Obama and Fergie: That's How They Roll

Holly Bailey
Your Gaggler fondly remembers those days during the Bush administration when the token celebrities around the White House would be people like Bo Derek and that lady from Everybody Loves Raymond. (For the record, we didn’t love Raymond.) But alas, the days of C-list celebrity sightings are…ok, they probably aren’t over yet. But with Barack Obama in residence, the White House looks like it’s going to attract some legitimate tabloid bait. Last night, the White House announced its surprise headliners for today’s Easter egg roll on the South Lawn. First of all, we can’t remember entertainment at any of these past egg soirees, unless you count watching President Bush goof around with a guy in a giant bunny suit. But this is an administration about change, and today, the kids will be rolling their eggs to… Fergie. Yes, that Fergie. The pop diva—she of, “my hump, my hump, my lovely lady lumps” fame—is set to perform, as is Ziggy Marley. Fergie’s new husband and certified hottie, actor Josh Duhamel, will be there, too, as will “Babe” actor James Cromwell. According to the White House, they'll read books to the kids. But let’s get back to Fergie. Your Gaggler is now truly convinced that Sasha and Malia are now officially running things over there, as the median age for these Easter parties are usually well below the age range of Fergie fans. We’re talking toddlers, folks, and they definitely aren’t Fergalicious--at least not yet anyway, we hope. But Fergie will have at least one thing in common with the bulk of her audience tomorrow: She knows what it's like to really need a diaper.
