hey y'all! before i head off to bed i totally had to post the latest gwen stefani video for her track early winter - hands down one of the best songs from her second kick-ass solo album the sweet escape! oh my goodness - like i've said before - if i were a girl - i would want to be exactly like ms. stefani - she is tops for being so damn fashionable & stylish! (i'm still rockin' her fragrance - i love it!) i'm thrilled tomorrow is friday - plus i'm extra stoked to see the b-52's in a rare local performance at the roxy - i have a feeling it's going to be one of those classic LA evenings on the sunset strip - i'm so ready to let it all hang out! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
hey hey! has anybody seen those commercials running that feature gwen stefani and hp printing?!? (it's embedded below in case you missed it) i knew she had her fingers in a lot of things but not paper & printers! (she must have gotten quite a nice paycheck from appearing on behalf of the company...) i must say though i loved the ad and i had no clue what it was for until the end! there's even a whole mini-site over at hp.com/gwen where you can do a variety of things (all involve printing...of course) including making your own custom gwen inspired paper dolls or you can pick from a few of ms. stefani's designs to make cards or even CD labels - it's all pretty nifty and once again anything gwen does is usually kinda cool - printing never seemed very glamorous until now! (ok that might be a little over dramatic on my part but you guys already know that if i were a girl - i'd want to be just like ms. stefani!) popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening y'all! right now i'm watching the emmy awards - i may do a quick random thoughts post but i really didn't feel like live blogging - i only enjoy doing that for the oscars - when the ceremony airs live on both coasts rather than tonight's west coast time delay telecast...anyways i wanted to post the latest gwen stefani video for her new single now that you got it which features damian marley - it's not my favorite track off her second solo album the sweet escape but it's quickly growing on me - plus really anything ms. stefani does - i totally dig! i finally got my gwen fragrance L which i've been wearing everyday - most people agree that it smells quite nice! enjoy the video below and perhaps i'll return with some thoughts on the emmys! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey hey! below we've got a gorgeous gwen stefani - a role model pop star & mother - britney spears take note - this is how it's done! besides having an amazing music career (i can't wait for new no doubt material!) ms. stefani has successfully crossed over into the fashion realm with her L.A.M.B. (love angel music baby) and harajuku lovers lines - plus like many other celebrities she has finally ventured into fragrances! her debut scent is available exclusively at nordstrom and promises to have a 'luscious floral scent with fresh notes of watery greens and warm sensual musks' - i'll need to get a whiff of it next time i'm over there! below is a double sided ad with ms. stefani toting her new fragrance - looking fabulous as per usual! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
hey hey! this is great news - finallyno doubt is working on their new album (expected release is sometime next year) and the good folks over at celebrity babylon caught gwen stefani, tony kanal, adrian young (such a cutie), and tom dumont at a 'secret' recording studio right here in los angeles - i've loved ms. stefani's two solo albums but it's going to be awesome to see her back with the band! i can't wait to hear some of their new material - we all know it's going to be killer! just last night at gwen's concert in irvine, CA the boys joined her at the end for three songs - just a girl, it's my life, & spiderweb - i'm glad the band has been able to stay together while gwen went off and did her thing! today i'm relaxing and running a few errands - it's pretty hot here and oddly on the humid side! i hope everyone is having a great weekend so far - i'll check you all later! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
good evening y'all! right off the bat - many thanks & much appreciation go out to my awesome cute pal zach who attended last night's gwen stefani concert right here in los angeles (lady sovereign opened - she's also pictued below) he managed to snap some great pics (and a small bit of video) which are all posted below! (he's also the guy behind the pics from her kick-off show in las vegas!)
i totally should've secured tickets to the show months ago but of course i left things to the last minute and sadly i missed ms. stefani again! (shame on me!) i'm even more bummed about not going last night because shirley manson stopped by & performed wonderful life with gwen (oh my gosh i would've passed out!) i'm a huge fan of ms. manson and garbage - she's so fucking fierce! i'm all busy tonight getting myself ready for next week and i'm also listening to the new björk album volta (due in stores on may 8th) she's beyond bizarre but i freakin' love her! popbytes over & out for tonight...xxoo!
PS the video clips below are great visuals but the sound isn't so great but i really enjoyed seeing them!
direct from mr. zachhere's a few details from the show...ms. stefani said she actually met hubby gavin rossdale there - at universal/gibson ampitheater - saying the venue felt much smaller than she remembered - gwen also mentioned shirley manson was 'so fuckin hot' plus she had met her there as well. gwen said it was her 4th or 5th show with about eighty left adding she's so excited to be on tour again! she also dedicated 'the real thing' to baby kingston!
hey hey! oh my gosh the weekend has almost passed us by - i swear two days is never enough before heading back to the daily weekday grind! just last night my darling gwen stefani kicked off her 'sweet escape' tour in las vegas and popbytes reader turned friend zach was fortunate enough to be there! (he totally hearts gwen more than anyone else i know - including myself!) he sent me a few pics he was able to snap from his amazing seats and he even spotted paris hilton who was there with her boytoy josh henderson (i guess james blunt was busy with someone else last night...) anyways the setlist is also posted below the pictures with a little commentary from mr. zach! i'm so bummed that i haven't secured tickets yet for her upcoming shows in los angeles & santa barbara but i'm on prowl now - the show sounds awesome! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
1. the sweet escape (police theme, harajuku girls come thru the audience in cop outfits and flashlights) 2. rich girl 3. yummy (gwen wears cute bakers cap) 4. 4 in the morning 5. luxurious 6. early winter 7. wind it up 8. fluorescent (so good!) 9. danger zone 10. hollaback girl 11. now that you got it (ends the song with a "reggae remix" of the song...which is way better than the original, and shouts out the boys from no doubt who are in the audience, for that part) 12. dont get it twisted/breakin up 13. cool 14. wonderful life (gwen says this song is a left over from lamb and the reason she did a second album) 15. orange county girl (gwen says "i love this fucking song" before she starts it, paris hilton applies make-up during the whole song)
encore 16. the real thing (acoustic - the whole band joins gwen in the front of the stage and they do an "unplugged" slow version of the song) 17. u started it (just gwen i like this song, but odd choice for an encore...) 18. what you waiting for (gwen wears the last blue leopard outfit - harajuku girls wear blond wigs)
hey hey! i just noticed that popsugar tossed up the new gwen stefani video for her new single 4 in the morning off her incredible album the sweet escape (trust me...it'll grow on you!) i simply had to post it here - gosh by now you all know me when it comes to ms. stefani! she looks gorgeous (as always) and the song is amazing - it's actually gwen's favorite off the album! popbytes over & out for now...xxoo!
