FERGIE has spoken out to set the record straight on rumors she’s leaving the Black Eyed Peas.

Reports last week claimed the sexy singer was set to quit the group due to tensions with bandmate will.i.am. But Fergie has denied the claims.

“I get girlfriends phoning me saying, ‘Are you okay? Is everything alright? Is it true?’,” she said.

“I really don’t know where these rumors come from but I can say right now I’m not pregnant and I’m not breaking up.”

Kristen Bell prefers Fergie to the singer’s husband Josh Duhamel, even though she stars opposite him in her new movie.

The actress appears alongside Josh in When In Rome, a romantic comedy about a woman who is desperate to find the perfect partner.

Kristen loved making the film because she gets on so well with Josh, and enjoyed seeing how devoted he is to his Black Eyed Peas singer spouse.

“I look for guys who are friendly and safe, like Josh. I love Josh with all my heart and it’s a safe relationship, because I’m fully aware of how wholeheartedly he loves his wife,” she explained.

“There’s never going to be confusion there because he loves his wife, I see that. I love his wife too – I like her better than I like him! I love having relationships that are safe and fun and real.”

Kristen and Josh have been praised for the chemistry they have on-screen, which she says came naturally. They were both aware they wanted the movie to look as real as possible, and were lucky as they got on so well.

David Guetta has revealed that his record label forced him to hold back on releasing his new single as it didn’t want it competing against songs he had produced for the Black Eyed Peas.

The French DJ, who is gearing up to release ‘Gettin’ Over You’ which features Fergie, Chris Willis and LMFAO, admitted that he had to wait until Peas tracks ‘I Gotta Feeling’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ were released first.

Speaking to DS about his new single, he said: “It’s funny because the Black Eyed Peas really loved this song and wanted it for their album, but I told them that I’d already given them ‘I Gotta Feeling’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ and said, ‘I’ve got to keep something for myself, you know?!’

“I’ve had to sit on the track for ages actually because we’re on the same label and they didn’t want it going in competition with the Peas!”

Guetta also confessed that he eventually allowed Peas member Fergie to feature on the song after she continued to ask if she could record vocals for it, even after it appeared on his One Love LP.

Check out an interview he did with DS below:

It was always going to be tough for David Guetta to top 2009, but he’s doing his damnedest to achieve the impossible. He’s already picked up a Grammy for last year’s ‘When Love Takes Over’ and produced the brilliant ‘Acapella’ for Kelis – and now he’s releasing single number five from his One Love LP, ‘Gettin’ Over You’, a track which features no fewer than three guest vocalists. As you can imagine, when we heard he was in town, we jumped at the chance for a catch-up.

How would you describe the new single?
“It’s one of my more traditional guitar-sounding club tracks – in the vein of ‘Love Is Gone’. It’s funny because the Black Eyed Peas really loved this song and wanted it for their album, but I told them that I’d already given them ‘I Gotta Feeling’ and ‘Rock Your Body’ and said, ‘I’ve got to keep something for myself, you know?!’ I’ve had to sit on the track for ages actually because we’re on the same label and they didn’t want it going in competition with the Peas!”

It features a whole host of guest artists. How did you get them all involved?
“Even after I refused to let the Peas have it, Fergie was still saying, ‘I love that track!’ So I said, ‘If you still want to do it, then we’ll do it together’. I wanted to keep Chris Willis on there because I’ve been working with him since the beginning. I’m pleased for him actually, because Fergie’s obviously huge and this will bring more attention to him. He’s the best singer on the planet.”

Naomi Campbell celebrated her 40th birthday at the Hôtel du Cap Eden Roc at Cap d’Antibes over the weekend. The supermodel – who wore Versace – and her Russian boyfriend, Vladislav Doronin, welcomed the likes of Jennifer Lopez, the Dolce & Gabbana boys, Marc Jacobs, Eva Herzigova and Eva Cavalli to the Tiger-themed bash.

On tonights episode of The City, Fergie shows up at a photo shoot for Elle magazine.

There will be drama when Olivia and her colleague Erin clash over how to dress the singer, who seems to have pretty strong ideas about what she wants to wear in the photos.

Meanwhile, Whitney, who’s also been feuding with Olivia, will meet the hunky French photographer that we saw in the trailer for season 2.

And, according to a release from MTV, Whitney is torn when the photographer wants to have a more serious relationship with the budding fashion designer. Maybe it’s because she’s already dating another reality star!

The City airs Tonight (10:30 p.m. EST) on MTV right after The Hills.

Avon Products, Inc. is proud to be the exclusive Fragrance and Cosmetics sponsor of BlackBerry® presents The Black Eyed Peas “The E.N.D. World Tour 2010,” with Bacardi®, as the Official Spirit sponsor.  

The sponsorship comes on the heels of the company’s announcement that it partnered with The Black Eyed Peas front-woman Fergie to collaborate on a fragrance, called “Outspoken.”  

The fragrance, to be available exclusively through over 6 million Avon Representatives worldwide, is scheduled to launch in Western Europe in May 2010, followed by launches in North America, Latin America and other global markets in the coming months.

Fergie, a multi-talented singer, songwriter, fashion designer and actress, worked closely with Avon to design this fragrance, which exudes independence, confidence and femininity.  

“Outspoken” captures Fergie’s bold expression and magnetic appeal in a floral fruit fragrance with a raw, sexy, unexpected edge.

“Outspoken is for the woman who needs no introduction,” says Fergie.  ”She is fearless… true to herself and her beliefs.  She knows what she wants and isn’t afraid to ask for it or speak her mind. The scent is bold with a Rock-n-Roll Boudoir vibe that will shock you.”

At select stops along the tour, Avon will host an exclusive “Outspoken” booth, where concert attendees can sample Fergie’s fragrance firsthand.  As part of this interactive experience, guests can also learn more about “Outspoken” and Avon through videos and websites.
