Fergie Finally Speaks Out on Nine

We learned about 2 weeks ago that Fergie had been cat in upcoming movie musical Nine.

Now she's finally speaking out about the role, saying "She's basically a prostitute on the beach. She introduces him to the world of sexuality. It's a very strong song. I'm just thrilled I get to play a character. I'm singing, but I'm not singing as myself. I'm going to be singing as a character, and that's what's really exciting to me."

"I'm speechless," she said of the opportunity to work with the film's A-list talent. "I'm definitely going to be a sponge on set. I want to pick up on everything that all these brilliant actors are bringing to the table. I'm probably going to be the quietest that I've ever been while working just because I want to watch and learn"

I know people are shitting over this casting, seeing as she's starring opposite Daniel Day Lewis, Nicole Kidman, Judi Dench, Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Sophia Loren and Kate Hudson, but I have confidence in her. I think she can play the character well enough and Fergie's got pipes whether you like her or not.

We'll just have to wait and see. If she's horrible I give you permission to throw things at me.
