By Robin Leach

Showbiz stars turned out for yesterday’s sunset Malibu wedding between superstar singer Fergie, 33, and her beau, actor Josh Duhamel, 36, exactly as we had reported over New Year’s Eve when the couple stayed here at the Palazzo after her Venetian concert and Lavo club countdown.

While Paris Hilton was ringing in the New Year Down Under, former beau and Good Charlotte frontman Benji Madden was right here in Las Vegas.

He wound up having so much fun, he went right over his scheduled 90-minute set time. “He was in a great mood, and it looks as ... Read more...

By Robin Leach

There’s no question that pop superstar Fergie is “over the moon” happy in love with actor Josh Duhamel. There’s no doubt the handsome, lip-locked couple will tie the knot almost immediately. However, her lips were sealed about the exact date when I talked with her — even though she proudly showed me her engagement ring and chatted about marriage and starting a family! But in talking to her friends during her Las Vegas visit with Josh and their respective families, it looks as if five days from now — this Saturday, Jan. 10 — Fergie and Josh will marry and ...
