No Doubt Scrapbook

Ok, so I’ve been a very bad No Doubter. I’ve been neglecting my website. There has been lots of clippings and international magazine covers since I last posted which I haven’t put up. But I’m going to put up as much now as I can and keep putting things up when they get to my inbox, I promise!

So, sorry to anyone who’s sent stuff in that I haven’t posted up yet, hopefully you will see your submissions in the next few hours.

However, while I have been away from No Doubt Scrapbook I have been doing a few other things:

• I went on holiday to Nice in France which was beautifully sunny, unlike my home town of Leicester, UK;
• I designed and built a new Wordpress theme for Jenny at Beacon Street based on the Jackie Arce photos that she wanted to use;
• I built a new Wordpress theme for Anne at JustNoDoubt.net to her design;
• plus… I’ve been working on a secret project with my fellow No Doubters which (may be a while till we launch but) will be spectacular!

Rock steady,

Gwen Stefani takes you shopping

Like any good girlfriend, Gwen Stefani spills her secret style resources, her favorite chic cheapies and what she loves about her new Harajuku Lovers fragrance collection. She even hangs with GLAMOUR to talk about the husband and kids. Listen in—she’s as cool as she looks.

She’s like living pop art—against the white walls of the studio where Glamour’s cover shoot is under way, Gwen Stefani’s famous red lips, heavy black lashes and platinum hair stand out vividly. In fact, her style is so iconic, so crafted, so utterly Gwen Stefani that when she says hello and shakes my hand, I’m almost surprised she’s an actual talking, smiling person. I’m definitely surprised to realize that behind her twisted pinup-girl look, this rock star (married to another rock star, former Bush front man Gavin Rossdale) is kind of shy. Later, as she quietly breast-feeds her son Zuma, now one (she’s also mom to son Kingston, three), it’s hard to imagine her electrifying stadiums filled with screaming fans on the band No Doubt’s first tour in five years.

Woah!! Thanks for Tayler for sending this in. Looks like she’s been very busy collecting clippings and creating a collage that takes up an entire wall in her house! Nice work Tayler!

If you’ve created a collage of clippings send a picture of it to me and I’ll post it up

No Doubt have been featured across all the media lately with reviews of the 2009 tour. These are some clippings from the Los Angeles Times and Bay Area Magazine. Unfortunately the whole article isn’t in the picture so I can’t transcribe them. But thanks to Jenny at BSO for posting these a few weeks ago.

Following Gwen being featured on the cover of Elle USA the rest of the world has followed! Above are the South Africa and Korea covers and below are the full scans (cover and article) from the Polish edition. Unfortunatley there is no sign of a UK version featuring Gwen yet! Thanks to Anne from justnodoubt for all of these.

Thanks to Lilla for sending across these great scans of Gwen on the cover of the August issue of Cosmopolitan Hungary. The cover features a shot that was first featured on a UK Cosmopolitan cover back in 2003. There looks to be a great article too all about Gwen’s style but unfortunately I can’t read Hungarian!

If you can read Hungarian check out Lilla’s website: Love Gwen Stefani which has looks like a great site for all you Hungarian fans – loads of pics and updates!

A Q&A with No Doubt’s Gwen Stefani

Stefani, loving life, at home and on the road by Marian Lu

Gwen Stefani is no doubtedly back with No Doubt. After taking a five-year break from the ska-band, the 39-year-old singer has found success outside of No Doubt – with a fashion label (L.A.M.B), two hit records and two kids in tow.

But this summer she’s back with the band that launched her, and in its 1990s and early-2000’s heyday, sold more than 27 million records and won 2 grammys.

No Doubt plays the White River Amphitheater in Auburn on Sunday. Stefani talked to the Seattle Times: Continue reading this article from Seattle Times

Underneath it all

In the early days of No Doubt, Gwen Stefani – all fierce and fabulous – was already superwoman. Now she’s supermom, superbrand, and still bringing it onstage with the force of a superstar. By Aaron Gell

It seems impossible now, sitting with Gwen Stefani amid the dazzling bougainvillea and azalea on the sun-dappled patio of the Beverly Hills Hotel’s Polo lounge, but there was once a time, not long ago, when the delicate flower perched beside me on a leather banquette with her strong, thin arms wrapped around her midsection, blinking away a tear and looking like she could maybe use a hug, seemed to me the most terrifying woman in pop. Remember those No Doubt videos? There was Gwen the Malfunctioning Aerobic Fem-Bot wires crossed, head jerking maniacally from side to side in ‘Just a Girl,” and Gwen the Post-apocalyptic Jet Ski Hellion in “Hella Good.” Gwen the Noir Femme Fatale, throwing a courtroom conniption after bumping off a series of beaus in “It s My Life,” and Gwen the Tae Bo Powerhouse with the wife-beater tee and lipstick snarl, ready to take out the camera with a single well-placed kick in No Doubt’s “Excuse Me Mr.” And let’s not even mention Gwen the Foxy Nun in her solo hit “Wind It Up.” (Excuse me, sister!)

Thanks to Jenny and MTV for these great pics of Gwen which are due to feature in the upcoming July issue of Elle magazine (out June 15th). The second pic appears to be an alternate cover which could feature inside the magazine or may be the cover for readers with an Elle subscription.

Eeek! Looking forward to the new interview. Check back soon for the fully transcribed article!
