Black Eyed Peas star Fergie is pregnant with her first child.

The 37-year-old songstress took to Twitter today to announce her and husband Josh Duhamel’s happy news.

In a post on the social networking, Fergie wrote: “Josh & Me & BABY makes three!!! #mylovelybabybump (sic).”

The star posted an accompanying picture of a superimposed childhood picture of herself and her actor beau.

Duhamel copied the same message on his Twitter page, writing: “Fergie and Me and BABY makes three. #MyLovelyBabyBump (sic).”

Fergie’s representative has since confirmed the news.

Fergie and Duhamel have never hidden their desire to have children. The couple – who married at the beginning of 2009 – spoke about wanting to start a family on Oprah’s Next Chapter at the end of last year.

Talking about the number of children they would like, Fergie revealed: “We negotiated that early on. Two is our number.”

Duhamel also gushed about his wife, adding she would make a fabulous mother: “My mother was a teacher. Both of her parents were teachers. We both had to work for what we got. We’re both Catholic,” he explained. “There were a lot of things that were really compatible between us. But at the end of the day, she’s just an amazing girl.”

Adele hits back at weight critics


Adele has revealed that she would only lose weight if it affected her “health or sex life”.

The singer’s size has often been the talk of many, with fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld this year famously calling her a “little too fat”.

In an extract from forthcoming book Adele: The Biography, the singer said that she once saw a YouTube comment about pies that she thought would insult her – but it didn’t have any effect. The ‘Rolling In The Deep’ star said:

“I read a comment on YouTube that I thought would upset me – ‘Test pilot for pies’ – but I’ve always been fine with it. I would only lose weight if it affected my health or sex life, which it doesn’t.”

Another extract sees the singer talk about heartbreak songs, adding: “When I was a girl, I loved love songs, the ones about horrible relationships. Ones that made you cry.”

She took a break from music in 2010 to pursue other avenues – such as fashion and motherhood – and Cooper told NME that she wants her new music to be at least “good” before it gets a public airing:

“I’m not going to put anything out until I’ve got an end product which I think’s amazing – or, you know, good.”

The ‘It’s Not Me, It’s You’ star continued: “I don’t think there’s going to be anything out in the next few months, but hopefully in the next year.”

“As some of you may know, Gerard and I are very happy awaiting the arrival of our first baby! At this time we have decided to give priority to this unique moment in our lives and postpone all the promotional activities planned over the next few days.”

“This means I will not be able to be a part of the iHeartRadio Music Festival, but I’m sure this weekend in Las Vegas will be spectacular and I will be closely following everything that happens there!”

Jessica Simpson Reveals motivation to lose weight

Earlier this week, new mother Jessica Simpson stepped out and shocked the world with her impressive weight loss and has now revealed the reason behind her motivation to change her body shape.

The singer and presenter gave birth to her first son, Maxwell, back in May and stopped by Katie Couric’s new show yesterday (September 10) to talk about shedding the post-baby pounds.

She explained that seeing herself without clothes pushed her to lose the weight: “The easiest way to get motivated is to strip naked and look in the mirror. It’s not fun to be talked about. It’s not fun to be judged.”

She admitted that she’s lost around 40lbs so far and credited Weight Watchers with the support she needed to commit to a new healthy lifestyle plan:

“The very first time I got on the scale in my Weight Watchers meeting, my heart was pounding because I had no idea how much I weighed. I was always the girl who stood on the scale backwards because I didn’t want to face it.”

Gwen Stefani: “Being a mom is hard”

Gwen Stefani has conceded that she finds being a mother difficult.

In words that will no doubt ring true with parents across the world, the singer told Elle magazine that it is hard to strike the balance between work and motherhood.

The No Doubt singer has two children but it seems that it has been a tough journey for Stefani. She said:

“Being a mom is hard, I think a lot of working moms feel that way. [They want] to have time to be themselves as well but, um it’s really hard, there’s a price to pay. Like today, I’m here talking to you and my son is at the beach. It would be super fun to watch his little four-year-old chunky legs running around, you know.”

Stefani added that it is a “constant battle” to juggle her working life and her family life, admitting that it isn’t possible to balance both perfectly. She said:

It’s not possible. There are always days that somebody suffers…The only thing I really worry about is, again – like, I keep bringing it up because it’s my biggest stress – how do I do this and that? How do I do both? So that’s like the constant battle that I have every day. I do worry about that all the time.”
