Fergie is Blender Magazines Woman Of The Year

Fergie has been named Woman of the Year by Blender magazine.  She is the cover girl for their January/February 2008 issue.  (more pics below) Here’s a little bit of the interview: 

So, how do you feel about being named Blender’s Woman of the Year?
It feels like such an accomplishment. I’ve been working in this industry since I was 7, and I’m finally being commended for those years. And — [sniffles] I can’t believe you made me cry. I’m so embarrassed. And I’m ing up my eyeliner.

On marrying her hunky boyfriend of 3 years Josh Duhamel:
“We’re practically married, anyway,” she tells Blender magazine’s January/February issue. “I’m madly in love with him. He understands how to treat a woman and give me respect.”

Do you ever wish you’d been a star in the days before the Internet destroyed celebrity mystique?
At this point, no. People put celebrities on a pedestal and act like they’re perfect. But I’m more like the people’s artist — the same way Diana was “the people’s princess.” I’m a little more human than other artists. I’m not afraid to show my flaws and have a laugh about it.

So people can relate to you. They see what you’ve been through, and they think, Oh, I’ve had a bad day like that, too.
You have?

Well, no, I haven’t peed myself onstage.
You haven’t had to go straight onstage after being late for a show, then jumped up and down while singing “Let’s Get Retarded.” OK, mother? I was late, so I didn’t go to the restroom before I went onstage. It was horrible. But, whatever. It happened.
