Meiko updated her MySpace blog after attending Gwen’s birthday party:

“Woah! So- i just got home yesterday…. Had time to ch ch chill for a bit and then I had to get ready to go to GWEN STEFANI’s B-day party! Holy Lord!!!

I went with my friend/ producer, Greg Collins… We had sooo much fun… Ok Details anyone?

We got there pretty much as soon as it started… We were about the 5th and 6th person there… The house… Ri- Donk-u-lous…

Gwen greeted us and took us on a tour… She showed us Kingston’s room and it was sooooo cute!!!!!

Then- Highlight of the night. We got to meet the new baby, Zuma! He was fricken adorable and only 5 weeks old.

It was nice to see someone so successful and so humble. Her husband, Gavin Rosdale, made an Happy Birthday announcement before the cake- and it was so obvious that they were madly in love… I was a very lucky fly on the wall.

famous people at the party? Christina Agulara, Benji Madden, Nicole Ritchie, Jimy Ivine, Demi Moore, Ashton Kutcher, Pierce Brosnin, Ellen DiGenerous… and I think thats it. There was about 60 people total… I felt like I was in La la land. I guess I was.

HL Fragrance Launch

taken from: Special Events

It takes a great event to impress beauty editors who have seen — and sampled — it all. At the April media launch of Coty Prestige’s new “Harajuku Lovers” fragrance collection, created by pop superstar Gwen Stefani, Los Angeles-based TBA Global made just such a splash. Through a mix of design, entertainment and pure creativity, the TBA team took 70 New York beauty editors to Japan’s Harajuku District, inspiration for Stefani’s fragrance line. “It would have been easy to just rely on a megastar to make a product stand out,” says Alison Smith Jenks, TBA’s vice president of marketing. “But we wanted to push the envelope and submerse the editors in the energy of the Harajuku District culture.”
WELCOME TO JAPAN

The funky, hip quality of the Harajuku District is reflected in Stefani’s fragrance bottles, which are molded in the shape of the “Harajuku Girls,” the singer’s backup dancers. “Stefani is a creative genius, and her work is visually stunning,” Jenks says. “Our job was to take the creative concepts she designed with Coty and bring them to life.”

The event team started with the venue — a chic downtown loft space — which TBA chose for its size, aesthetics and proximity to magazine offices and hotels. “We didn’t want the editors to travel too far,” Jenks points out. To turn the space into a fantastical “Harajuku world,” the event team designed five unique lounge areas, representative of the collections’ five different scents and bottles. Larger-than-life bottle figurines adorned the space, while paper lanterns dangled from the ceiling. Sleek Lucite chairs displayed decals inspired by the Harajuku line: a mix of Japanese characters, hearts and other symbols. Bathroom doors featured Japanese anime characters in place of the usual male and female symbols, while projections of Stefani’s song lyrics scrolled atop coffee tables.
Waiters passed selections from a Japanese-influenced menu on bamboo trays. The editors munched on mini tuna burgers with wasabi mayonnaise, sake-marinated fried chicken, jicama and lotus root dumplings, and wasabi peas. Coconut sorbet, green tea ice cream and hibiscus tea with lavender honey provided a sweet finale.
STAR TURN

On a stage designed to resemble a Japanese teahouse, a multi-panel video projector displayed images of Stefani and her Harajuki Girls morphing into anime figures while her hits played. As a nod to Japanese theater, each anime figure was then revealed as a live dancer in silhouette behind rice paper scrims. “Showing just their silhouettes provided a really cool feel and added to the mystery and anticipation of Stefani’s appearance on stage,” Jenks says.

The stage’s center screen opened to reveal Stefani herself, who then sat with a Coty executive for an informal, talk show-style Q&A session. This personal format “allowed her personality to shine through,” Jenks says. TBA also scheduled one-on-one interview sessions with Stefani for the editors. “It was the ideal situation for a media launch,” Jenks says.

Chris Rock loves No Doubt & Gwen

I was watching Chris Rock’s new comedy special, Chris Rock: Kill The Messenger, and there’s a part about 30 minutes into it, where he says the loves Gwen Stefani and No Doubt is one of the best groups ever. He also says he always has a No Doubt cd in his car at all times. He was singing “Don’t Speak” and “Hollaback Girl”. It’s a really funny segment! He even says “Gwen Stefani Heaven” … the show itself is really funny, if you get a chance, check it out!

Diapers & Elephants

taken from: Celebrity Babies

Gwen Stefani always looks great, whether she’s nine months pregnant or two weeks postpartum. The 38-year-old songstress tells Parents.com that while she doesn’t have any “style secrets” per se, she does dress to impress — many, many people! “I try to look the best I can for myself and my husband [Gavin Rossdale], but knowing that every time I leave the house I’m going to be followed by a zillion paparazzi is a little inspiring too.” Just because Gwen loves to go all out with her own wardrobe doesn’t mean that that enthusiasm extends to her two sons Kingston James McGregor, 2, and Zuma Nesta Rock, 4 weeks, however.

“Honestly, my favorite thing is when they’re just wearing diapers. I think that’s when they look the best!”

Of her firstborn, Gwen goes on to share that Kingston counts The Jungle Book as his favorite bedtime reading material, and that he “basically likes anything that has elephants in it.”

Kingston is a little jealous of Zuma

Gavin Rossdale says his newborn son Zuma is “fantastic. Really good.”

And growing up - fast.

“He’s counting backwards from 10, which is pretty impressive,” Rossdale joked to Usmagazine.com Sunday at Jane Goodall’s sixth annual Roots & Shoots Day of Peace.

Rossdale added that his two-year-old son Kingston is still getting used to being an older brother.

“Kingston thinks he’s all right and is getting used to him,” he said.

Any jealousy?

“I think at first there was probably a little concern that [Zuma] might be staying over!” said Rossdale.

Meanwhile, wife Gwen Stefani “is feeling on top of the world,” he said. “We went to a wedding yesterday for my manager’s daughter. It was a lot of fun.”

See what Gwen Stefani looked like pregnant.

On Friday, Rossdale blogged that life “is good, been having real good time adjusting.”

“Every day is some sort of adjustment to the day before,” he added. “It’s been pretty busy on the home front, of course. There’s been visits and people and precious time.”
