Fergie put on 20 pounds for 'Nine'

'Black Eyed Peas' star Fergie who will be seen prancing around as a pole dancer in 'Nine', put on 20 pounds to play the character.
The pop star-cum-actress purposely packed on about 20 pounds to play a pump-alicious 1920s Italian prostitute in the just-released movie musical, E Online reported.
However, Fergie isn't alone in the girth-for-gelt department.She follows in the method-acting footsteps of stars like George Clooney, Matt Damon, Charlize Theron, Renee Zellweger who have also let themselves go to play characters with bigger waistlines, bellies and booties.
