Singer Fergie on giving up gangs and drugs

October 11, 2009

As Stacy Ann Ferguson the most famous woman on earth we know next to nothing about? This year, with her group the Black Eyed Peas (if in doubt, turn on the radio), she has spent a record-breaking consecutive 26 weeks at the top of the US singles chart. This Christmas she’ll be singing the showstopper in Nine, the Oscar-bait musical co-starring Daniel Day-Lewis and Nicole Kidman, after the producer Harvey Weinstein personally earmarked her for the role. Then there’s her clothing line, her film-star husband and a solo album that has shifted several million copies. In fact, she has every clichéd accoutrement of modern fame going, yet mention her to people (well, people who read Grazia) and they only ever recall two facts about the woman we have come to know as “the other Fergie”. One, she used to be addicted to crystal meth. Two, she once wet herself on stage.
