Fergie owns over 500 pairs of shoes.

The Black Eyed Peas star - who has just launched her own footwear collection called 'Fergie' - is so obsessed with buying new pairs of pumps, heels and sneakers, she has to keep building new storage space.

She said: "I'm a girl, and I love accessories. It's one of the reasons I have huge closets, and we keep making room in the house for more closets. I don't like to throw anything away."

The 34-year-old star may have to think about downscaling her footwear collection - she and husband Josh Duhamel, 36, are planning to try for a baby when she finishes touring.

She said: "I'm not going to get pregnant on the tour because I'm too physical onstage. So after that, we can talk about babies."

Fergie is not the only celebrity to boast a huge shoe collection.

Megan Fox claims her footwear habit is taking over her room.

She said: "I have upwards of, I would guess, 30 to 50 pairs of dress shoes. But they're all really amazing! I love Jimmy Choo, and Casadei, and Cavalli. I've got pairs and pairs of them in the wardrobe, all over the floor - they're all over the place!"

Kate Hudson recently admitted she is unable to stop herself from buying fancy footwear.

She said: "I'm a total shopaholic! I've tried to stop, but I love clothes and fashion way too much! I probably own more than 400 pairs of shoes. That's a lot, isn't it?"

Keira Knightley is another star unable to control herself when she is near a shoe shop.

She admitted: "If I see a pair of shoes that I adore and they haven't got them in my size, I still have to have them."
