| | Fergie, Duchess of Talk - Jun 13, 2002 - E! Online News (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | But "me" sells big here in America, where the common-born Fergie has become popular for the candor and verve she has displayed in public and on television when pushing the Weight Watchers credo or seeking funds for her Chances for Children charity foundation. |
 | | Ferguson is a fan of the heart-to-heart style of chat personified by Oprah Winfrey and the recently retired Rosie O'Donnell, but has also looked for inspiration to another softballer, Larry King, and has occasionally appeared as substitute host on his CNN show. |
 | | Pushing Fergie's image as someone just like us, Steve Rosenberg, Universal Television Enterprises president, described the duchess as "the person next door" and expressed the belief that her "inspirational stories of survival" would have broad appeal to viewers. |
