Gwen Stefani’s had it up to here – and in her next video, she’s going to show just how upset she can get. Since “4 in the Morning” is one of the rare glimpses into the singer’s inner life on her latest LP, The Sweet Escape, the video, which was shot Friday in Los Angeles, won’t feature a lot of bells and whistles – it’s just Stefani raw. “I just really want to focus on the lyrics,” Stefani told MTV News late last month, “and not so much on the styling or anything. It’s just really more about the emotion… Read more »

Gwen Stefani says she can’t wait to reform with her No Doubt bandmates, and hopes to have an album out by summer 2008. The pop singer has spent recent months promoting her second solo set “The Sweet Escape”, and heads out on tour over the summer before giving birth to her second child.

Gwen Stefani has revealed she and rocker husband Gavin Rossdale are planning their second child together. The No Doubt star, who released her second solo album “The Sweet Escape” in December last year, reveals she’ll be taking baby Kinston, the couple’s first child, with her on the road during live dates in 2007 – but probably couldn’t handle being pregnant again away from home. “That was really crazy… I was in rehearsals and I’m like, ‘What is wrong with me? I am such a jerk right now,’” she says, “and then all of a sudden I found out I was… Read more »
Gwen Stefani has a pair of complaints about her last solo tour: One, she didn’t feel she had as much material to showcase as she did with No Doubt; and two, she was pregnant. “I was about four and a half months pregnant, which was totally not a good idea,” Stefani said. “I highly recommend not getting pregnant and going on tour! So if you’re thinking about going on tour, do not get pregnant” . With no impending morning sickness or mood swings, the singer can’t wait to start her 40-city Sweet Escape tour “It’s so much fun to create… Read more »
Gwen Stefani – still glowing from “The Aviator” ‘s Oscar wins – is turning her attention away from movie cameos and back to promoting her solo album, Love, Angel, Music, Baby. She’s just shot a video for the next single, the B-girlish anthem “Hollaback Girl,” which she calls her “attitude song.” Like most of the songs on her solo debut, this was a collaboration – but one borne out of a bit of jealousy instead of pure camaraderie. When Stefani originally booked time with Pharrell Williams, it was at the end of the project, when she figured her sessions were… Read more »
Gwen Stefani’s getting a little help from a lot of friends on her upcoming solo record, but so far, her favorite pairing comes from one of her oldest friends of all – No Doubt bandmate Tony Kanal. Stefani’s not lacking for people to work with – if anything, she’s got enough names for several solo albums to span several different genres, with the Neptunes, Mary J. Blige, Missy Elliott, Outkast, the Matrix, Linda Perry, Tim Armstrong, Nellee Hooper, the Eurythmics’ Dave Stewart, Dallas Austin and Damon Elliott all among her known collaborators. The hodgepodge of songwriters and producers, though, was… Read more »
