Dame Judi Dench to collaborate with Black Eyed Peas band for music video

And as much as we'd like to deny it, rarely has the phrase "like a house afire" -- as in two people who get along incredibly well, like fire on dry timber, in fact! -- ever been so promising. The last time the phrase was used with such verve, sources remarked about Leona Lewis and Stella McCartney getting along house-burningly well. And those rumors turned out to be true. So here we are, with rumors about one of the grand dames of Hollywood taking part in this unlikely collaboration. All because Dench and Fergie got along, "like a house on fire" while filming Nine together - reports Black Book Magazine.

So much so that after a spirited chest-bump after wrapping production on Nine, they realized the best way to demonstrate their new creative alliance is by roping Dench into to bust a move on a BEP music video. Quite possibly their next single.

The band’s fourth single, “Imma Be” may hopefully see Dench shooting daggers at Fergie’s butterface with M-from-James Bond-like sharpness. Possible premises: a more MTV-friendly redo of Mrs. Henderson Presents. Failing, that, a sexified update of Notes On a Scandal which finds Fergie stepping into the Cate Blanchett role could also work. Obviously, an enterprise of this size is pointless unless a b-side featuring Dench reciting the BEP song as spoken-word poetry is also included on the single. Fatboy Slim’s Christopher Walken-assisted video for “Weapon of Choice” should provide an excellent blueprint either way.
