Fergie thrilled to play a prostitute in upcoming musicial

Fergie, real name Stacy Ann Ferguson, will play as a prostitute in the upcoming film “Nine.” The singer will play the role of Saraghina in the musical and perform the song “Be Italian.”

“She’s basically a prostitute on the beach,” Fergie told the Associated Press in an interview. “She introduces him to the world of sexuality. It’s a very strong song. I’m just thrilled I get to play a character.”

Fergie will join a talented cast featuring Penelope Cruz, Nicole Kidman and Kate Hudson. The film will be directed by Rob Marshall from the movie Chicago.

Filming is expected to start in October and it is expected to be released sometime in 2009.

Fergie is also busy with the Black Eye Peas working on their next album. “It’s a new sound,” she said. “We’re going into the future. We’re not doing the same old thing. We’re not trying to copy what’s out there on the radio.”
