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."
