Gwen Stefani broke down in tears after botching New Year's performance

No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani spent the first minutes of the new millennium crying in a closet after botching her New Year's Eve performance in Times Square. The Don't Speak hitmakers performed for millions of people high above the crowd in the heart of New York City in 1999 to usher in the year 2000, and as the clock struck midnight, the group sang a rendition of R.E.M.'s It's the End of the World As We Know It. However, Stefani admits the combination of her dental braces and the wordy song choice resulted in a disaster. She tells Marie Claire magazine, "We picked the hardest song in the world to sing. My lips were getting caught (in my braces). And I couldn't do it, and then I was, like, so embarrassed." Stefani broke down in tears and locked herself in a closet immediately after leaving the stage, and it was left to her then-boyfriend Gavin Rossdale to coax her out of the tight space. She adds, "He was like, 'Don't worry, nobody was wat...

The No Doubt singer was impressed by Little Mix last time she visited the UK Leather lass: Gwen Stefani hits the town FameFlynet.uk.com There's No Doubt Gwen Stefani home life stops her getting too big for her stilettos. The band is back after an 11-year hiatus with a stonking new album, Push and Shove... but that doesnt impress the iconic red-lipped frontladys son Kingston, six. Ive been a fan of No Doubt since ye olde days so was chuffed when Gwen, 42, pictured below on a night out this week, where she was joined by stepdaughter Daisy Lowe, 23, joined me for an exclusive chat. Relaxing on a couch in a posh London hotel with bandmate Tony Kanal, Gwen said: I came home with a CD and gave it to Kingston and he was like, Oh my gosh and was looking at it. On the way to school he wanted to listen to it but then was mad he hadnt watched TV instead. When he got to school he was like, I made a mistake, I should have watched TV. I made the wrong choice. That definitely keeps me grounded! ...

Gwen Stefani is on the cover ofthe September 2012 issue of Harpers Bazaar magazine. Below are some of thehighlightsfrom the interview: On motherhood: Its, like, the real deal, dude. Its superfun being a mom, but its hard too. Finding that balance between work and family is the hardest thing Ive ever doneby far. On dealing with tabloids: That someone would say something untrue or bad about me doesnt bother me. Its like water off a ducks back. None of that stuff matters. Theres something in me, being this passive person, that those kinds of things dont upset me. I know they can say anything; they can just make something up. But what are you going to do? Its not part of my reality, so its okay. On her obsession with makeup: Ive always been a girl who loves to dress up. I already put my makeup on twice today: I put it on to take my kid to school, and then I went home, washed my face, and put it on again to have lunch with you. I like to make my husband like me more, and he likes it when I...

Friday Flashback: Gwen Stefanis Pink Cornrows

Awkward family photos Gwen Stefani is Daisy Lowe's stepmother? Yeah we forgot that too

Image
This wasn't a remotely awkward night out for either of them. Nope. Not remotely awkward at all. Even if they were wearing the same clothes It's like Cinderella, just with less of the singing mice Splash To be fair, if we found out that Gwen Stefani was our stepmother, we'd probably do some kind of air punch and then demand to raid her wardrobe. Or just ask her to sing about bananas to us while she tucks us in at night. But despite discovering that Gwen's husband Gavin Rossdale was her dad eight years ago, Daisy Lowe has stayed pretty quiet about the whole affair. Probably because she was too busy rummaging through all the No Doubt singer's old band t-shirts. Or you k'now, just keeping her private life private or something ridiculous like that. So it was weird nice to see the pair out for dinner together at London's exclusive Chinese restaurant Hakassan last night. And it was even weirder nicer to see that they appeared to have coordinated their outfits ov...

Wednesday night, Gwen Stefani took London by storm with a metallic optical illusion dress . The "No Doubt" singer and her bandmates were in London promoting their first album since 2001. The optical illusion effect was striking but not overpowering. She balanced out the dress with solid black sleeves, tight-fitting black tights, black heels, and a box clutch. The black and metallic color scheme complimented her complexion while providing a nice contrast to her blond hair. The entire ensemble was both edgy and elegant, and flattered her figure. Gwen is not the only one to make a metallic statement. Who else is rocking the metallic dresses? Lea Michele The "Glee" beauty seems to be doing fine without Sarah Jessica Parker's "couture vault."

Gwen Stefani (Splash News) Gwen Stefani looked hot from any angle as she stepped out in a metallic optical illusion dress in London on Wednesday night. The No Doubt rocker, who turns 43 on October 1, paired her chic mini dress with footless tights, black heels, and a box clutch. The "I'm Just a Girl" singer and her bandmates are across the pond to promote their first album since 2001, Push and Shove , which was released this week. A lot of things have changed in the last 11 years, and Stefani's personal life is no exception. She and Gavin Rossdale now have two sons, 6-year-old Kingston and 4-year-old Zuma, so recording new tunes meant that Stefani had to be creative with her schedule. "I would be up all night because my second baby [Zuma] didn't sleep, and he had a lot of ear infections," Stefani reveals in the latest issue of Marie Claire magazine . "Then I'd wake up in the morning and do my workout, which I always felt I had to do, and then m...

Gwen Stefani Stuns In Metallic Shift Dress And Tries To Start 'Footless Tights' Trend

Image
WENN She was one of the biggest trend setters of the 90s with her baggy trousers, crop tops and peroxide blonde locks, and it looks as though Gwen Stefani is trying to push her status as fashion icon yet again as she's been spotted working a particular look twice in one week. The 43-year-old No Doubt frontgirl has been chilling in London as her new album, Push and Shove , dropped this week in a bid to reclaim the band's pop crown since the 90s, and seeing as the dreaded decade is back on trend thanks to designers such as JW Anderson and Henry Holland, Gwen and co. saw an opportunity. But Gwen seems to have said a goodbye to her iconic stage wear of her younger days and is dabbling in more sophisticated looks, which she so happens to think involve footless tights. The yummy mummy has been spotted twice in one week wearing the same, slightly bizarre footless tights with oversized mini dresses, which do a good job of showcasing her incredibly toned legs, but look a bit strange nev...

Gwen Stefani's son Zuma 'showing interest in playing guitar'

Gwen Stefani has suggested that her 4-year-old son Zuma wants to get into music. The No Doubt frontwoman said that Zuma has been trying to play the guitar since he was young and likes to pretend that he can play it with his mother's band. PA Images / Francois Mori/AP Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show , she said: "Zuma's the one that's showing more interest in the guitar. Since he was tiny, he's always played guitar - well, he doesn't really play guitar, but he thinks he does." Stefani, who is married to Bush rocker Gavin Rossdale, admitted that having children is one of the reasons why she and her bandmates - Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont and Adrian Young - had not recorded a new album in more than 10 years. She said that creating new LP Push and Shove was a challenge. "We'd get together three times a week and I tried all versions, like, 'Oh, today I'm gonna bring him with me', and that didn't work," Stefani explained. "So...

(Bauer Griffin) There are adorable children to blame for the prolonged delay on No Doubt's latest album Push and Shove , as the band members are all now parents.In an interview on The Ellen DeGeneres show this week, Gwen Stefani admitted that it wasn't easy scheduling studio time. "It was challenging we'd get together like three times a week, and I tried all versions like, 'Oh, today I'm gonna bring him with me,' and that didn't work. So then I was like 'Today I'm not gonna see him, I'm gonna work all day, and then I'll be with him tomorrow.' It was just chaos, so that's one of the reasons it took as long as it did." Gwen still brings her kids along to some of her engagements... with hilarious results. Her younger son, Zuma, joined the band during their soundcheck before the show, rocking out on his own little black guitar.

Star Spotting: Gwen Stefani Is A Human Chessboard (PHOTO)

Wanna play chess on Gwen Stefani's coat? You can! We love multitasking, and we really love Gwen Stefani ! Put those two things together and you've basically created our dream human. But what does the No Doubt frontwomanhave to do with multitasking, you ask? Well, we could start by remindingyou that she's a mother , a pop-star , and a clothing designer , but she's got a few other tricks up her sleeve courtesy of some amazing outerwear! The " Easy " singer was snapped arriving in London yesterday, and guess what? Her black and white checkered coat could also double as an impromptu chessboard. Multitasking! Aside from her coat being a bold fashion statement, we're also kinda like, "what if Gwen was jet-setting with her family and her flight got delayed?" All she has to do is lay her coat flat on the ground and shazam! A chessboard awaits. You could also maybe play tic tac toe, but writing on a (presumably) expensive jacket might not be Gwen's i...

Gwen Stefani admits No Doubt hiatus is partly 'her fault'

No Doubt fans were devastated when the band went their solo ways and hadnt produced an album since 2001. Now, with a new album on the shelves, Gwen Stefani admits that the halt in No Doubt's progress is mainly her fault. According to Zap2it , Stefani expressed in an interview with Guardian that life got in the way of the group coming back together as musicians. It's hard to schedule itWe're actually ahead of schedule -- lots of babies made, lots of stuff that we've done ... I think it was mainly my fault! she confessed. Continuing she adds, It just feels so much more natural being back in this mode. The solo records allowed me to indulge my girly side but it was never meant to be taken seriously," she says. "It was just like an art project that kept going longer than I expected. The group never ended -- we always knew we'd come back to make this album." Prior to their new album, Push and Shove , the band put out Rock Steady in 2001, Billboard repor...

Gwen Stefani Weight Loss 2012 Gwen Stefani Diet Program

Gwen Stefani Weight Loss 2012 Gwen Stefani Diet Program - Isn't amazing how all of the celebrities you see have a celebrity diet plan for weight loss to maintain their weight. Some of them are shapely and healthy looking, and look good on camera. Others look like they haven't eaten in weeks, like they just got back from the famine in Ethiopia for a few weeks. Like they had been starving themselves to lose weight, and that is probably what they have been doing. You see it in all the tabloids, this person lost 100 pounds again, this one gained 100 pounds, and then lost 150 pounds. Some are not as dramatic; this one lost 40 pounds and is a television spokesperson, because the previous celebrity diet spokesperson gained the weight back. The fact is they may be starving themselves to lose weight, fasting like they are going through a famine.

ELLE introduced Gwen to the brand now she's wearing it in Vegas At the Gwen Stefani cover shoot for our October issue (on sale now! Get it while you can!) ELLE's fashion editor Natalie Wansbrough-Jones introduced the star to the London-based digi-print designers Peter Pilotto. No wonder these pictures of Gwen at the 2012 iHeart Radio Music Festival in Las Vegas looked a bit familiar when they landed in the office. Natalie told us; it was really exciting to style Gwen as she can take a really strong fashion direction and has the confidence to wear very directional print. Peter Pilotto, famous for digital printing, was therefore an obvious choice for the cover. Gwen, known for her adventurous fashion sense, was thrilled with her outfits, saying at the time, I love all the clashing prints, I loved the clothes. They were amazing.

It's also been creeping back into rotation in the past few months, and although it's a challenging garment in theory, as turtlenecks are (we just feel so conflicted!), we have to say we're learning to love it. As you can imagine, our eyes got wide when we saw not one but TWO turtleneck crop tops at the iHeartRadio festival yesterday, on Miley Cyrus and Gwen Stefani .
