She then proceeded to sing a song on stage, as Armie stood there awkwardly.
On Sunday, Fergie attended TrevorLIVE LA, a fundraising gala by The Trevor Project, an organization that provides crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to LGBT youth.

Fashion designer and film director Tom Ford was one of the honorees of the night along with actor and singer Kristin Chenoweth, but attention has turned to Fergie’s odd behavior after she interrupted Armie Hammer, who was on stage to make some remarks about Ford.
(The clip above was posted to a Black Eyed Peas fan site but has been edited and does not show the moment in its entirety.)
The incident began when Fergie approached the podium and tapped Hammer on the shoulder, giving an indication that she wanted to speak. “I’m actually Armie Hammer, thank you,” she said.
The singer then proceeded to crack a few joke about Hammer, saying, “I’m going to win at the Academy Awards, thanks.”
She was soon interrupted when someone in the audience shouted out to Hammer, to which Fergie replied, “They love you, they really do, they really love you,” presumably a reference to Sally Fields’ iconic Oscar speech.

After a rough start, the singer then began to talk about Ford, but she soon changed the subject and started promoting a single from her new album — and then she broke out into song.

Her performance only came to an end when the singer finished her song and exited the stage, again by introducing Hammer as “Fergie.”
