Fergie's family is in full force in backing the singer and her Black Eyed Peas co-member will.i.am against his controversial clash with celebrity blogger Perez Hilton.

Hilton first claimed will.i.am punched him on early Monday morning after the hip-hop artist confronted him about "disrespecting" their group and member Fergie. He later admitted in a video blog that it was tour manager Polo Molina who attacked him.

Fergie has revealed she is bisexual. The Black Eyed Peas beauty, who is married to "Transformers" actor Josh Duhamel, admits she has enjoyed several lesbian trysts - but she could never fully commit to a woman.

She is quoted by Britain's The Sun newspaper as saying: "Put it this way, I've experimented definitely, but I have never had a steady girlfriend."

Fergie owns over 500 pairs of shoes. The Black Eyed Peas star - who has just launched her own footwear collection called "Fergie" - is so obsessed with buying new pairs of pumps, heels and sneakers, she has to keep building new storage space.

She said: "I'm a girl, and I love accessories. It's one of the reasons I have huge closets, and we keep making room in the house for more closets. I don't like to throw anything away."

Fergie wants a baby. The 33-year-old singer - who married "Transformers" actor Josh Duhamel in Malibu in January - is planning to get pregnant as soon as the Black Eyed Peas' summer tour is over.

She said: "I definitely want kids, but just not while I am touring with the Peas. It is not pragmatic for me to be doing 100 walkovers with a bun in the oven, so I am going to leave that for afterwards."

Fergie and her new husband Josh Duhamel are planning to adopt. The couple - who wed in a lavish ceremony in Malibu earlier this month - decided to start a family while on their honeymoon, with Josh particularly keen for them to become parents as soon as possible.

A source said: "They are seriously considering adopting."
