Fergie Archives

Fergie stops by the New York City showroom of her new shoe brands - Fergie and Fergalicious - on Wednesday to discuss launch plans for the lines.

The 33-year-old Fergalicious shoe designer said, “I have always loved fashion because it’s a great way to express your mood. And I’m definitely a shoe lover. The right pair of shoes can change the feel of an outfit, and even change how a woman feels about herself. A woman can wear confidence on her feet with a high stiletto, or slip into weekend comfort with a soft ballet flat.”

Both fancy footwear brands for Brown Shoes will debut in stores in February 2009.

Josh Duhamel goes to the shore of Hudson Bay near Churchill, Manitoba, Canada on Wednesday to learn first-hand how climate change is affecting the polar bear population.

The 36-year-old Transformers star told ET Canada, “The bears sort of symbolize something global and if we think globally, we have to think locally and if we’re thinking locally we have to be conscious of things we can do to reduce, you know? They’re just amazing creatures, they’re just awesome. The more I learn, the more interesting they are.”

Josh joined scientists from Polar Bears International on the excursion. He toured the area on a Tundra Buggy and in a helicopter and also recorded a PSA for the non-profit organization.

Earlier this week, Josh and Fergie walked their dog in a canyon park area in Los Angeles. The couple is heading to North Dakota for the start of the holidays this week, to spend Thanksgiving Day with their parents and are currently planning a 2009 wedding.

DIGITAL DUTCHESS

Fergie talks about her designs and provides a glimpse into her world in the latest HP commercial.

“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.”

Kudos to the Hewlett-Packard team for another fun and creative commercial. (Gwen Stefani made a similar one last year.) For more information, visit HP.com/fergie.

The Black Eyed Peas will finish recording their fifth album, “The E.N.D.,” at Metropolis Studios in London, reports Billboard.

The album title doesn’t mean it’s BEP’s final album though. “No, no — it stands for ‘The Energy Never Dies,’” explains producer and group member will.i.am.

He goes on to say that he’s tempted to release “The E.N.D.” this year because this will be the final year where physical sales are significant. He predicts: “For the last remaining stores that sell CDs, this is the last Christmas that CDs will be in stores. It’s f—ing scary.”

will.i.am, who was the mastermind behind the viral “Yes We Can” song backing Barack Obama’s Presidential campaign, added that he wants BEP’s music to be interactive, offering embedded information and even “songs within songs” when the user clicks on a pop-up.

“We’re just finishing the songs and collaborating with the software guys,” says will.i.am. “I’m tired of making songs for the radio and for MTV. You should make songs for where songs are actually being listened and played. We have new people — software programmers. They are just as important as me, apl.de.ap, Taboo and Fergie. That’s us, the visual members. But nowadays it isn’t just physical with music and content anymore — you have to have proprietary software. Just borrowing other people’s sh– doesn’t empower the growth and how you monetize that content, so that’s why it’s important that we got a software guy that is part of the Peas.”

WHAT DO YOU THINK of this “interactive music” — YAY or NAY?

13 of the world’s most renowned female singers pose with song creators/producers LA Reid and Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds at Fashion Rocks to sing “Just Stand Up!”, the worldwide charity single benefiting Stand Up 2 Cancer at Radio City Musical Hall in New York City on Friday.

Keyshia Cole, Leona Lewis, Fergie, Ciara, Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Mary J Blige, Rihanna, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Ashanti, Nicole Scherzinger and Natasha Bedingfield are all decked out in their black Stand Up To Cancer t-shirts.

All three major TV networks, NBC, ABC and CBS will create a roadblock at 8pm EST on Friday to broadcast the event. Hosts include Halle Berry, Jessica Alba, Sheryl Crow, Charles Barkley and Melissa Etheridge.

“For the first time we can envision the possibility of stopping cancer in its tracks,” the group said in its mission statement. “But just when science is on the verge of giving us the breakthroughs that can end cancer, the will and the funding to do so are disappearing from the national agenda and from our collective consciousness.”

JUST STAND UP!

Here are some personal photographs of Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren from last Thursday at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. There, Sen. Barack Obama was the first African-American to be officially nominated as a candidate for U.S. president by a major party.

Cash blogged about his experience at the DNC, saying, “This was our first trip as a family… It’s always nerve-racking for new parents to fly with their child because you never know if you’re going to ruin everyone else’s flight with a screaming baby. (To date, Honor has been a great baby. Rarely crying. Opting to express herself through simple Haiku’s or interpretive dance instead…yeah right. My girl’s got opinions. lol).”

Jess and Cash went to the convention in a limo with celebrity pals Fergie, Rosario Dawson, Wilmer Valderrama and Kerry Washington. Also pictured inside at the DNC: model Lily Cole and Without a Trace star Enrique Murciano
