Fergie: Baby Could Happen in 2012

Now that Black Eyed Peas are on hiatus, singer Fergie can look forward to stretches of nine or more months without having to don futuristic skintight catsuits and rock arenas around the world. That means the pop star is free to procreate, and as she recently revealed, she's not against the idea.

Chatting on New Year's Eve with People, the singer hinted that she and husband Josh Duhamel might start a family in 2012.

"Maybe, who knows?" she said. "We'll see."

Of course, there are other ways the 36-year-old might pass the time, and based on what she told People, it seems there's a whole lot of ESPN in her future.

"I want to spend time with my husband, watch football, watch basketball," she said. "I'm going where the day takes me -- having days where I have no schedule. That's going to be nice and refreshing for me ... a definite change."

Back in November, Fergie sparked pregnancy rumors when she showed up at a New York City awards gala wearing an uncharacteristically baggy dress and blazer. She provoked no such whispers on New Year's Eve, however, as she squeezed into a decidedly non-frumpy dress and took the stage at the Mirage's 1Oak in Las Vegas, where she hosted a party and rapped along to beats supplied by DJ Kanye West.
