Singer Fergie is the learner diva between six drama queens

It might not be a complete Who's Who of Hollywood actress royalty, but it's a darn good effort.
As the cast of new movie musical Nine came together for a photoshoot for US Vogue - shot by renowned photographer Annie Leibovitz - one star stood out amongst her esteemed colleagues.

| Strike a pose, there's nothing to it: The female stars of movie musical Nine (from left), Judi Dench, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Stacy Ferguson (Fergie), Nicole Kidman, Penélope Cruz, and Sophia Loren are shot for US Vogue. |
Looking understandably nervous surrounded by Hollywood royalty, is Black Eyed Peas singer Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie.
The new movie is her first big screen role, and seemingly a baptism of fire. Her six female co-stars have not only a handful of Oscars between them - but also decades of experience.
The movie's stars Sophia Loren, Judi Dench, Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz, and Marion Cotillard all have Oscars to their name, and Kate Hudson narrowly missed out on an Academy Award.
Miss Dench, 74, has had six Oscar nominations, and won the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for 1998 for Shakespeare In Love.
Miss Loren, the oldest cast member at 75 years old, won the Best Actress Oscar for 1960 movie La Ciociara, better known as Two Women.
Miss Cruz, 35, Miss Kidman, 42, and Miss Cotillard, 34, are also past Oscar winners, for Vicky Cristina Barcelona, The Hours and La Vie En Rose respectively.
Miss Hudson, 30, meanwhile, narrowly missed out on the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for 2000 film Almost Famous. And, as the daughter of actress Goldie Hawn, acting is clearly in her blood.
Although she doesn't have the acting experience behind her, Miss Ferguson should have no trouble when it comes to the music.
The Black Eyed Peas singer, 34, best known for hits like Boom Boom Pow and Where is the Love?, won three Grammy Awards with the band.

Katie Holmes revamps her mumsy image
It may have a high neckline and fall to the knee, but there was nothing demure about Katie Holmes' see-through dress Monday night.
The outfit had a daringly sheer top, but thankfully the actress wore a plain T-shirt bra underneath to keep some of her modesty.
She teamed the Azzedine Alaia outfit, which had a pretty frilled skirt, with plain court shoes and black clutch bag. Katie, 30, was at the 16th annual Elle Women in Hollywood Tribute in Los Angeles, without husband Tom Cruise and daughter Suri. - Daily Mail
Whitney stuns X Factor viewers
Whitney Houston stunned X Factor viewers Monday night with her bizarre behaviour following her performance.
The legendary singer, 46, looked disorientated as she nervously shuffled about on stage following an energetic performance of her new single Million Dollar Bill.
The star, who is currently launching her comeback after years away from the spotlight battling a drug addiction, proved an awkward interviewee for X Factor host Dermot O'Leary.

Beyoncé postpones Malaysian concert
R&B star Beyoncé has postponed a planned concert in Malaysia after the nation's opposition Islamist party raised concerns about her performance, citing moral issues.
The US singer, known for her provocative dance routines, was due to perform in Kuala Lumpur on Sunday.
But, following protests by the Pan Malaysian Islamic Party (PAS), the concert has now been indefinitely postponed.
"We are not against entertainment, but it's the way she performs - her gyrating moves on stage and her sexy outfits," PAS youth chief Nasruddin Hassan Tantawi said, "It will erode the moral values of our young people."

Why is Lindsay Lohan giving herself a freaky face?
She's only 23 but Lindsay Lohan appears to be tampering with her looks like an ageing actress worried she won't get any more roles.
But Hollywood's acceptance of a plump here and a jab there is in danger of costing the once bright young thing her beauty.
And last night at a New York charity gala, Lohan hit the red carpet looking disturbingly like 54-year-old Donatella Versace, who has had more work done than most.
