Disclosure- I have been provided an all expense paid trip to Los Angeles for the Big Hero 6 movie premiere and ABC TV Event in exchange for coverage of these events. All opinions are 100% my own. Thank you so much Disney and ABC TV! 
While in Los Angeles a few weeks ago we had the opportunity to interview 8 time Grammy award winning artist, Fergie. Fergie has many accolades on her resume including hosting New Years Rockin’ Eve 9 tmes, winning 2007 top pop rock female for solo record for Dutchess which went on to sell 6.2 million copies world wide, and winning 5 AMA’s as a member of the multi-platinum group The Black Eyed Peas. 
Fergie was simply adorable and such a tiny little thing. You would never know she just had baby Axl a year ago. She was so sweet and gave off such a cool, easy going vibe. We were lucky enough that she sang a bit for us which was amazing of course! I wish I could have shared the audio with my readers!
Fergie has lots of big news coming up. She is performing at AMAs and co-hosting and performing at the New Years Rockin’ Eve . We asked her how she keeps it all straight and has time for everything and she said she used iCal to keep her schedules organized- one color for time with her husband, one color for mommy time with her baby boy, and one color for time for thing for just her like her career. She said it is all about give and take time-wise to balance a busy life. For example the weekend she is performing on both shows she admits won’t be a good “mommy” week for her and her baby but she’ll make it up with him the next weekend. Just like any other mom juggling career, family, and personal time, it is all about that right balance. She said she is a true believer of needing “me time”.
Fergie does so much more than music such as acting, entertaining, and fashion. She told us that besides entertainment and music her favorite thing to do career-wise is fashion.
We asked Fergie what the inspiration behind her new single, LA Love (LaLa) and she said she is proud of her hometown of LA so it is partly inspired by Los Angeles. She has traveled so much around the world over the last 10 years so she also wanted to share her love of places all around the world so LA Love is also her love letter to the world.
Here’s some information on the Fergie and the AMA’s: Dick Clark productions announced that Fergie, Lorde and One Direction will join the growing list of superstars set to perform at the 2014 American Music Awards. Fergie will take to the stage to make her worldwide television debut performing her first single, since 2006, “L.A. LOVE (la la),” from her upcoming album. The evening will have performances by many musicians and be host, Pitbull. The 2014 American Music Awards will broadcast live from the NOKIA Theatre L.A. LIVE on SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 23 (8:00-11:00 p.m., ET/PT) on ABC.
Fergie recently announced that she has been in the studio working on the follow-up to her 2006 solo album “The Dutchess,” which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard Top 200 and spent 94 weeks on the chart. The album went on to sell 6.2 million copies and 28.5 million tracks worldwide and spawned three No. 1 hits on the Hot 100: “London Bridge,” “Glamorous,” and “Big Girls Don’t Cry,” as well as the Top 5 singles “Fergalicious” and “Clumsy.” Since “The Dutchess’” release, Fergie has also released two multi-Platinum albums, “The E.N.D.” and “The Beginning,” with The Black Eyed Peas– with whom she has sold 31 million albums and 58 million singles worldwide.
