Fergie is Set to Receive Woman of the Year Award

Black Eyed Peas star Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie is set to receive the Woman of the Year Award at the 2010 Billboard Women in Music Event. The wife of "Transformers" star Josh Duhamel will accept the honor on December 2 in a ceremony which will be held in New York.

Of the honor, Fergie said as quoted by Billboard, "I am humbled and excited to accept the Billboard Woman of the Year Award. Being honored by Billboard is a great career achievement." The event comes two days after Black Eyed Peas' new album "The Beginning" hits the U.S. stores.

Billboard's annual Women in Music event celebrates the most powerful and talented women in the music business. Fergie, who lends her voice for forthcoming movie "Arthur and the Revenge of Maltazard", will join past honorees which include Beyonce Knowles, Ciara and country music veteran Reba McEntire.

Of the "Big Girls Don't Cry" hitmaker herself, Billboard's editorial director Bill Werde said, "Fergie took the music industry by storm the moment she came onto the scene, and we're thrilled to celebrate her career achievements and incredible successes over the past year by honoring her with the Billboard Woman of the Year Award."

Werde went on, "Fergie is a unique artist with great business savvy, style and an unbelievable dedication to philanthropic efforts, making her an inspiration to aspiring female artists everywhere."

Paulina Porizkova Slams Nicole Kidman for Refusing to Age Gracefully

Outspoken former model Paulina Porizkova has taken aim at Nicole Kidman for refusing to age gracefully. The Aussie actress has never confirmed reports she has undergone cosmetic surgery - but Porizkova insists it's obvious she has had work done, and it's depressing that such a beauty had to go to such extremes.

Appearing on U.S. news show "Access Hollywood Live" on Wednesday, October 27, the retired model-turned-fashion blogger, 45, targeted Kidman for messing with perfection. She raged, "She annoys me because I think that she was one of the most beautiful women ever and one of the greatest actresses; I really looked up to her."

"And when you start doing this (cosmetic surgery) to what already is beautiful... I guess that kind of insecurity really disheartens me because it makes me feel like, 'Well then, what about me? If you're so beautiful and you're so perfect and you need to change that to a different kind of perfection, where does that leave the rest of us?' "

Porizkova now urges Kidman to do the honest thing and let the public know her looks aren't all her own, "When it's so obvious - when you grow that big mouth... - why not admit to it."

The ex-model insists she has never gone under the knife - but, like so many aging beauties, she often considers it. She adds, "I do nothing. I've done laser treatments, but I count that as nothing as technically it leaves you looking exactly the same."

"I've definitely had the desire (to remove wrinkles) and I battle with that desire on a daily basis because nothing ages as poorly as a beautiful woman's ego. I don't like to see it (youthful look) going away and I don't like this dragging down (of the face), and developing jowls and this weird neck thing, but it's age. At some point I've got to face it."
