Fergie Unveils Wax Figure; Kim Kardashian Battles Annulment Rumors

Fergie Cups Her Wax Figure. Kim Kardashian And Kris Humphries Battle Annulment Rumors.

Former Black Eyed Peas front woman Fergie was on hand in Las Vegas at the unveiling of her wax figure. Fergie was joined by her sister Dana, mother Terri, father Pat and of course her husband Josh Duhamel (who was in the crowd snapping pictures) at the Madame Tussauds Wax Museum on Thursday night.

Dare I say that the wax figure manages to eliminate Fergie’s odd facial structure – you were thinking it to, I know.

Fergie will bring her talents later today (Friday) at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, also held in Las Vegas.

Are Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries getting an annulment?

It’s no surprise that reality TV star Kim Kardashian is one busy woman. From supporting her brother Rob on DWTS, to numerous photo shoots, launching a jewelry line and of course battling rumors of a pending divorce to her husband of a month Kris Humphries.

OK magazine took the embroiling rumors to another level when they implied the newlyweds were heading for an annulment. Last week reports surfaced that Khloe and Kourtney hate Kris and Kris Jenner had to step in for peace sake. Kris’ humor rubs them the wrong way and he rough houses little old gentle Kim to much. Despite the incessant rumors, Kim’s friends are coming to her defense.

A source reportedly told the magazine,

“Kim is really upset that people are saying she and Kris are having problems. She’s telling everyone that it’s totally false. She feels like some people are just out to get her and can’t be happy unless she’s miserable.”

“Kim has a thick skin and she acts like she doesn’t care, but it does bother her. She doesn’t understand why people hate her or what she did to deserve it, but she knows it comes with the territory.”

Kim’s friend, Jonathan Cheban, a far more credible source, offered more insight on the pressure the couple faces as oppose to denying trouble in paradise,

“It’s overwhelming. The first week, there were 200 people outside their hotel waiting for them every day. There are people camping out at 2 in the morning – not photographers, fans! It’s a lot for a guy from Minnesota.”

Finally another friend added,

“They’re not going to do anything drastic about their marriage now. Kim was appalled that anyone would even suggest that. She loves Kris and he loves her. Sure,there are some adjustments he is making to live in the public eye, but he’s been doing a great job of it.”

It’s no surprise Kim was eager to get married and a proposal after 6 months was more than she could ask for. But is there trouble in paradise? Something tells us Kim K doesn’t plan on throwing in the towel so soon not to mention she’s already planning for kids! Kris will have to do a lot more that annoy his sisters-in-law and a little roughhouse for Kim to call it quits. JS

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
