Picture the scene. A Black Eyed Peas PR brainstorming session:
"OK, ticket sales are through the roof for the current tour, but we still need something to keep them in Joe Normal's mind... So we'll just say Fergie and Cheryl are getting on real well and leave everything else up to the imagination of the masses?" "Naah, you know how thick the public are, they need it spelling out. Oohh, oh, ohhh... I'm having a... yes, I'm having a thought..... We can add fuel to the Will.I.Am rumour by saying Fergie plans to do Cheryl before he does." "WINNER." *High five each other out of Starbucks*
According to the usual "sources", bisexual (no doubt for the purposes of PR) Fergie has been "telling everyone she's more likely to sleep with Cheryl than Will.I.Am is. Everyone has been teasing him about his crush. But when Fergie came out with this, everyone fell about laughing. She's mentioned it a few times now. And even Cheryl thinks it's hilarious." That or she's just gibbering giggles through a giddy mixture of politeness / blinding fear.
As for Cheryl's burgeoning lesbian relationship with Fergie: "They have been spending a lot of time having girly chats. There's a lot of banter between them, the two of them are thick as thieves."
And that's what The Sun call front page news, people.
You see photos of the Black Eyed Peas's stint in London's O2 last night in this here gallery. Is anyone else wondering how Fergie gets in and out of that contraption? I bet it's rubber lined...
