will.i.am livid over Fergie's film commitments

New York, Aug 19: Black Eyed Peas star will.i.am is 'furious' with bandmate Fergie, as she's too busy making a movie to go on tour.

As the pop group gears up for the release of its new album, will.i.am is angry with the sexy singer because she "won't commit to a tour schedule to promote the album," according to a source.

The 33-year-old singer is currently shooting "Nine" with Nicole Kidman, Penelope Cruz and Kate Hudson in Europe,

The movie due to release in December '09, is "her priority right now."

The singer is playing a prostitute in the musical film.

"She's basically a prostitute on the beach. She introduces him to the world of sexuality. It's a very strong song. I'm just thrilled I get to play a character," the New York Post quoted her, as saying.
