WTF: Fergie dyed her hair brown to help her “evolve” into an adult

Bang — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 23:33:43 +0000

Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has revealed she swapped her blonde tresses for glossy dark locks earlier this year because she was married and wanted to look “more mature”.

The 34-year-old star – who wed ‘Transformers…’ star Josh Duhamel in January – said: “I’ve always been blonde, but it’s a new time in my life. It felt like it was time to evolve.”

Fergie has also stopped wearing revealing outfits to enhance her new “serious” image and claims it is being love which inspired her transformation.

She explained: “I’ve been in a lot of relationships that were exciting but unhealthy. I wanted somebody that I could count on. With all the craziness in the business, I know I can count on my man – and he knows he can count on me.”

The couple don’t yet have any children, but Fergie has already changed the way she behaves in preparation for motherhood.

She added: “Suddenly, seeing little girls in the audience with their mothers made me think about what I do on stage a bit more. I had to watch my mouth, because it can be filthy. It changed things for me.”

The Black Eyed Peas were guests on the Late Show with David Letterman Tuesday night and performed their new single, “I Gotta Feeling” Live, to kick off their first group album in three years.

will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie tore it up for delighted fans on Letterman kicking off the release of their new album, The E.N.D, on June 9.

From the Black Eyed Peas wikipedia page:

Group front man will.i.am told Billboard that The E.N.D stands for “The Energy Never Dies”, which describes his model for a project that will be living and frequently updated throughout its designated cycle. “It’s a diary … of music that at any given time, depending on the inspiration, you can add to it,” the artist/producer/songwriter explains. “I’m trying to break away from the concept of an album. What is an album when you put 12 songs on iTunes and people can pick at it like scabs? That’s not an album. There is no album anymore.” He describes the music as “a lot of dance stuff, real melodic, electronic, soulful. We call it, like, electric static funk, something like that.

New Black Eyed Peas Video….or is it an Ad for HP?

Duncan Riley — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 05:58:02 +0000

The Black Eyed Peas are back with a new album and the video for the first single “Boom Boom Pow” has been released.

The premise of the fairly understated video is to show the band going “into the digital afterlife.” Says Fergie: “So the transformation is us going into a sort of birth or cocoon…And coming out the other end as forms of energy. It’s a parallel to the music industry. Now everything is downloaded.”

The one interesting thing in the video is the opening scene and the final scene: The first 5 seconds focuses on a band member using a HP Touchsmart. The final scene zoom back to show the same HP, although there’s no mention of the Touchsmart on screen…instead you clearly see the HP logo.

Fergie has already appeared in HP commercials late last year, so the tie-in is not surprising. The blatant nature though is something a little special. I guess musicians raging against corporations are a thing of the past, replaced instead by the offer of high paying product placements.

Here’s the ~~HP advertisement~~ Black Eyed Peas Boom Boom Pow video:

Fergie and Josh Duhamel finally got married

Samantha DeWitt — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 12:00:09 +0000

The long-awaited wedding of Fergie and Josh Duhamel finally took place in Malibu California on Saturday, Jan 10.

The ceremony has been described as having a white fantasy theme and the exhanging of vows took place under magnolias, and the venue was filled with thousands of white roses, People magazine is reporting.

Fergie, 33, who is not usually famous for her class and sense of style, wore a Dolce & Gabbana gown Apparently it was a fitted, white ruched, corseted wedding gown with a mesh tulle overlay, spaghetti straps and a long train. The veil was also designed by Dolce & Gabbana.

Duhamel, 36, also wore Dolce & Gabbana, as did the 10 bridesmaids who were in black dresses and the matching groomsmen in black suits and white ties.

Fergie sings with her band the Black Eyed Peas, and Josh Duhamel is the star of the Las Vegas televison series. The pair met on the set of Las Vegas in 2004 when Fergies guest starred, and they got engaged in 2007.

People is also reporting that Fergie carried a bouquet of white flowers studded with crystals. The couple exchanged H.Stern rings, with each band engraved with special personal messages by the bride and groom. Her engagement ring had a round, 4-carat brilliant cut diamond set amid other diamonds, with colors ranging from white to cognac. A narrow colored diamond wedding band was designed to match. Duhamel’s ring was made of 18K white gold with a brush finish.

Guests included Rebecca Romijn and Jerry O’Connell, Mario Lopez, Stacy Keibler, Kid Rock, Slash, Kate Hudson he members of Black Eyed Peas including will.i.am, and Duhamel’s Las Vegas costars James Caan, Molly Sims and Vanessa Marcil.

No one will verify that they agreed to make the ultimate sacrifice in their wedding vows, that’s right they each offered to the other their last gram.

Fergie and Josh Duhamel Will Wed in January

Meieli Sawyer — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 01:55:39 +0000

Access Hollywood revealed exclusively today that Fergie and Josh Duhamel will get married on the weekend of January 9th, just a year-ish after they got engaged. The Dutchess and Duhamel are going to get hitched in Southern California.

Fergie’s news dropped just a day after she wrapped up filming in Europe for the film Nine, in which she plays a prostitute– kinda ironic. Daniel Day-Lewis stars in Nine as Guido Contini along with Penelope Cruz, Marion Cotillard, Kate Hudson, Nicole Kidman, and Sophia Loren, and some of Fergie’s co-stars are rumored to be making an appearance at the sure-to-be-star-studded event.

I hope all the bloggers play nice and don’t call her butterface on her big day.

Fergie HP Commercial avoids showing Fergie’s head

Duncan Riley — Mon, 03 Nov 2008 01:47:22 +0000

Stacy Ann Ferguson, aka Fergie, solo artist and vocalist for the Black Eyed Peas has appeared in a new commercial for HP.

Fergie, now known as “The Digital Duchess,” runs through her various uses of her HP computer in the one minute spot:

“My computer is like a virtual autobiography… I love finding new dance moves online… Totally reminds me of my first tour with the Peas… Check it out, my new shoe line. Working on an eco-friendly style next. Green is the new black, baby… My computer holds my past but there’s plenty of room in there for my future.”“My computer is like a virtual autobiography… I love finding new dance moves online… Totally reminds me of my first tour with the Peas… Check it out, my new shoe line. Working on an eco-friendly style next. Green is the new black, baby… My computer holds my past but there’s plenty of room in there for my future.”

The interesting part of the commercial isn’t yet another popstar pimping computers for a living, it’s what’s missing from the commercial: Fergies head!

Most of the time all we see of Fergie is her body, and occasionally the very bottom of her head, including chin and mouth. Where her head comes into full shot (nearly) at 0:45, it is obscured by some sort of large plastic object.

Fergie does have an amazing voice, but a stint on crystal meth left her early attractive looks looking a little the worse for wear. Still, to nearly entirely exclude the head of a celebrity in a celebrity endorsement is taking things to extremes…her head may be a little wicked, but it doesn’t scare small children…well mostly.

Here’s the (mostly) headless Fergie HP commercial:
