Fergie "in Shock" Over AMA Win

If Fergie looked beside herself when she accepted the

American Music Award for Favorite Female Artist Sunday night, it’s because she

was. Or as she puts it — “having a nervous breakdown.”

“I was completely in shock because you know I’ve been in

this business for a long time,” Fergie says backstage. “I was a little girl

with big dreams and tonight one of those big dreams came true. So the moment it

actually happens to you, you can’t plan how you’re going to feel. You can’t

plan if you’re going to cry or if you’re going to be nervous, if you’re going

to blank out.

The 32-year-old did blank out on a few names (or “1,000 people”) in her speech,

but may just reserve those personal “thank you’s” for the holidays, which she’s

planning on spending at home in L.A.

"It’s so good to be home right now,” she says. I’m always

touring. I’m always in some crazy country where I can’t always understand

everybody. It’s Thanksgiving time. I’m home. I just won. It’s a nice time for

me.”

And her family and significant other, Josh Duhamel. So how

are the two planning on celebrating Turkey day?

"Thanksgiving we’re having at our house. We’re having Chef

Felix come and cook because I can’t cook," she reveals. "Come on. We’re going to have a great

time."
