Famous people are clearly just different than regular people. They have teams of stylists, hair people and make up people who cater to their every whim. They have their photos taken everywhere they go, and they have their image scrutinized by fashion blogs, gossip mags and celeb TV shows. Which is all why I find it a little weird that former Black Eyed Pea Fergie decided to go out like this…
Fergie hopes you know that this has nothing to do with you. It’s personal — she’s got some figuring out to do.
Although only last year, the singer-actress said of her family life, “You can be a mother and still be completely sexy … [but] right now, I don’t want anything clouding my focus,” it seems she may have changed her tune.
The Dutchess recently announced that she’ll be taking some time off from her career as a solo hit-maker to get in touch with her domestic side — and hubby Josh Duhamel. Read more… Keep reading »
“I completely understand. [Christina is] one of the best singers of our time. Nobody can take that away. But you get nervous at these things. We’re human. It’s such a huge venue, your nerves take a hold of you.”

“I just look for a really nice a**! No. You grow up and you realize it isn’t just about the aesthetic. It’s about whether or not that person makes you better and whether or not that person makes you happy. You’re lucky if you can find it.”
—Josh Duhamel says that it took some maturing to realize what he was actually looking for in a relationship. And, awww, he found Fergie. Too bad his character in “The Romantics” hasn’t been so lucky. [People] Keep reading »
It seems every celebrity has a fragrance nowadays, and oftentimes you get the feeling the celebrity slapped their name on the perfume bottle without regard for what was actually in it. This is not the case with Outspoken by Fergie. The singer not only worked with Avon for two years to develop the fragrance, but also, somehow, captured her essence in a bottle. Keep reading »
“You know, in Italy, Catholic boys are raised to believe there are two types of women: the Madonna and the whore … And me? I’m both.”

“It has hurt me in the past when people say things like how ‘fugly’ I am or how horrible I look. I’ve had to learn not to give it such a high priority in life…. Look, when you’re trying to juggle all of this in your life, sometimes you’re not going to look perfect. I don’t have time to get a facial every couple of days.”

“I’m not going to lie: There are times I play mind tricks on myself, like that the French fries are poison. With desserts, I’ll let myself have just one bite, but I’ll look like a freak when I’m eating it, like when I did Duncan Hines commercials as a kid, just savoring every morsel.”

I found this clip of Stacy Ferguson (aka Fergie) when she was on “Kids Incorporated,” the show that was only like the most major inspiration of my childhood. I know you remember it, too. The plot was a little bit sketchy—a bunch of kids were in a rock band together and somehow were forced to face important issues each week like violence or drugs. All of this was interspersed with cheesy performances. But it didn’t matter that it made no sense—it was totally genius. Now I’m kind of laughing my ass off at this hee-haw version of Whitney Houston’s “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” but at the time that it came out, it provided me weeks of entertainment in front of the mirror with my hairbrush. It was even the first CD I ever purchased. When I was 12, my childhood dream came true when I actually got to audition for “Kids Incorporated.” Naturally I chose to sing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun.” I didn’t get the part … that vajazzling b**ch Jennifer Love Hewitt nabbed the role, but I eventually got over it and remained a loyal fan. After the jump a few more of my favorite clips from “Kids Incorporated.” Oh, the memories. [BuzzFeed]
