Fergalicious Fergie!
  Nothing
has stopped Fergie from being the hottest female who is part of the
electric band known as the Black Eyed Peas. Stacy Ann Ferguson was born
on March 27, 1975 being an American singer-songwriter, rapper, fashion
designer and actress.
Ferguson was born in Hacienda Heights, California, the daughter of
Terri Jackson (née Gore) and Patrick Ferguson. She is of Mexican, Irish,
Scottish and Native American descent. She studied dance and began to do
voice-over work, providing the voice for Sally in two
made-for-television Peanuts cartoons and from 1984 to 1989, she starred
on the TV show Kids Incorporated. All that time, she was a cheerleader,
straight-A student and a spelling bee champion, as well as a Girl Scout.
Ferguson was a member of the female trio Wild Orchid, which she
fronted with Stefanie Ridel and fellow Kids Incorporated star Renee
Sandstrom. Wild Orchid released two albums, but after completing a third
album, their record label declined to release it, and she left the group
shortly thereafter. One thing she took after her time there was her
addiction to crystal meth.
It was during the whole “Where is the Love?” single where Justin
Timberlake joined where Fergie got a taste of the Black Eyed Peas where
there was a supposed link between her and the ‘Sexyback’ singer. She
then got together with fellow Black Eyed Peas member apl.de.ap. when
William Adams (will.i.am) invited Ferguson to try out for a song called
“Shut Up”. She got the gig and instantly bonded with the trio, going on
to record five additional songs on the album and became a permanent
member of the band.
Her debut solo album, The Dutchess, was released on September 19,
2006. The album’s name is a misspelled variant of the title of Sarah
Ferguson, the Duchess of York, with whom Ferguson shares a surname and
popular nickname.
The album is similar in style to that of the Black Eyed Peas, as
fellow Peas member will.i.am is the album’s executive producer. “Big
Girls Don’t Cry” became Ferguson’s first worldwide number-one single,
and is her most successful single to date. After releasing her debut
solo album, The Dutchess she and the Black Eyed Peas in late March 2009
released their song “Boom Boom Pow” from the album The E.N.D. (Energy
Never Dies), which went to number-one in the U.S. Billboard Hot 100
charts, the group’s first chart topper. Ferguson and actor Josh Duhamel
met and began dating in September 2004. The two married in January 2009
and are planning to have a baby in 2010. |
