UPDATE: Josh Duhamel's rep continues to adamantly deny claims of an affair, telling E! News, "These allegations are nonsense."

________

Josh Duhamel seemingly put a stop to this, but it appears that Nicole Forrester is just getting started.

"We did hook up, we had lots of sex, and we had a really, really good time," the stripper and mother of two said in an exclusive interview with The Bert Show on Atlanta's Q100-FM.

"And then the next morning, when I left, you know, he kissed me on the cheek. Really sweet guy."

And a really married guy, too, of course.

Duhamel's rep has vehemently denied Forrester's story about having a one-night stand with the Transformers hottie. Mrs. Duhamel, aka Fergie, was with her hubby last night in Atlanta, where he's filming Life As We Know It.

But Forrester says she has saved text messages and "a lot of evidence" that she had a tryst with the actor.

UPDATE: Sure enough, the complications that arose from having Limbaugh onboard have prompted the group of investors he was associated with to drop him.

"It has become clear that his involvement in our group has become a complication and a distraction to our intentions, endangering our bid to keep the team in St. Louis," St. Louis Blues chairman Dave Checketts said in a statement. "As such, we have decided to move forward without him and hope it will eventually lead us to a successful conclusion."

Divisive-comment monitor the Rev. Al Sharpton called the decision a "moral victory for all Americans."

"This decision will also uphold the unifying standards of major sports," he said.

During his radio show earlier today, Limbaugh said that his naysayers were part of the "ongoing effort...to destroy conservatism."

As far as the NFL is concerned, singing and dancing around in your delicates makes you much more qualified to own a football team than waxing blowhard ever will.

Sorry (but not that sorry), Rush Limbaugh.

Are there no new ideas in Hollywood anymore? Not if you're a potential plaintiff with an itchy trigger finger.

And that finger is now pointed at Fergie.

Like those British blokes before her, the Black Eyed Pea has been sued for allegedly stealing a song. This time Grounded Music claims Fergie's "Voodoo Doll" blatantly rips off a nearly decade-old reggae song no one's heard of (or at least didn't know they'd heard of until now), "Waterfall" by Groundation.

The latter song was recorded in 2000, six years prior to Fergie's tune. The lawsuit, which was filed Thursday and which also ropes in EMI and producer Will.i.am, alleges that Fergie's track "is substantially and strikingly similar" to the earlier ditty.

"Groundation's interest has solely been, and will continue to be, to create and promulgate conscious, positive music," the group said. "Groundation seeks a swift and just resolution to this issue and we wish the best for all parties involved."

Grounded Music, which holds the copyright to Groundation's song, is seeking unspecified damages and is requesting a trial by jury.

We gotta feeling tonight's gonna be a real good night for the Black Eyed Peas.

Thanks to two hit singles (and maybe, just maybe, the inability of a certain blogger's opinion to hold sway with music fans), the Peas have blown up the record books over at Billboard HQ, having held on to the top spot on the singles charts for an unprecedented 20 weeks.

For those keeping score at home, weeks 1-12 were dominated by "Boom Boom Pow," while "I Gotta Feeling" was the chart topper for weeks 13-20.

And, quite possibly, beyond, if the competition from this week's album charts are any indication (apparently, Neil Diamond fans really are forever).

An appropriately humbled Will.i.am waxed on about hearts and egos in response to the big news, while Fergie…well, Fergie managed not to do this again, for which we should all be grateful.

So the Black Eyed Peas just completed the longest successive stay on top of the Hot 100—something Elvis, Michael or The Beatles couldn't manage. We have to ask, are the Peas the greatest ever?

Did the Black Eyed Peas go boom-boom-pow on Perez Hilton?

Here's what we know for sure, per a spokesman for the Toronto police. There was an "altercation" around 3 a.m. local time at a downtown club, following the MuchMusic Awards (Hilton accompanied Lady Gaga; the Peas performed "Boom Boom Pow" and won the prize for Best International Group). Peas associate Polo Molina, 36, was arrested on a single count of assault and ordered to appear in court on Aug. 5. Police declined to ID the victim, but said he only suffered "minor injuries."

That's the official account right now. Hilton and Peas mastermind will.i.am have since posted dueling videos online to make their respective cases.

For the Black Eyed Peas, The E.N.D. starts on top.

The group's upcoming new album got off to an early start today when its lead single, "Boom Boom Pow," gave the Peas the first Hot 100 chart-topper of their career. Per Billboard.com, the song will rocket 38 spots to debut in first place on tomorrow's chart, thanks to a major assist from digital sales.

In fact, selling nearly 465,000 downloads for the week, "Boom Boom Pow" gives the Peas the biggest digital week ever for a group.

Coldplay previously held the high mark after "Viva La Vida" moved 253,000 units last summer. Flo Rida, however, remains the all-around champ with a 636,000-strong download week in February.

While this is the first No. 1 single for will.i.am & Co., Fergie landed three No. 1 hits with her 2006 solo bow, The Dutchess.

The E.N.D., which drops June 9, is the group's first studio album since she found solo success.

• Fergie has new hair, which isn't nearly as exciting as Katie Holmes' extensions. And speaking of Katie, new pictures today reveal she was wearing stirrup leggings with her extensions the other night. Yes, this is very serious news.

• Ricky Gervais and Elmo make an amazing comedy duo.

• Keira Knightley is the Michael Cera of the Pirates movies. "It was a completely fantastic experience...but I don't think I need to go there again. I think that it's done. But I'm very excited to see the next one," she says when asked if she would return.

• We still don't get why Reebok chose Leighton Meester to be the face of their new campaign and this ad isn't helping. Nice boombox though.

• Paris continues to give Heidi Montag a run for her money by posing with a macaw in Hawaii.

• True this.
