LOS ANGELES, Calif. -- Despite being the lone female member of the Black Eyed Peas, Fergie holds her own on stage next to bandmates like Will.i.am.
Stacy Ann Ferguson (born March 27, 1975),better known by her stage name fergie, is an American singer-songwriter, fashion designer and actress. She was a member of the kids' television series Kids Incorporated, and the girl group Wild Orchid. Ferguson was also a co-host of the television show Great Pretenders. She is a vocalist for the hip hop/pop group the Black Eyed Peas, as well as a solo artist, having released her debut album, The Dutchess, in September 2006. The album spawned five Billboard Hot 100 Top 5 singles (three of which went to number one) making The Dutchess the seventh album from a female artist to spawn five Top 5 hits
Offstage, however, in the arms of her husband of less than a year, "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen" star Josh Duhamel, she melts.
"It's funny, because at work I have to be a very strong, tough woman. But when I'm with him, I just turn on this baby girl voice because... he's my big tall man," Fergie told the August 2009 issue of Marie Clare magazine.
Fergie and Josh met on the set of his former NBC show "Las Vegas," and she revealed their relationship, which led to a walk down the aisle back in January, has been everything she wanted and needed.
"I've been in a lot of relationships that were exciting but unhealthy, very Sid-and-Nancy-esque. I wanted somebody I could count on," she said. "With all the craziness of this business, I know I can count on my man -- and he knows he can count on me."
Touring with the Black Eyed Peas, who are promoting their new album, "The E.N.D.," keeps Fergie on the road. And her husband, Josh, makes things easier, by coming out to visit her whenever he can.
"We order room service and watch our shows," she told the mag of their couple time. "We love 'The Daily Show.' That's our go-to, before we go to bed -- gotta get our Jon Stewart on."
And love-themed films are also a favorite for the twosome.
"I love crying at romantic movies like 'The Notebook.' I'm always bawling. Josh is always laughing at me," she said.
Fergie told the mag that she and Josh want children, "just not during this tour"
In the meantime, Fergie has seen a mother-like shift in how she conducts herself publicly. While promoting her solo album, "The Dutchess," Fergie realized young people looked up to her.
"I wasn't trying to be a role model with 'The Dutchess,'" she said. "But suddenly, seeing little girls in the audience with their moms made me think about what I do onstage a little bit more. I had to watch my mouth, because it can be filthy. It changed things for me."
