Her ex, Prince Andrew, is No. 2; lover-in-her-dreams-only John F. Kennedy Jr., No. 9. Then, Fergie stopped trying to block a book about her affair with toe-sucking John Bryan (No. 3). She couldn't face testifying in public. Fergie's next literary effort, two children's books, will be lucky to generate such press...
