Woman of the Year

Fergie Named ‘Woman of the Year’ By Glamour Magazine

Fergie is having a great 2010! And now, she’s been named as ‘Woman of the Year‘ by Glamour Magazine. What sets her apart from all of the other ladies and landed her the title? Fergie’s soaring vocals and sex appeal have made her an unstoppable musical force, both as a solo artist and with the Black Eyed Peas. She’s shown a real social conscience, working for causes from AIDS to cancer. Some of what you can read in the December issue of Glamour in Fergie’s interview:

Per Glamour:

On reaching this level of success and fulfilling her dreams:
“For some lucky reason or gift from God, I’ve known what I wanted to do since I was a little girl. And even through disappointments and rejection, there was something inside of me that wouldn’t give up. I’m a survivor, and I’m very driven.”

On having self-esteem:
“[If] you start making the right choices for yourself, all of a sudden you start feeling better and better. You’d be surprised how addicting high self-esteem is.”

On her relationship with husband Josh Duhamel being featured in the tabloids:
“Just knowing that our relationship was stronger than that. We live in a voyeuristic world, and it’s part of our business. But I like to [focus on] all the perks that I get in this business.”

Her advice to young women:
“There were periods of my life when a lot of people didn’t believe in me. [But] I still had faith in myself. I really had to ask myself life questions. Where do I see myself in five years? Create a ladder for yourself, and walk up the steps. Climb that ladder.”

Her advice to teenage girls:
“I think a lot of you teenagers try to get [esteem] from accolades from other people, or boys, and what you learn as you get older is that you have to create that within yourself.”

She’s looking fierce on the cover of Glamour! Congrats! What do you think of Glamour’s Women of the Year? Share your thoughts in the comments!

Courtney Love Named Elle’s ‘Woman of the Year’

Did I miss the memo stating an early Aprils Fools Day this year? Wild and unbridled musician Courtney Love was just recently named “Woman of the Year” at the 2009 Elle Style awards in London. Yes, the Courtney Love that goes bat-crazy on her blogs spewing a bunch of incoherent rubbish and gives Amy Winehouse a run for her money in the train-wreck department.

Love, who entertained the camera crews with impersonations of Joan Crawford and Bette Davis, wore a Riccardo Tisci for Givenchy black fish-tailed gown worn with a little shrug encrusted with jet and black sequins. The dress caught her eye several weeks ago at the Haute Couture collection presentation for spring in Paris. In her acceptance speech she thanked Elle’s Editor in Chief Lorraine Candy for choosing her to be an Elle cover star, and for helping her to turn her life around this year.

Lets hope she really is turning her life around… at least for daughter Frances Bean’s sake! But then again, there’s no place else to go besides up for this woman!
