I know, right? Who possibly could have guessed that, given the existence of “London Bridge (Oh Shit).” But there’s proof: her version of “Be Italian,” from the upcoming film version of Nine (in which “the Dutchess” (sorry) plays a prostitute), has been released onto the internet. Check it out for yourself:
Now, I’m not able forgive Fergie for spelling “tasty” T-A-S-T-E-Y in a song ON PURPOSE. There are just some sins you can never atone for, you know? She could eat an entire Miriam-Websters and I would still feel angry on behalf of English. But I do enjoy it when someone busts out some completely unexpected talent. (Mariah Carey and Mo’Nique’s performances in Precious are supposed to be like that, as well.)
Surprises are fun! Which is why, when I am a super-famous screenwriter/director (I am 93% certain that is going to happen), I am going to cast Cat Deeley, beyond-wonderful host of So You Think You Can Dance, in an Oscar-winning role. You always have to keep people on their toes. (I am serious about this.)
But anyway: congrats, Fergie. Maybe this will help you live down “Boom Boom Pow.”
Nothing will ever let her live down “Boom Boom Pow.” That’s seriously the most fucking retarded song ever created.

Nine looks so promising! I can’t wait to see it. I remember watching the trailer for the first time a few months ago and being shocked to realize it was indeed Fergie singing.

The Nine that was on Broadway a couple years back was apparently excellent… or is the other movie named Nine?
