Pop Star Fergie In Talks to Join Cast of Nine Feature Film

Pop star Fergie is "in negotiations" to appear in Rob Marshall's forthcoming film version of the musical Nine, according to Variety. She would play Saraghina, a lusty character who introduces the young Guido Contini played as an adult by Daniel Day-Lewis to the world of sexuality.

This would be the first major film role for the Black Eyed Peas lead singer-turned-solo-recording star, who had a small part in Grindhouse. As Stacy Ferguson, she began her performing career on TV in Kids Incorporated in 1984.

Fergie would join a starry cast that includes Day-Lewis, Marion Cotillard, Penelope Cruz, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren and Judi Dench. The film will begin shooting in the U.K. in October.
