St Louis Massage Parlors: Duchess of the right royal mess
That’s why WeightWatchers took her on as a $2 million-a-year “ambassador” ($2 million! – at today’s rates that would be €1.6 million). For a while it went slimmingly, with Fergie reducing her hips and bulging her bank balance, until her hips started to bulge again as well.
She found work as an inspirational speaker, charging €65,000 per appearance for her wisdom on issues such as self-esteem (of which she appears to have either too little or too much) and overcoming adversity.

Another of her topics is “the road to an authentic life”, a concept that jars with being caught begging in a fake sheikh’s apartment.
