According to a piece in the Chicago Sun-Times titled, “Don’t get Fergie started,” things “got a little testy backstage at ‘Saturday Night Live’ this weekend when [musical guest] Fergie spied a couple of copies of People magazine — featuring the cover story about her hubby Josh Duhamel‘s alleged fling with that stripper.”
The paper goes on to report that Fergie, who performed with her band the Black Eyed Peas, threw “a mini-hissy fit,” and that she ”was in a big funk” because of lingering allegations that her husband was unfaithful.
Really?
No.
First, if you’ve been to SNL, like Gossip Cop has on more than a dozen occasions, you would know that backstage isn’t a place where copies of magazines just sit around. Everything is essentially streamlined for the sets to be moved on stage, props to be put in their proper place, and cast members to change quickly.
Second, why would old copies of People be sitting around? The Fergie-Duhamel cover story is two weeks old. (This week’s People features children who have “Vanished Without a Trace.”)
Notwithstanding, Gossip Cop checked with an SNL source, who said the Chicago Sun-Times’ story was completely made up.
And a rep for the show added, “Not true at all.”
We love when gossipers try to create drama for comedy shows.
