A teaspoon of sugar helps the medicine go down and a sexy singer/dancer/pantominer helps stale pop groups sell records. It’s pretty simple. Take a middling, directionally challenged musical group that can’t seem to get their albums to chart, add a sexy female and BAM! Success strikes and the group will start selling out the Garden, performing for the President and their lead singer will appear as a hologram on CNN to give his take on the current political climate. Or so it went for the Black Eyed Peas when will.i.am smartened up and recruited Fergie to join the group back in ‘03.
Now it seems Pharrell wants to do the same with N.E.R.D. Recently, a PYT has been seen accompanying P, Chad and Shay on stage at various tour stops, leaving people wondering who she was. Then Star Trak rapper Fam-Lay was kind enough to clear up the confusion via Twitter, letting the world know that the girl in question was named Rhea and that she was the newest member of N.E.R.D. Oh yeah, and that she’s dope! But just how dope is she? Is she good enough to make N.E.R.D. sell a milli and get Pharrell on MSNBC as a talking head? In other words, is she as good as Fergie? Keep reading for our comparison, then vote for your favorite token female…

When we heard NASCAR driver Jeremy Mayfield tested positive for methamphetamines again, it really didn’t come as much of a surprise. After all, Mayfield’s latest arrest only goes to reinforce the stereotype that NASCAR is a sport filled with white trash tweak-heads who have a problem with speeding. We keeeeed!
Mayfield is hardly the first celebrity to fall victim to the rural bathtub drug. The truth is, deep, deep down, celebrities are ordinary people—except they have way more money for drugs, way more free time for drugs, and way more get out of jail free cards than the average Joe does when it comes to drugs. Don’t believe us? Read on to see 10 celebs who love (or have loved) their crank, regardless of what Johnny Law has to say about it…

Oh, Twitter fuckery, will you know no end? It used to be we just made it up, people, but now it’s really happening. Last night, at a Much Music Awards after-party in Toronto, blogger and famewhore Perez Hilton was allegedly “assaulted” by will.i.am…or his manager…or something. Perez tweeted about it numerous times, then will.i.am came on Twitter to deny it, then they each made horrible and grating videos about their side of the story.
No, we’re not linking to any of this, because it’s fucking stupid. And then this morning, will.i.am’s manager Polo Molina apparently turned himself in to police. All of which is to say, since we have the only legitimate take on this story, we’re gonna do you the solid of relaying the entire post-brawl imbroglio as it went down**. Technology: at first you think it’s awesome, then it goes and gives us something like this….

This past weekend, in a typically Hollywood wedding service (beachfront setting, no cell phones allowed, benediction delivered by the ghost of L. Ron Hubbard), Stacey “Fergie” Ferguson married her longtime beau, “Las Vegas” actor Josh Duhamel. The betrothed had been together for four years, and it seems like they’re a perfect fit: she’s flaky in an occasionally endearing way; he’s a complete douche.
So it seems Fergie’s found true love (for now at least, the over/under on the marriage is 16 months). But just how wifey is Ms. Humps?

Hollywood sure loves them some prostitutes. Playing one used to be taboo, until Julia Roberts put trick-turning sidewalk huggers on the mainstream map in Pretty Woman, the most popular movie about hoes ever. Since then, the “hooker with a heart of gold” has become one of the industry’s most beloved characters.
But now they’ve gone too far. Today the news broke that Fergie will be playing a prostitute in the upcoming musical adaptation Nine, and we’re a little worried that her sour Fergalicious juice is going to tarnish Hollywood’s flawless streak of high-priced hoes. After the jump, check out our 10 favorite big screen hookers.
