In Paris with her Black Eyed Peas bandmates, Fergie found time to sneak away from promoting her new album, The E.N.D., for some solo shopping! The singer ventured to the Palais Royale, and was nearly unrecognized in her dark glasses and black top.

Fergie then hit the racks at Rick Owens, selecting two pieces before trekking back to her hotel.

Octomom Signs Reality TV Deal

suleman-blog_3

It’s official: Nadya Suleman and her brood of 14 are coming to a TV near you.

After weeks of meetings and negotiations, Suleman’s attorney Jeff Czech confirmed exclusively to Usmagazine.com that Suleman signed a deal Thursday night to star in her own reality series.

“[Nadya and the producers] are hoping to have an arrangement whereby several events in the children’s lives would be filmed in a documentary series,” Czech told Us.

“One of the events in the children’s lives might be their first birthday.”

Describing the as-yet untitled show as a “quasi-reality TV series”, Czech said that the production company, Eyeworks, was moving ahead to make a deal with a network.

“They might be several shows aired during a year. There are all kinds of possibilities. It really depends on what the networks want,” Czech said.

Czech declined to comment on how much Nadya would be getting paid for the deal, citing confidentiality.

“Her television program will not be like the Jon and Kate Plus 8 show,” said Czech. “[Nadya] is looking forward to providing her side of the story.”

Jay Leno Readies for Final Tonight Show

leno-b

After 17 years, Jay Leno will step down at host of NBC’s Tonight Show Friday.

“Will I miss it? Yes, terribly. It’s the most wonderful job ever in show business,” he tells The Associated Press.

Fans have been lining up outside the Burbank, Calif., studio since 6 p.m. Thursday, hoping to snag a seat to Leno’s last show, which will feature Conan O’Brien. (O’Brien will take over hosting duties Monday at a newly built studio at nearby Universal City, Calif.)

During Leno’s run (he was the second-longest-running Tonight host; Johnny Carson hosted for three decades), he had some unforgettable moments.

In May 1993 – to commemorate the series finale of NBC’s Cheers – Leno taped his show live from the Boston bar where the sitcom was filmed.

Two years later, in July 1995, Hugh Grant made his first on-air appearance since being arrested for hiring a prostitute. “What the hell were you thinking?” Leno asked the actor.

Former action star Arnold Schwarzenegger — one of Leno’s guests this past week — announced he was running for the California governorship in August 2003.

Another memorable time: In March 2005, Leno was called as a witness in Michael Jackson’s child molestation trial. So he hired group of comedians to tell the jokes for him.

Just this past March, Barack Obama also visited Leno — the first time that a sitting U.S. president has appeared on a late night talk show. (Obama stirred up controversy after joking that his bowling score was so poor that he could have been a competitor in the Special Olympics. He later apologized.)

Leno’s last week as host had its share of highlights as well.

On Monday, Mel Gibson announced that he and his girlfriend, Oksana Grigorieva, are expecting a baby.

Billy Crystal — Leno’s first Tonight guest 17 years ago — also returned to bid farewell on Thursday’s show. He performed a musical medley similar to his Oscar ceremony opening numbers.

“Mustangs and Mazdas and shiny Mercedes, Model T Fords that he steals from old ladies,” Crystal sang to the tune of “My Favorite Things.”

Leno fans don’t have to shed too many tears after his Tonight Show departure.

He will host a five-nights-a-week show at 10 p.m. this fall on NBC.

“It’ll be really tricky,” Leno told the AP. “But we’ll just do the best we can.”
