Black Eyed Peas Get The Grammys Party Started
The Black Eyed Peas’ annual Peapod has become one of the staples of L.A.’s Grammy Week. And as with past years, the band had a lot of friends on hand to help them raise money for the Black Eyed Peas Peapod Music and Arts Academy in Watts. In additon, the troupe also took time to honor Interscope head Jimmy Iovine.
Following a video tribute to Iovine, the Peas launched the festivities, appropriately enough, with ‘Let’s Get It Started.’ The collaborative tone was set right away when unnanounced guest Slash came up and laid down a solo near the end of the song. Playing before a star-studded audience that included Mary J. Blige, Eve and Dr. Dre, the group ran through an energetic four-song set, including ‘Pump It,’ which got the crowd bumping. Then Will took over the stage, doing an extended freestyle rap that brought out Wyclef Jean.
Fergie Works It
Going solo is a brave venture. So Fergie must have felt some nerves stir when she departed the Black Eyed Peas for a break.
But she needn’t have worried.
‘Cos people are loving her and her lovely lady lumps - a fact she made the most of at the Pepsi Smash concert in Florida.
She worked the fans and then moved on to her fellow performers… John Legend being one of them.
And she did it all while wearing a tiara.
Fergie Says Black Eyed Peas Will Reunite
Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas insists the band are not breaking up for good, and also took the time to dispel rumours she’s engaged and pregant with her current boyfriend.
The Fergalicious performer says: “We’re all kind of spreading our wings right now, and are doing with solo projects that we’ve always wanted to do. … We’ve been touring together for four years and it’s time to take a breath. But we’ll definitely reunite. It’s just a matter of when.”
Fergie wants to set the record straight, again: She and her boyfriend, Las Vegas star Josh Duhamel, are not engaged.
“I’ve heard that I’ve been engaged probably about seven times, and pregnant, but I’ve never been either,” she told reporters in Miami on Thursday. “Sorry to disappoint.”
