the role and the song.

Ummm... is she going to gain about 80 lbs for this role? Because if she does, that's the only way I'd be OK with her in the movie.
