Gwen Stefani on vanity & performing while pregnant: “It was horrible. Certain songs would make me want to puke. You feel pretty gross when you are first pregnant. You don’t feel cute, you feel disgusting. You’re getting fat. It was hard. I mean, I’m very vain. That would be my middle name. Of course I am, you know what I mean? I love the visual.”
Gracing the cover with her dazzlingly unique style, Gwen Stefani adorns the front page of the April 2011 issue of Elle UK magazine.
The No Doubt frontwoman partook in a glamorous shoot with Matthias Vriens-McGrath while chatting with the publication about topics ranging from her marriage to make-up tips.
Highlights from the 41-year-old's interview with Elle UK are as follows, with a behind-the-scenes video from her photo shoot available below:
On her ideal day: “I think of myself as really lazy. My ideal day would be to never get out of bed. No one can force me to do something unless I’m passionate about it.”
On her marriage: “I’ve been with Gavin for 14 years, and, let’s face it, that is a huge accomplishment. I feel so proud of that — it hasn’t been the easiest journey.”
On make-up: “I wear make-up every single day; I like to wear make-up for Gavin and I don’t feel energised till I’ve put it on, then I’m ready to go.”
Zuma is just so BIG!! Oh my goodness – my has time flown.
Here’s Gwen Stefani helping her children - Zuma and Kingston – out of their car ( a Maserati) and into her parents’ house in Los Feliz. Looks like the ‘No Doubt’ singer – who recently admitted her relationship with Gavin Rossdale has been a rough ride – brought along a nanny for a little extra help.

Troubled glamour model Katie PriceÕs (aka: Jordan) night at the theatre nearly ended in disaster after her over zealous driver crashed her BMW !! Katie was in London to attend the critically acclaimed stage show Blood Brothers at the Phoenix Theatre In Charing Cross. After the performance (10:30pm) Katie appeared sporting a Comic Relief Red Nose and her entourage left the theatre, only to be greeted by a crowd of waiting fans, autograph hunters and photographers. The group jumped in KatieÕs waiting car but as they went to leave the driver hit the accelerator sending the car ploughing forward into the crowd! By sheer luck the driver swerved the car and hit a metal street bollard bringing the car to an instant stand still. No one was seriously hurt in the incident that then brought the West London Street to a standstill for over two hours. Once the crowd had dispersed a cheeky traffic warden attempted to put a ticket on the car before the toe truck could arrive to remove the damaged vehicle. (February 18, 2011 - Photo by Bauer Griffin)

She's known to love the annual falltime traditions, and Gwen Stefani was back out for another year of pumpkin patch fun with sons Zuma and Kingston in West Hollywood on Tuesday (October 26).
The No Doubt frontwoman toted little Zuma in her arms while her costume-clad eldest boy Zuma was tended to by a nanny while roaming the grounds at the celeb-popular Mr Bones Pumpkin Patch.
Surprisingly absent from the family outing was patriarch Gavin Rossdale, who recently made headlines upon admitting to a gay love fling with a cross-dresser named Marilyn many years back.
Meanwhile, Gavin just recently announced that his band Bush is reuniting for a tour and new CD release after an eight year break.
With the band first set to play at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods in New Jersey on October 30, Rossdale told Reuters, "I'm so pleased because I've got my voice back. To be in Bush, you're basically born to be in...it's like a suit of armor." (Hollywood Gossip)
Gwen Stefani was spotted dropping Zuma off at her father's house. Looks like Zuma got to spend Saturday visiting his grandfather and his cousin Dennis (the little redhead :).
Grandparents are the BEST babysitters, aren't they? LOL
You know you can trust them, they love the kids to pieces, and the kids love them. I wonder where Kingston was. Maybe he had a playdate?
"Sunshine" is the perfect nickname for this perky California girl. Gwen Stefani's platinum blond hair and bright red lipstick catches eyes, thanks to a style that is mostly of her own creation; Gwen designed most of the midriff-baring outfits she wore during her No Doubt days. [askmen]

New Poster Gwen Stefani
Gwen Stefani grew up in Anaheim, California, after she was born in Fullerton on October 3, 1969. Her accountant mother, Patty Flynn, gave her the middle name Renee after the 1960s song "Walk Away Renee." Music was a fixture for Gwen Stefani and her three siblings as they grew up and, thanks to her parents, her early days were spent listening to Bob Dylan and Emmylou Harris. Gwen Stefani also learned the family hobby of sewing, a skill that would be valuable later.
