Stacy Ferguson aka Fergie says she can relate to what Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan are going through.


Fergie said at a Conde Nast Fashion Rocks event in New York:

They're young,

I was young when I went through my stuff. Leave them alone. If they want to get better, they're going to get better on their own.

Britney Spears, who has returned to Los Angeles after a disappointing comeback performance Sunday at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas, she spent a month in rehab earlier this year.


Lindsay Lohan, is in her third rehab program, following her DUI arrest last month, for which she was sentenced to a day in jail. In a statement, Lindsay Lohan said she was addicted to alcohol and drugs.


Fergie, who spent time in rehab was for a crystal meth addiction, says that Britney Spears and Lindsay Lohan should ignore the media attention and focus on their problems.


Fergie added:

If somebody is going to change, they have to want to do it themselves

,

I think it is really unfair to them when they are trying to get help. We're all watching as a nation and commenting day by day on their rehabilitation. It's not fair. You're supposed to have a sanctuary, a place where you can go and not be pressured every day.

Fergie, is currently dating actor Josh Duhamel and is a singer from the group, The Black Eyed Peas.

Here are some pictures of Britney Spears performing at the 2007 Video Music Awards.


Britney Spears opened up the VMA's at the Palms in Las Vegas with her new single 'Gimme More'

















Britney Spears wore a black sparkly bra and matching shorts.





























Britney Spears, who lip-synced the song of Gimme More, gave a very bad performance, she hardly danced and then at one point stopped moving her lips altogether.


This is the fourth time Britney Spears has performed at the Video Music Awards. This last performance was nothing compared to the other three.
In 2000 she stripped down to a flesh-colored body suit, in 2001 she danced with a python and in 2003 she sang with Madonna, who she also kissed, Christina Aguilera and Missy Elliott.

Britney Spears will perform the opening number at the MTV Video Music Awards in Las Vegas this Sunday. Britney Spears is set to sing "Gimme More," the first single from her forthcoming album.

The VMA executive producer Jesse Ignjatovic told MTV.com.:

I wanted to start the show in a very big and dramatic way, and she's the one to do that,

She'll captivate everyone, and set the tone for rest of the night.

Jesse Ignjatovic also said that Britney Spears collaborated with illusionist Criss Angel on "some moments of the performance" for Sunday night's show at the Palms Hotel and Casino.


Jesse Ignjatovic added:

You can expect the things we want and expect from Britney – that will all be there," he says. "What I've see of it is great. She'll be dancing, performing, dong her thing. That's exactly what we all want.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, who married in September 2004 before Britney filed for divorce last November, agreed the deal during a five-hour meeting in Los Angeles yesterday.


Kevin Federline is said to be receiving a $1 million payment, with the couple sharing custody of their two sons, 18-month-old Sean Preston and Jayden James, six months.


A spokesman for Kevin Federlins's attorney said:

The parties signed a global agreement on all issues of their marriage and custody of their children.

He refused to elaborate on the terms of the settlement, but revealed they had reached an agreement on financial matters.


A judge must approve the agreement before the divorce is finalised.


The meeting took place in Britney Spears's attorney Laura Wasser's office in California's Century City.

Kevin Federline visited his estranged wife, Britney Spears, in rehab on Friday.

He cares a lot about her
