fergieSinger FERGIE has become the latest celebrity to admit to a being bisexual and having a past with women. The BLACK EYED PEAS singer follows celebrities LINDSAY LOHAN, LADY GAGA and MEGAN FOX in revealing that she is bisexual.

Fergie, who married JOSH DUHAMEL in January, told The UK’s Sun: “Put it this way, I’ve experimented definitely, but I have never had a steady girlfriend.” The 34-year-old star said of a recent music video, “You’ll like our next video, for I Got A Feeling, because I have a little girl-on-girl tease section of the video. I met the girls right before we did the scene. They were beautiful. They were hot. One of them was the director’s girlfriend — so he was happy!”

Actress Lindsay, 22, recently split from lesbian lover SAMANTHA RONSON, while singer GaGa, 23, answers questions over whether she is bisexual with a simple “Sure”. Film star Megan, 23, admits to sleeping with women — including a stripper — but says she’s turned off by other girls who also like men. The Transformers beauty, said last week: “I have no question in my mind about being bisexual. But I’m also a hypocrite. I would never date a girl who was bisexual, because that means they also sleep with men, and men are so dirty that I’d never want to sleep with a girl who had slept with a man.”

 

Cynthia Nixon & Christine Marinoni

Sex and The City star Cynthia Nixon has confirmed she became engaged in April to longtime partner Christine Marinoni.

Nixon spoke at the Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally, a pro-gay marriage gathering, in NYC yesterday, and told the crowd — which included her Sex co-star Kristen Davis, David Hyde Pierce, Audra McDonald and Ana Oritz — of her engagement, while showing off a glimmering diamond ring. Nixon, a mother-of-two, left her then-fiancée Danny Mozes six years ago, and has been involved with Marinoni ever since.

The meet is one of several leading to the 2012 Olympics in London, England and the competition is Phelps’ first meet since the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, where he won a record eight gold medals. His return to the pool follows a three-month suspension from swimming after the famous Bongate photo surfaced in February showing him smoking a bong at a college party. Speaking to reporters, Phelps reiterated what he said was his “bad judgment” and a “very stupid mistake.” He had admitted “regrettable behavior” before, just after the UK’s News of the World released the scandalous photos of him at a November party at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. “The biggest thing that killed me were my turns and my finishes,” said Phelps, who holds the American record in the 100 free at 47.51. “I’m not disappointed with that time, but the finish was awful. There’s small things I need to work on. But overall, it was a good meet.”

On April 30, Zohn was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin’s disease. Doctors discovered a swollen lymph node under his left clavicle, and a CT scan revealed a mass on the left side of his chest. Then, just last week, Zohn learned he is suffering from a rare form the disease called CD20-positive Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, for which he began chemotherapy last Friday. “This is the ultimate game of Survivor,” Zohn, 35, told PEOPLE magazine, “and there’s really only one outcome, and that’s to win. There’s no other option.” Chemotherapy is expected to put the soccer player out of commission for a few months and he’s expected to lose his famous mop of curly hair within weeks. My hair is my identity,” he admits. To beat the process he’s decided to shave his head in the next few days and “get a mohawk or something fun that I’ve always wanted to do.”

Zohn’s longtime girlfriend, Survivor: The Amazon winner Jenna Morasca, 27, will be by his side throughout the process. Both Zohn and Morasca lost parents to cancer. Zohn’s father died of colon cancer when Ethan was 14. Morasca’s mother died in 2003, after a 12-year battle with breast cancer. “Our only point of reference with this situation is death,” said Morasca. Zohn, who has worked to raise money and awareness for AIDS relief in Africa through his Grassroot Soccer charity ever since winning Survivor’s $1-million prize in 2002, had his first chemo treatment in Manhattan last Friday. ethan
