Fergie Strips for Sizzling Hot Allure Bikini Shoot

With chart success and another big screen role under her belt, singer Fergie really is riding high.And she has stayed true to her fine form with a sizzling new bikini shoot. The singer, whose Black Eyed Peas track Boom Boom Pow topped the charts, has stripped off for the latest issue of America's Allure magazine.

And while she looked incredibly toned in an array of revealing numbers, she revealed getting back in shape after filming Nine wasn’t easy.Last year director Rob Marshall ordered to gain weight to play the part of prostitute Saraghina in the ensemble musical.Alongside co-star Penelope Cruz, she delighted in gaining 17 pounds as the two ordered 'everything fried and full of fat and salty' while filming in London.

'We were eating our brains out,' Fergie told the magazine.But Fergie, who is famous for her rock hard abdominal muscles, struggled to regain her figure after the cameras stopped rolling.Fergie eventually recruited husband Josh Duhamel’s personal trainer who encouraged her to jump rope, hike outdoors, lift weights and resume stomach crunches.

'It was a very gradual thing getting back into it and finally letting a trainer train me,' she said. 'I didn’t want to be told what to do, and I wasn’t mentally ready to crack the whip.'The 34-year-old recently transformed her look to coincide with the release of the new album The E.N.D, including dying her blonde locks dark brown.

'Something inside of me said, "I need an evolution",' Fergie revealed. 'I’m in a new phase of life. I’m married; I have a new album. It felt time.'Not that married life has made her any more demure, especially not behind closed doors.'I've got a big chest of fun little numbers, ones that I would never wear in public,' revealed.
