Kate Torgovnick/Kate-Book.comSeptember 10, 2011 //

Jeff Tweedy of Wilco is mourning the fact that the Black Eyed Peas retired their classic “My Humps.” At a book party this week, Jeff took the stage and did a dramatic reading of the song. Wow, I didn’t think the lyrics could sound any more inane, but they really can. Do I smell a collaboration coming on? [Huffington Post] Keep reading »

What Did You Think Of The Black Eyed Peas’ Super Bowl Halftime Show?

Amelia McDonell-ParryFebruary 7, 2011 //


After the first half of last night’s Super Bowl was done — and congrats to the Green Bay Packers, the least rapey team on the field last night, for their win — TRON took over for the halftime show. I mean, the Black Eyed Peas. Slash from Guns ‘N’ Roses showed up too — is he having financial problems? He is way too cool to be standing next to Fergie as she brays the world’s worst Axl Rose impression. Also, a piece of advice for the Peas: if you’re going to insist on singing a four-year-old hit — “I Got A Feeling” — you should at least update the lyrics to reference the current year and not 2008. Speaking of 2008, I have never been so excited to see Usher do the splits in all my damn life. I get that as a spectacle, this might qualify as “entertaining,” but given that my ears are still bleeding, I remain unimpressed. You? Keep reading »

Ferg’s Black Eyed Peas’ bandmate, Taboo, looks like he’s about to do something, well, taboo with that finger. [New York City, 2/24/10] Keep reading »

Is “Imma Be/Rocking Your Body” The Black Eyed Peas’ Best Video?

Annika HarrisFebruary 17, 2010 //

The Black Eyed Peas have combined “Imma Be” and “Rocking Your Body” into one mega mix video that’s more than 10 minutes long. The band takes on robots in a kind of fun, move to the beat, “District 9″ sorta way. It’s really entertaining, especially since plot-driven videos aren’t as popular as they once were, and Will.i.am even tweeted that this is “the best video the black eyed peas ever made.” So what do you think?

Black Eyed Peas Accidentally Given Best International Group Award

adminJanuary 25, 2010 //

At France’s NRJ music awards show yesterday, the Black Eyed Peas were, uh, accidentally announced as the winners of Best International Group. But no one came on stage to pick up the award—I guess even the Peas themselves were not under the illusion that they’re “best group” caliber. The presenters realized their mistake and re-awarded the prize to German band Tokio Hotel. The Black Eyed Peas did win the award for best international song for “I Gotta Feeling” though, so that was hopefully some consolation. [NY Daily News]

I feel kinda bad for the Black Eyed Peas. It’s kinda like that time when my mom wanted me to cry in a home movie, so she gave me a biscuit and then took it away from me. But at least they’re not the only ones who’ve been falsely awarded. After the jump are some award snafus from the past. Keep reading »

Fergie Reveals Her Past As A Gang-Banging Druggie And I Fall Asleep

Ami AngelowiczOctober 13, 2009 //

In case you didn’t have cable in the ’80s you might have missed the wholesome, corn-fed blonde, Stacy Ann Ferguson, on my favorite show “Kids, Incorporated.” So what was little Stacy Ann up to between then and joining the Black Eyed Peas as Fergie? In an interview with The Sunday Times, she was dabbling in serious debauchery. Fergie says she went through a period of doing ecstasy and meth. She was also obsessed with East L.A. gangsta dudes, aka “cholos.” While I suppose that Fergie is telling the truth about her “dark past,” I’m thinking that she may have been going through what the rest of the known world calls “adolescence.” You know, that time in your life when you are confused about your identity and you make really poor choices, including experimenting with drugs, alcohol, and sex. Who is Fergie kidding? She is no hardened criminal or rehabilitated juvenile delinquent because she had a bad meth trip and slept with a couple of homies. She went to therapy, became a superstar, and now she’s married to Josh Duhamel. Yawn. [Popeater] Keep reading »

Perez Hilton Considered Calling Will.I.Am The “N” Word

Jessica WakemanJuly 7, 2009 //

Perez Hilton just got more hate-able: the bottom-feeding gossip blogger told The Advocate, a gay magazine, that during his fight with Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas, “I thought about calling him the n-word, but I thought the f-word was even worse.”
