Fergie Talks Josh Duhamel infidelity Rumors to Oprah

By Hollywood standards, Fergie (former Black Eyed Peas member) and Josh Duhamel (``Las Vegas`` actor) have been together practically forever. By which we mean nine years. These two may look like the perfect couple but they've been through tough times. 

Cast your mind back to just nine months into their then-fledgling marriage, when the Black Eyed Pea and the actor were racked with tabloid tales of alleged indiscretions on Duhamel's part. Reps for the couple denied that he had an affair with an Atlanta stripper during a one-night stand.  And while today he's the very picture of a doting hubby, Fergie sat down with Oprah Winfrey and discussed just how troubled those early relationship waters were.

"It was difficult," Fergie tells Oprah Winfrey in an upcoming episode of OWN's Oprah's Next Chapter, airing Oct. 21. 

"When you go through difficult times it – it really makes you stronger as a unit, as a partnership. It does for us anyways. Our love today is a deeper love," Fergie continues. "Definitely we're strong today because of anything difficult that's happened with us. We deal with it. We communicate. Communicating is the most important thing." 

But it's not the only thing. Duhamel admitted to Oprah that he was initially attracted to Fergie because of "how sexy she was and the hotness." 

Still, he says, "We haven't been together for nine years because of that." 

Instead, Duhamel and Fergie – who hope to have kids one day – work as a couple because, he says, "we grew up in very similar ways, you know?" 

"My mother was a teacher. Both of her parents were teachers. We both had to work for what we got. We're both Catholic," he says. "There were a lot of things that were really compatible between us. But at the end of the day, she's just an amazing girl."

Katenga News team wishes this super sizzling couple the very best in their relationship.

Drake Graduates High School

It’s never too late to get your high school diploma (read K.C.S.E Certificate).

Drake has graduated from high school 10 years after dropping out. The 25-year-old Canadian rapper took to twitter to share his good news with his fans. He said:

“97% on my final exam. 88% in the course. One of the greatest feelings in my entire life. As of tonight I have graduated high school!

Thank you to my teacher Kim Janzen for spending the last 5 months working tirelessly with me!!”

The hitmaker dropped out of high school when he was just one credit short of graduating at the age of 15 to pursue a role on the Canadian teen drama series 'Degrassi: The Next Generation'.

The 'Take Care' rapper- who was once 

romantically linked to Rihanna - recently ended his feud with Chris Brown after the pair were involved in a brawl at a New York nightclub on June 14, which resulted in a number of people getting injured including professional basketball player Tony Parker.

A source close to Chris said: "That situation has already been handled and Chris [has] no beef with [Drake.] We don't think about [him.] Drake who? That club s**t was what it was and Chris left that baggage back where it happened."

All in all, it’s good to see that no matter how much money he’s making or how famous he is, Drake still takes his education seriously. Congrats from the Katenga News Team!

Beyonce To Perform At Next Year’s (2013) Superbowl

Well, it looks as though Beyonce is definitely not pregnant again.

After all of the middle finger-throwing that M.I.A. did during last year’s Superbowl performance, family-friendly Beyonce is rumored to have been chosen as the next Super Bowl half-time performer for 2013. Though an official announcement won’t drop until tomorrow, an inside source claims that Bey will be booty-poppin’ to her hits on February 3, 2013 at the Mercedes-Benz Super-dome in New Orleans. And we may can expect some friends like Jay-z, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland.

This news definitely debunks the pregnancy rumors that have been following her for a few weeks. There is no way that she’d have plans to hit the stage if she currently had a bun in the oven.

The upcoming performance will be Bey’s second Super Bowl appearance. In 2004, she performed the National Anthem  when the Superbowl was held in her hometown of Houston. (which was later overshadowed by Janet Jackson’s nipplegate). This Superbowl will also be monumental as it is the first NFL championship game in New Orleans since Hurricane Katrina came crashing through the city in 2005.

Take a look at B performing the National Anthem at the 2004 Super Bowl.

More power to Queen B!
