For pop star Fergie, life is good. A platinum album, movie deals, and a makeup contract. But there was a time when she could hardly leave the house, let alone imagine being a celebrity.

In a revealing interview with Allure, Fergie talks about overcoming her addiction to crystal meth:

"I had chemically induced paranoid schizophrenia," she says. "At one point I gave myself an ultimatum, because I was absolutely sure the FBI and a SWAT team were coming for me. I said, 'OK, if you walk through that door and they're not out there, then it's the drugs.'"
