Fergie took off from Los Angeles last night wearing skin-tight leather pants and toting her bright red Birkin bag. Topping it off with a silver brocade blazer, the fashionista flashed a smile as she boarded a plane to New York.
But leather pants and a bright red Birkin might as well be a button down and khakis for this risk-taker -- on Saturday night, Fergie performed at
Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards wearing a dress made completely out of Legos.
Many were shocked by the form-fitting piece, calling it inappropriate for a kids' show.

Like many expectant parents, Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have posed for portraits to commemorate this special time in their life. However, Nick thinks they may have gone too far, posing completely nude for a series of "nasty" pix!
On his radio show this morning,
Rollin' with Nick Cannon, the soon-to-be dad was expressing some regret about the pix, which adorn the walls of the couple's home.
"My children are going to have to see these pictures," Cannon said. "It's a little nasty. I mean, have you ever seen your parents naked?"
Nick went on to say of his twins, "When they get older and their friends come over they will see the pictures and say, 'Your daddy's butt naked.' I don't want my naked booty out there for everyone to see!"
Shoulda thought of that before you posed for the pix!
Mariah isn't nearly as modest, though. The 42-year-old, whose first babies are due later this month, recently
tweeted a pic of her belly painted with a butterfly.

Charlie Sheen is more in-demand than ever!
The former
Two and a Half Men star has reportedly been offered to appear on the UK's
Celebrity Big Brother when it returns this summer.
“We’ve got our wish list of celebrities that we want and we’re going to do everything we can to persuade them to enter the house," a network source told
The Daily Star.
“We want people like Charlie Sheen and Peaches Geldof, who we’re confident would be TV gold inside the house," the insider added. Understatement of the year.
Although we have no doubt that Charlie Sheen would be intrigued by an offer to be filmed 24/7 spewing his soon-to-be
trademarked catchphrases, with his My Violent Torpedo of Truth/Death is Not an Option tour, taking the country by storm, it seems like he might be a tad bit busy.
Speaking of the tour...

Angelina Jolie sported a new tattoo today in
Tunisia, an added line to the coordinates of her six children's birthplace, sparking rumors that she and Brad Pitt have adopted another baby!
The only number that can be made out is 35 degrees north, which some reports speculated meant she and Pitt had adopted a baby in Algeria.
But that particular coordinate also applies to Tunisia (where Angelina sparked a
near riot when visiting a refugee camp), Greece, Afghanistan, Japan and ... Oklahoma -- birthplace of Brad Pitt!
A source tells
In Touch that the tattoo, which "signifies family" is indeed the coordinates of Papa Pitt's birthplace in the states. “She got the seventh line right around the time she and Brad moved the kids back to LA," says the source. A tattoo is pretty serious (although not permanent, since she had a "Billy Bob" tatt removed in the same location.) Does this mean Angie and Brad are finally ready to tie the knot?
