Celebrity designers Gwen Stefani and Jennifer Lopez were neck and neck for awhile, - both taking in over 200 million for their women's clothing lines. Now, according to Laurie Pike in Los Angeles magazine, Gwen's lines are earning 20% more each year, while Jennifer's JLO lines are faltering. Gwen's lines L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers are sold everywhere in upscale boutiques, while Jennifer's designs only sell well out of the country. Part of the reason is Gwen is still very involved in her business and consistently wears her own designs. Jennifer USED to promote her track suits by wearing them to The Ivy, but she stopped before she got married. Watch out Jen - when celebrities lose interest in their own fashions, the customers lose interest also.

Little Kingston is at the park feeding the pigeons with his mom Gwen Stefani and his dad Gavin Rossdale. This kid appears to be really loved and happy and look at those sexy shoes his mom is wearing! Insiders are predicting that Kingston with have a sibling in the very near future. In other words, keep an eye on Gwen's waistline.

Can a family THIS good-looking possibly be happy too? Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale and little Kingston are walking proof that it IS possible. Gwen is hoping to have another baby as soon as she can make it happen, but no news yet. The Rossdales are pictured here on a family outing - they seem to be spending more and more time in London and we miss seeing Gwen running around in LA.
Here are two delectable fashion moments from the past week that we didn't want you to miss. Gwen Stefani is trussed up in her own plaid creation on the way to Christina Aguilera's baby shower. We bet she gives awesome gifts. And Rihanna is showing her S&M side as she performs in concert in Europe.
It's Fashion Week in New York, and as far as we're concerned, Gwen Stefani is the undisputed leader of the celebrity fashion pack. Not only is she creative and original with her OWN apparel, but one can see that she actually wears everything in her super successful clothing line. (We already fell in love with her red plaid hooded duffel coat at Saks Fifth Ave.) Here she looks tiny standing next to towering models from her New York show.
Pictures of Gwen Stefani are always easy on the eyes - we love her style - but this one is a little different. Instead of looking like a glamour girl or a hip mom she is flashing a real rocker chick look and nobody does it better! Except occasionally, Amy Winehouse. These two are polar opposites, but equally cool.
Do we need another reason to love Gwen Stefani? Here she is standing in line at the airport like the rest of us only looking way more adorable than most of us. What we love about her is the fact that she constantly wears clothing from her own LAMB collection. Most celebrities with fashion lines wouldn't be caught dead in their own clothes. Gwen flaunts her own designs and she looks so good she makes us want to buy them. We have yet to see Madonna wearing any of her own creations.
Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are a lighthearted addition to any party and Vanity Fair's is the one they chose Oscar night. We're not sure about Gwen's dress- it's kind of mature looking but dainty and interesting at the same time. The roped off fans got very excited about Gavin and Gwen. Unfortunately we hear that a group of well organized sticky-fingered gypsies and their kids worked the crowd of fans. While the fans, clutching autograph books, were ogling their favorite stars, they were relieved of their wallets. It's a jungle out there.
Gwen Stefani wowed 'em at the NRJ music awards in Cannes this weekend. She dropped the tinted aviator glasses and blonde pageboy persona (NOT our favorite) for a new "Hollywood starlet" look. WAY more mainstream (at least in this town) than we're used to seeing her, but she does look delicious.
Rumor has it that Gwen Stefani plans to gradually edit the Harajuku girls out of her act. Introducing the fancifully attired Japanese "ghetto girls" was a brilliant move and they've been her super-hip backup dancers for the past few years. (Actually the girls are American and they assumed the Harajuku style.) Gwen has some new ideas that don't include the girls, but her advisors don't want her to give them up yet. The girls helped make Gwen an enormous success in Japan and her L.A.M.B. clothing line is taking off like a rocket there. It's a smart business move to keep the Harajuku girls around for awhile longer and we hope Gwen agrees - we think they're adorable.
We knew that Gwen Stefani's delectable hairdo reminded us of a sweet confection. Recently we realized exactly which one: Tastee Freeze!
Gwen Stefani is a huge success on her own but there's no way she'll turn her back on No Doubt. The hugely popular band has been writing songs and is now laying tracks at an LA recording studio. We've been told Gwen finds time in her incredibly busy schedule to be a frequent visitor and contributor. Nobody knows how long it will take to finish this project - Gwen has a spring tour in the works to add to all her other jobs. But Gwen is loyal to her band and she will NOT disappoint!
Okay, we have to admit our sweetheart Gwen Stefani doesn't look her BEST at the AMA's. This is apparently the same outfit that she wore for her Entertainment Weekly spread, and it looks better sitting down. The combo of the wig, (we love her REAL hair) goofy sunglasses, and blah oufit are not up to her usual standards. But her yodeling makes up for a LOT. And Gavin looks adorable.
