Everybody else is doing it so why can’t Fergie?
Fergie continues the en-vogue trend of re-issuing a top selling album with new material - and she’s honest about why she’s doing it.
“That’s what everyone’s doing nowadays, I hear,” she told MTV. “The label came to me and said this would be a good idea, and I thought, ‘Well, OK, if this is another way for me to put out these songs that I’ve been wanting people to hear, then great.’ The music business is changing, and this repackage thing is a new way for people to put out songs that they want people to hear, so I’m cool with it.”
The “Deluxe Edition” of “The Dutchess” will drop in record stores on May 27th, and include a hot little number with rapper Nelly.

Black Eyed Peas will record new album together
Fergie insists the Black Eyed Peas will return to the studio together and record a new album, despite all four of the founding members being busy with their own projects.
“We don’t have an album yet, a Black Eyed Peas album,” Fergie told WENN. “We haven’t had time; everybody’s been constantly working, as we always do. But we will have an album. We’re not going away.”
“The thing with us is it’s such a great family, and we’ve always been honest with each other,” Fergie continues. “I love the beauty of having both, because being a solo artist is my dream, and it’s really important to me to have my own voice. But I also love working with the Peas. I think everybody feels the same way.”
The group are set to perform together at the Live Earth concert in London next month, and Fergie says she’s excited to be getting back together with her bandmates to perform live.
Fergie takes Alanis “diss” well
Black Eyed Peas star Fergie has reportedly taken the Alanis Morrissette remake of “My Humps” well. According to TMZ, the Fergalicious star sent flowers to Alanis after viewing the video.
A source close to the pop star told TMZ that Fergie thought Morissette’s version was “brilliant,” and admitted to getting a huge kick out of it because she has a great sense of humor about these things. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery!
Alanis Morissette remakes My Humps
Alanis Morissette released a remake of the classic Black Eyed Peas “My Humps” on April fools day for fans on the YouTube video sharing service.
The Ironic singer shot the quirky spoof in front of a huge white sheet and posted it online as an April Fool’s Day joke for her fans.
The Black Eyed Peas star Fergie is the focus of the spoof video as Morissette lampoons the group’s My Humps hit and mocks the singer’s sexy moves - badly.
In the clip, Morissette also makes fun of herself and stars like Tori Amos and Vanessa Carlton, who sing heartfelt songs behind a piano.
Fergie discusses Lesbian past
Black Eyed Peas singer Stacey “Fergie” Ferguson has revealed she has had lesbian experiences in the past, and got caught up in the drugs culture of Los Angeles.
Fergie, 31, said she rebelled against a Catholic upbringing and went on a wild sex and drugs spree when she got to 18.
She added: “I have had lesbian experiences in the past. I won’t say how many men I’ve had sex with - but I am a very sexual person.
“When I was going through my out-of-control phase, I could have got into very dangerous situations.”
Fergie, real name Stacy Ferguson, also got drawn into Los Angeles’ sordid drug and gang culture.
She added: “I had a gun put to my head during a drug deal that went wrong. Luckily I got out of it.”
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.”
Fergie To Front Candie’s Campaign

She joins past Candie’s spokespeople Destiny’s Child, Hilary Duff, Dixie Chicks and Jenny McCarthy. Candie’s is sold exclusively at Kohl’s department stores and on Kohls.com.
The first television ad of the campaign will debut during the Grammys, airing live from Los Angeles Feb. 11 on CBS.
