Fergie/Stacy Ferguson

[BobbyD 2]

Fergie Serves It Soloby Gina Serpe Fergie is gettin' it started, all right. The Black Eyed Peas' frontwoman has announced a release date for her hotly anticipated solo debut just as the album's first single, "London Bridge," climbs to the top of the Billboard charts. Her lovely lady humps must be in quite the tizzy. Fergie has announced plans to drop The Dutchess Sept. 19, marking not only her solo debut, but the first album released off fellow Pea Will.I.Am's record label--the aptly, if uninspired, named Will.I.Am Music Group. While the songbird, whose real name is Stacy Ferguson, has yet to address the story behind her album's title, it's been widely reported that it's a play on the nickname she shares with Sarah Ferguson, Britain's Duchess of York. The fact that her debut single references the U.K. could either be a sly substantiation of the rumors or simply a coincidence. In any case, while the album is billed as a solo effort that doesn't mean Fergie didn't get some help. Will.I.Am, who produced most of the record's tracks, lends his voice to the album, as do Ludacris and Rita Marley. And if the debut single's performance is any indication, the album is primed to be a success. "London Bridge" ascended to the top of the Billboard singles charts this week, reaching number one on both the Hot 100 and Hot Digital Songs charts, as well as nabbing the top slot on the iTunes Top 100. The track debuted July 17 at an unimpressive 84 on the Hot 100, only to make the jump to five in its second week. The leap marked the second biggest week-to-week jump in Hot 100 history, bested only by "Breaking Free," a track off the unstoppable High School Musical soundtrack. Fergie is currently on tour with the Peas, who are spanning the globe in support of their multiplatinum 2005 album, Monkey Business. The group's "My Humps" is also up for Best Hip-Hop Video at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 31.

Blowing Up While Going Down - 'Bridge' Hits #1Posted Aug 10th 2006 6:28PM by TMZ StaffFiled under: MusicFergie doesn't want to be known as just a chick Pea anymore, and having the #1 song on the Billboard charts might just be the way to do that. Fergie Ferg's new single "London Bridge" achieved second biggest leap in Billboard Hot 100 history last week by going from #86 to #5, was featured on this week's episode of "Entourage" and is now the top single in the country.Fergie told MTV.com "We wanted to make it more of a tough feel, which the song is."If by "tough" she means "dancing like a ho," then it appears as though the Billboard charts are going to need prophylactics.

Fergie Rules Out 'Newlyweds' Show

 

 

Black Eyed Peas singer Stacy 'Fergie' Ferguson has slammed rumors she's planning a Newlyweds-style reality show with actor boyfriend Josh Duhamel. The singer, who recently appeared in Hollywood blockbuster Poseidon, met the movie star on the set of American TV show Las Vegas. It has been rumored they are due to follow in the footsteps of pop princess Jessica Simpson and her ex Nick Lachey by appearing on a show about their relationship. But Fergie says, "We don't have any plans to work together again and we would never do a reality show, like a Newlyweds thing - absolutely not. I love to watch them, I just don't want to be on one."

Fergie: Crystal Meth 'Hardest Boyfriend'

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 11, 2006 09:00AM EST

By Stephen M. Silverman

 

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie is riding high on the success of her first solo album, The Dutchess.

 

But, as she admits in the new issue of Time, feeling high in the past meant using crystal meth.

 

"It was the hardest boyfriend I ever had to break up with," she says. "I dug deep as to why I got there. It's the drug that's addicting. But it's why you start doing it in the first place that's interesting. A lot of it was being a child actor; I learned to suppress feelings."

 

These days, performing is her outlet for those feelings. "We're on tour," she says. "I have an hour and a half of performing every night and improvising. If there's a rafter, I can climb right on."

 

And while her nickname comes from her family – "My grandpa's Fergie. My dad's Ferg. And I'm Junior," she says – she's familiar with that "other" Fergie, Britain's Duchess of York. "She called me on the phone," says the Southern California-born singer (real name: Stacy Ferguson). "We're talking about doing some charity work together, building schools."

Fergie Keeps It Real

Posted Sep 18th 2006 5:30PM by TMZ Staff

Filed under: Music

 

With her new solo CD "The Dutchess" coming out Tuesday, Fergie Fergs (aka Stacy Ferguson) opens up about her days prior to becoming the first lady of the Black Eyed Peas.

 

Fergie tells New York gay nightlife magazine HX about her struggles with the highly addictive drug crystal meth and admits "You lose weight and look great for a while, but I don't care if it takes six months or five years, it will creep up on you." She kicked the habit in 2001.

 

Fergie has been dating Hollywood hunk Josh Duhamel for a few years, but reveals she would switch teams for Mrs. Marilyn Manson, Dita Von Teese. Fergalicious!

 

The Southern California native has been touring the world with the Peas but claims she's still Stacy from the block. "I definitely am still that girl who gets home and goes straight to Jack in the Box or Taco Bell right after I land at the airport." So that's how she keeps her 'lovely lady lumps!'

 

And although she has been known to sport some serious bling, Fergie says "I was collecting unemployment when I joined Black Eyed Peas, so I really appreciate the worth of things."

 

By the looks of the success of her first single "London Bridge", so do her fans.

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie's new song is about four-in-a-bed sex.

 

The pop babe recently released her first solo single 'London Bridge' and after hinting it was about a bedroom activity the racy topic of the track has now been revealed.

 

The song, which is included on her debut solo album 'The Dutchess', refers to when two women and two men have sex and form a position to make a 'bridge'.

 

Despite writing about the racy subject, Fergie insists she has never participated in the act.

 

She is quoted as saying: "Have I ever been involved in one? No I don't think I ever have actually. No, no I haven't. But I'm definitely touching on issues that aren't childlike!"

 

Fergie, real name Stacey Ferguson, has previously refused to talk about the song's subject matter when quizzed about it.

 

In the chorus of the song she sings: "How come every time you come around, my London Bridge wanna go down?"

 

But when she was recently asked what the lyrics referred to, Fergie said: "That's the magic question. I'm not going to be specific with it because it can have several meanings. People should use their imagination."

"I'm not a promiscuous girl like I talk about in 'Clumsy,' I'm always the girl with the boyfriend in serious relationships, but I do like to play with my sexuality. I don't think that means I have to live in a morgue."

 

– Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie, to the Associated Press

Fergie shows her private side

 

NEW YORK (AP) -- In the basement of a trendy downtown hotel, Fergie sits waiting at the head of a large wooden table, scribbling notes on a yellow legal pad.

 

The sexy, spicy element of the Black Eyed Peas apologizes for wanting to meet in this stuffy, angular room rather than the trendy Asian restaurant first suggested.

 

"I just couldn't deal with a New York night out," she says.

 

She also apologizes for wearing a black Adidas track suit and knit cap -- she's simply not up for glamour today. Her nails are scuffed and bitten. She apologizes for that, too.

 

It's a different image of a performer more often seen strutting her stuff in something small, expensive and tight, her hips wiggling, boasting about her "lovely lady lumps."

 

"Maybe I'll get on the table and dance," she says with a smile.

 

The 31-year-old is preoccupied these days with her solo debut CD "The Dutchess," an eclectic collection of 13 songs she hopes will prove she's more than just a pretty Pea.

 

Containing everything from torch songs ("All That I Got," "Finally") to bouncy pop ("Fergalicious," "Clumsy"), reggae ("Voodoo Doll") and even techno ("Glamorous"), the album has germinated for years and represents her wide musical influences.

 

"That is my truth and makes me who I am," says Fergie, born Stacy Ann Ferguson. "If I'd only done one style, that wouldn't have been a truthful representation of me."

 

Lyric-wise, "The Dutchess" -- a riff on how her name is so close to Britain's Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson -- offers a more introspective Fergie, a woman willing to talk about her loves, her critics and her former meth addiction.

 

"There are a lot of times when I really dig deep on this album, whereas with the guys, I don't know if there's enough of a platform to go into all of my drama or love affairs," she says.

 

"I think it's important to represent who I am in all facets," she adds. "That's why I've talked about my struggle with drugs. I don't want to talk about it all the time because it's not a part of my life any more but I'm not running from it."

 

Based on the success of the saucy first single "London Bridge," Fergie shouldn't stress. A late entry for song of the summer, it sat atop the Billboard singles chart for three weeks -- not to mention all it did for Anglo-American relations.

 

"It was a huge landmark day for me. I was crying -- happy crying -- and running around the house calling everybody," she says when the song hit No. 1. "For it to finally happen and for the song to be successful, it's really rewarding."

 

The rest of the CD -- co-written by Fergie and produced by Ron Fair, DJ Mormile and will.i.am, the Peas' lead lyricist -- features samples from Little Richard, The Commodores and The Temptations. Guests include John Legend, Ludacris and Rita Marley.

 

"Once people get this album and hear what she's capable of as a singer and writer, I think that's when the roof blows off it," says Fair, chairman of Geffen Records. "That's when she's not just a little trifling pop girl doing disposable hits."

 

'I didn't plan to ever be in the band'

Fergie, raised in Whittier, California, may have seemed destined for that fate when she emerged at age 7 in the kiddie TV band Kids Incorporated, later graduating to the pop girl group Wild Orchid in the 1990s.

 

Wanting to make it on her own, she approached will.i.am with the hope of convincing him to help create a solo CD. She had seen the Peas live in 1998 -- before they were multiplatinum sensations -- and was an enormous fan.

 

She started off a kind of apprenticeship, adding her booming, soulful backing vocals to what would be the band's third album, "Elephunk," which had hits like "Where's the Love" and the Grammy Award-winning "Let's Get It Started." By the time will.i.am -- together with bandmates Taboo and apl.de.ap -- left for a tour of Australia in 2003, Fergie was their fourth member.

 

"I didn't plan to ever be in the band, but as things organically grew, and I started working with them for my solo album, there was some point where we made that decision," she says. "I just went with my gut."

 

Joining a tight hip-hop band that thrived onstage was more difficult than it seemed. Fergie held back at first until she could learn how to roll with the ad-libs and pick her spots.

 

There were also the catcalls and ire from long-term fans of the Peas who didn't like the band's blossoming mainstream popularity -- blaming it, in part, on the newest blonde Pea.

 

"It does get painful sometimes," she says. "I actually really had to pep-talk myself so that I could overcome those fears. It's hard when someone's sitting there staring at you. Or even mad-dogging you.

 

"Now I just get in their face."

 

In 2005, the group's "Monkey Business" turned into another multiplatinum success thanks to "My Humps," "Pump It" and "Don't Phunk with My Heart," which won another Grammy.

 

Despite the Peas' triumphs since she came aboard, she's loathe to single out herself as the reason behind their success: "I think it has to do with us. I think we all are responsible for the success of these albums," she says. "It's a team effort."

 

But it's all about Fergie on "The Dutchess." On the new album, she mixes her vulnerable and fierce sides. "Would you love me/If I didn't work out/Or didn't change my natural hair?" she asks a lover in "All That I Got." On "London Bridge," she threatens to mace pushy photographers and boasts: "I'm such a lady, but I'm dancin' like a ho."

 

"It's poking fun at certain things. I'm really not going to spray the paparazzi with mace -- I don't know if you know that about me," she says, smiling.

 

"I'm not a promiscuous girl -- like I talk about in 'Clumsy,' I'm always the girl with the boyfriend in serious relationships -- but I do like to play with my sexuality. I don't think that means I have to live in a morgue," she says (Fergie and "Las Vegas" hunk Josh Duhamel have been dating for some time).

 

Fergie thinks she'll be able to open up even more on the next Black Eyed Peas album -- no, she insists, they're not breaking up -- because her solo CD will let fans "get me and know who I am."

 

"Sometimes I feel like the underdog. But I like that because then more people will be surprised when they do see something that they like from me," she says. "I've learned that I can't please everybody."

I think she's homely and it's very strange that she peed her pants on stage but I have to admit I've got a soft spot for this girl. She seems like she's pretty honest and she certainly does have talent. And, it's got to take guts to keep putting yourself in the public eye after you've wet yourself in front of a crowd!

Black Eyed Pea Fergie looks regal in tiara (plus bra and panties) on the cover of Rolling Stone's Hot List issue. But the "Dutchess" doesn't dress up her drug addiction. She admits that, when friends and family noticed her dwindling weight, "I came up with the quickest explanation I could - bulimia." She got hooked on coke when she'd spend "all my child-actor money" so she and her girlfriends could party till noon. "Then I graduated to crystal, and it started being more about going to Home Depot at 4 in the morning and getting crafty at home," she says. Careful with those power tools, Dutchess.

Fergie's Quotes of the Day!

 

“When something is so, so sick, it’s risiculous. It’s sick and ridiculous. Risiculous. See, I have my own dictionary.”

 

“In junior high I was fascinated by gangsta rap. I was suburban, yet I had glimpses from where I lived. I’m hearing all the stories about what was going on in East L.A. and South Central, looking at it from the outside. I think I come from a whole generation of that. That’s why a lot of people can relate with me, because they lived that, too. Seeing it but not really living it. So there weren’t any of the negative consequences to the guns and all of that. It was just interesting and sexy.”

 

“There’s a song on the album called ‘Pedestal’ which is my answer back to people who don’t do anything with their lives but stay on the Internet for hours and talk shit about me. You just sit there and rip me apart, but I bet you didn’t know that I went to hell and back. Bet you didn’t know that. So this is a question to them: What are you doing with your life?”

Fergie in Complex

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie used to pretend she was bulimic to hide her

drug habit.

 

The singer - who beat her addiction to crystal meth five years ago - used to

tell her parents she was suffering from an eating disorder when they

questioned her about her rapid weight loss, caused by her heavy drug use.

 

She said: "I came up with the best explanation I could - bulimia."

 

Meanwhile, Fergie has revealed Tina Turner is her idol.

 

The pop beauty, real name Stacy Ferguson, has been inspired by Tina ever

since she saw her in concert as a child.

 

Fergie told Rolling Stone magazine: "I saw Tina Turner with my dad. She

pointed at me. That was big. I love how energetic and raw she was. Those

early impressions tell you how things are supposed to be. I've taken a lot

of that with me."

 

Fergie tells Giant mag more about her meth addiction.

 

"I got to the point where I was doing meth day and night and had no more money. I was hearing voices. I thought people were after me. I wasn't talking to any of my friends or family. I actually lost so much weight that my friends did an intervention. So I lied and said I was bulimic, just making stuff up."

 

She added:

 

"I could have written a whole album about my struggle with drugs, but I'm not sure if I'm gonna feel comfortable with people knowing my secrets."

 

Fergie on what she does for a buzz nowadays:

 

"I enjoy having a glass of wine here and there."

I really think that she didn't pee herself. I think she was sweating. The reason I say this is because I am a fitness freak/personal trainer and I sweat EVERYWHERE when I do cardio. I'm talking underarms, underboobs, crotch, lowerback, legs, arms, you name it!! Her stage performances are nothing short of an intense cardio session and she obviously sweats easily. I truly believe she is just a heavy-sweating girl like myself, not a pants-pisser.
