Showbiz Tonight's AJ Hammer and Brooke Anderson reveal the ways some of Hollywood's most notorious woman are becoming good girls.

Hello, there, I’m Watt¹ Anderson and welcome to the showbiz tonight’s potcast. Now this is where we go inside Hollywood figure story. Right now bad girl gone good. Paris could learn a lesson or two from her frenemy Nichole Richey. She recently told People Magazine that motherhood has changed her life for the better saying,” Now that I look back on it, I was a different person last year than I’m now.” And listen sometimes I will be here and I'll think to myself I used to be fun, What if I’m not fun anymore? I have all those feelings but you know what, I am who I am and I’m still fun, just not in that way. Well, it's good to see this bad girl turned good. And She is not the only one. Think about all the bad girls out there in Hollywood who turned their life around for the good. I’m talking Madonna,Angelina Jolie,Mary J. Blige, Fergie. So how bad did they get before they turned it around and how did they do it? Showbiz tonight’s AJ Hammer investigate bad girls gone good.

They wrote a book on being naughty, sexy, talented women who pushed the limits of being bad in their youth, but matured into some of the most respected women in Hollywood. Marie J blige had one of the most extraordinary and public transformations³ from bad girl to good. “That’s a celebration of the growth that I've made the growth that all my fans and all of us who have you know have made together.” She’s the Grammy Award-winning, reigning⁴ queen of hip-hop and soul. But this diva battled a hard-core addiction⁵ to drug and alcohol . “She’s talked with me once about it .She would just like guzzle⁶ gin as soon as she came off stage, you know, she was smoking weed um, we, she’s doing coke…” Her transformation² came when she met her current husband Kendu Isaacs. She tells Showbiz tonight he saved her life. “My husband definitely came into my life and help me out, you know, save me.” Even better, Blige turned her heartache into another reason she's so beloved. “She, you know, sort of like worked all this into her art, the sort of. The turning point song for her was really a moving ballad⁷ called No More Drama.” (Music) “Here’s J's spiritual journey in her life is reflected in her music and I think the audience responds to that as much as they responds to her voice.”

Another of showbiz tonight’s favorite bad girls gone good. (Music) Fergie, who battled a serious Crystal Meth addiction before she made it big in Black Eyed Pea. “Well, the funny thing with Fergie is a little different, because most of her bad girls stuff was before she was really in the public eye. I mean she was a child star,er,I mean, stars overstated” Yeah,that might be overstating it. Fergie was a regular on that old 80’s kids show “kids-incorporated”. It was later when she was in her first real girl group Wild Orchids⁸ that things got interesting. “She started you know like taking a lot of ecstasy⁹. She was going out to the clubs all the time and she got seriously addicted¹⁰ to Crystal Meth” She says kicking the habit was the hardest boyfriend she ever had to break up with. “She’s been through some hard times. But you know she’s perhaps had the sort of wild, raunchy past. But, you know, she is like a little more in control now.”
