FERGIE may not be so proud of her past, but she’s certainly not afraid to talk about it — even if her publicist practically throws a fit every time she does. The First Lady of the Black Eyed Peas chatted it up in an interview with Britain’s Times newspaper, openly talking about her drug-filled days. “It started with ecstasy,” she said. “I loved ecstasy. Loved it, loved it. It was great at first, then it just went…” Down.

Fergie has also admitted she used to have a crystal meth problem. She’d been harassed in the past about rumors that she was so drugged up once that she spent 8 hours talking to a hamster. Finally, years ago, she corrected an interviewer about the story: It was a hamper, not a furry rodent. And, sadly, the rest was true.

The 34-year-old singer got it together, though. She’s put out plenty of hits, married actor Josh Duhamel, and has managed to stay in the spotlight — for mostly good reasons (there was that stage-wetting thing in 2005, but whatever). And, maybe most importantly, she’s been clean for over 10 years. Still, it wasn’t a walk in the park getting clean, and coming this far. “It’s an epidemic, and it’s important to talk about it because it’s a very, very hard thing to stop,” she said.
