Last when, when Kate Hudson became the latest cast member to join Rob Marshall’s Broadway adaptation Nine, I joked that they could even cast Matthew McConaughey in the final role, and I wouldn’t stop being excited about the movie. Now the studio seems to have taken my good faith and run with it, since they have cast the final woman to play an ex-lover of Daniel Day-Lewis. And her name is so familiar, you can spell it with me. F to the E to the R to the G-I-E.
Variety is reporting that Marshall will make his movie a little more Fergalicious by casting the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman and—they had to remind me—Grammy winner. She’ll be playing Saraghina, described as “a lusty woman who introduces Guido to the world of sexuality.” Yes, you’re going to see Fergie seduce Daniel Plainview. This might be an early sign of the apocalypse.
I get that Marshall has done stunt casting before to attract the kids and it’s worked—Queen Latifah in Chicago, and Jennifer Hudson in Dreamgirls, which Marshall produced. But Fergie has been in a few movies by now that haven’t indicated much talent, and even her singing voice might not be up to snuff with Broadway tunes (though, to be fair, Kate Hudson hasn’t really demonstrated her chops either, and Marion Cotillard lip-synched the songs in her Oscar-winning role). I hate to be unnecessarily snobby about casting a pop star, but Fergie? Really? If the role is good and goes the Latifah/Hudson route, she may wind up the only Oscar nominee in history to use the phrase “My humps” in public.

Fergie has a great voice and maybe she'll surprise everyone the way Jennifer Hudson did. I'm mostly confused about the casting of Kate Hudson but none of this matters to me because I knew I was going to see the movie when I heard Nicole Kidman would be in it. She is arguably the greatest actress of the last 15 years and has already proven she can sing and dance in Moulin Rouge.
