GWEN STEFANI: HOW LUCKY CAN YOU GET?

It’s not often that a boyfriend takes such a liking to another man’s kids, but Gwen Stefani’s Blake Shelton is the exception. He spends long hours with Gwen at her kids’ basketball games, soccer games, and school activities and actually seems to enjoy their company. Even more surprising, the kids really like him!

Above, Gwen answers texts while Blake and Apollo chat at Zuma’s basketball game on Saturday.

DID BLAKE SHELTON BITE OFF MORE THAN HE CAN CHEW?

6’5” Blake Shelton comes in mighty handy when you have three boys under the age of 12 to manage. Gwen Stefani’s kids have taken to the country singer and we wonder if they’ll start looking like him in jeans and cowboy boots instead of rocker attire like their dad. Blake, Gwen, and the boys all vacation together and Blake (who has no kids of his own) is not overwhelmed by their youthful exuberance – he actually said “I didn’t know what I was missing.” Blake dutifully carried Apollo, 4, (note the pacifier to keep him quiet) to church on Easter. They all went to Gwen’s parents’ house for dinner afterward.

GWEN STEFANI’S SON KINGSTON ALREADY LOOKS LIKE A ROCK STAR

Is there any doubt that Kingston Rossdale, who’s only 10, will end up in the music business? He’s a dead ringer for his handsome dad (that face!) Gavin Rossdale (and an every day reminder to his mom Gwen of her ex-husband.) Both of Kingston’s parents are in the music business, as well as Gwen’s new boyfriend Blake Shelton. Kingston and his two brothers seem to have taken a liking to Blake and they spend time together. It’s interesting that Gavin Rossdale is now a coach on the UK version of The Voice – the same show where Gwen and Blake met.

GWEN STEFANI AND BLAKE SHELTON: THE PICTURE OF UNMARRIED BLISS?

It’s hard to imagine that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton were accused of having a fake romance to boost ratings of The Voice. (Did nobody believe that a country singer could replace a rock star?) The pair has also survived engagement rumors and pregnancy rumors with a sense of humor. One look at this paparazzi photo clearly shows they are genuine. Who else but a happy couple would stock up on groceries at Whole Foods while pushing around little Apollo Rossdale in the cart? They all seem very much in tune…

GWEN STEFANI: “I AIN’T NO COUNTRY GIRL!”

Well, THAT’S a relief! Gwen Stefani is back to her old self after that scary appearance at the Billboard Awards. You may recall, she sang a duet with Blake Shelton and she actually LOOKED like she was turning into a country western singer! Too much beige – no red lips or glam eye makeup, uninspired flat hair, and a glitzy sequin gown! Fans were distraught, fearing this was her new look. Fortunately she has reverted back to her cool rock n’roll self (above performing at the Samsung Summer Concert Series in NY) and hopefully she will STAY this way!

GAVIN ROSSDALE IS NOT AS BAD AS YOU THOUGHT

When is the last time you heard about a Hollywood divorce where the less wealthy partner did NOT demand half of the earnings of the more successful one? (Keep in mind it is the LAW in California that earnings are shared 50-50) Maybe…NEVER? We are shocked and filled with something like respect for Gavin Rossdale, who is not asking his very successful estranged wife Gwen Stefani for half her considerable income OR for child support. We say “something like respect “ because he WAS caught cheating. But he’s proven himself to be more than a simple cad – transgressions notwithstanding, he’s a gentleman with a sense of honor, rare these days. Now we know what Gwen saw in her English rock star. This will prove to be a smooth divorce – all the better for their 3 sons.

GAVIN ROSSDALE: ANOTHER NANNYGATE – WITH LURID DETAILS TO FOLLOW

AG091460_16nanny

Never for a MINUTE did we think that Gwen Stefani cheated with Blake Shelton before her marriage crashed. We knew that Gavin did SOMETHING to break her heart and cause her to end the marriage and now the truth has come out! Gwen found sexy texts between the nanny and Gavin on the kids’ iPad! Dumb! Another nannygate! And the cheating went on for 3 years! Gavin must have gulped when Ben Affleck got caught red-handed with HIS nanny. He probably half-expected that his nanny Mindy Mann would start selling stories to the tabloids. She hasn’t YET, but now that the secret is OUT, things MIGHT happen! We’re happy that Gwen has Blake Shelton to console her. (Above, Gavin and nanny Mindy getting acquainted)

GWEN STEFANI AND BLAKE SHELTON: BIRDS OF A FEATHER

144718PCN_Gwen18(1)

Gwen Stefani took her boys to a pet shop today and they made friends with all sorts of colorful birds. Gwen is fearless and had big talkative parrots crawling all over her. The family checked out all the birds and finally settled on a young bright green and yellow parrot. Some gossips are wondering if her “romance” with Blake Shelton is all just a publicity stunt, but we think not. Gwen comes from a down home working class Orange County family and Blake is actually more her type than her English rockstar estranged husband. They have more in common than you might think…

WHAT HAPPENED TO GWEN STEFANI?

AG085464_28gwen

We didn’t recognize Gwen Stefani in this photo taken this week at a presentation of her Harajuku children’s collection for 2015. It just doesn’t LOOK like our Gwen – she seems thin and for once we don’t like what she’s wearing. Sometimes weight loss goes with divorce. Marriage isn’t her only disappointment. Her fabulous L.A.M.B. clothing collection for women has ceased to exist! It cannot be found anywhere. She still sells shoes and some accessories, but there’s no explanation for the near collapse of her fashion empire.
