Last night, Fergie was honored at Billboard’s 5th Annual Women In Music awards at The Pierre Hotel in New York City with Billboard’s Woman of the Year Award.

She was obviously very proud of this great milestone in her career,

“I am humbled and excited to accept the Billboard Woman of the Year Award,” Fergie says. “Being honored by Billboard is a great career achievement.”

I have great respect for Fergie as an artist and a woman.  She’s beyond fabulous on the music front.  But her girl power is ridiculous, in a very good way.

The bumps in the road she faced with her man meat of a husband, Josh Duhamel and the fact they are still looking at each other like that (below), well, she’s amazing.

What’s not so hot or amazing are her scary claws.  Those are the worst kind of faux nails and well, I despise them.  Other than that, Fergie is the woman!
