• Now Fergie‘s mom is defending Josh Duhamel, saying, “My daughter’s life is amazing and Josh is a great guy—that story is [bs] as far as I’m concerned. It was totally ridiculous and absurd and I’m confident their marriage will weather the media storm.” [Starpulse]—Yeah, they just have to grin, hold hands, and bear it.
• Emmy Rossum met boyfriend and Counting Crows frontman Adam Duritz via Twitter. [PopEater]
• Dina Lohan has instructed her lawyers to speak with the Nassau County District Attorney’s office because she believes ex-husband Michael violated a protective order when he taped their phone conversations. [Dlisted]

“When I came home from filming he was excited. He enjoys having both: the extra meat to grab when it’s there and the tight stomach when that’s there…he’s never been critical.”

—Fergie on how her husband, Josh Duhamel, reacted when she gained weight for her role in the movie “Nine” in Cosmopolitan. This week, a stripper told the tabloids that she had a fling with Josh while he was married to the Black Eyed Peas’ singer. [Just Jared]

Have you heard about Nicole Forrester? She’s a dancer at the hilariously named Tattletale club, where she says she began an acquaintance with Josh Duhamel that ended in a one-night stand. Nicole says the National Enquirer told her the story would be published whether she participated or not, and then gave her $20K, presumably as payment for the interview and polygraph test she provided. That money does buy a lot of stripper heels, but it’s not enough to solve many problems these days. Did she just want the money or is she telling the truth? [People]

Doesn’t it seem like a lot of strippers have made claims about the men of Hollywood? After the jump, a few similar stories.

• A stripper named Nicole Forrester is claiming she had sex with Fergie‘s husband, Josh Duhamel, last month in Atlanta. [Dlisted]—Whatevs, she’s probably doing Will.i.am.
• Mark Wahlberg and his wife, Rhea Durham, are expecting another baby girl, so they’ll have two boys and two girls. [PopEater]
• AnnaLynne McCord and Kellan Lutz have rekindled their romance after a two-month split. [Starpulse]—Now that the “90210” star has faded she’s decided to get some “New Moon” attention.

• Detectives have ruled Steve McNair’s death a homicide, but they haven’t classified the death of his companion Sahel Kazemi. [TMZ]—Being “riddled with bullets” sounds like a rather painful way to die.
• Sam Ronson helped Lindsay Lohan celebrate her birthday last week. [Dlisted]
• Josh Duhamel has reportedly been using a stripper pole he and wife Fergie received as a wedding gift because his bride refused to use the device. [IMDB]—Surprising!

Before he dated Fergie, Josh Duhamel dated Danielle Staub… on “All My Children” that is. The “Real Housewife of New Jersey” who fought off the release of a sex tape last week now has her soap opera stint circulating around the web instead. While she doesn’t really do much but sit there and look pretty. It’s good to see that the woman actually did something besides take part in more than alleged drug trafficking and kidnapping plots. That’s more than I can say for Dina.

No word on whether she pissed herself at the wedding, but the ceremony took place in Malibu this weekend and the bride for Dolce & Gabbana. Do you think she is going to go by Fergie Duhamel? Also, don’t you think that sounds sort of like a foreign yogurt?

I was never really drawn to Fergie’s man Josh Duhamel before, but damn, he looks good in this tux. [On the set of the movie When In Rome, 6/20/2008]
