Love & Marriage

The Sweet Escape
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

"Summer loving had me a blast, 
Summer loving happened so fast, I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be" - Summer Nights, Grease

Remember the time when we all thought (well a majority of us did) that the Gwen Stefani/Blake Shelton romance was a PR stunt for The Voice? 

Cut to July 3rd 2021, "Yes" Minions they got married after six years together = 5 years of dating and close to a 1 year engagement. The two tied the knot on July 3rd 2021 in Oklahoma on Blake's ranch.

I hear he built a chapel for Gwen on the grounds for the ceremony. Can I get an Awwwwww? Of course I can.

With all the fracas going on in the world I thought a sweet escape with these two lovebirds would make it nice today.

This wedding photo is "So Fetch!"

Ha! Gretchen Wieners, I just made "Fetch" happen!

Just Because...Stylish

Fashion, But Is It Art?
Gwen Stefani

Just Because it's Monday and we could all use a pick me up, Just Because The Voice is coming back & Just Because she's so stylish after all - It's Gwen Stefani at a photo shoot in Beverly Hills!

Gwen is like an oasis amidst chaos and as per usual is ever so stylish, cool and collected at a photo shoot in the Hills of Beverly.

Hey she may not be no Hollaback Girl, but she is certainly an icon of style. 

Thus I am starting off your week with the always stunning Gwen and her sense of fashion as inspiration and fun. Inspiration for what you might ask? I said you might ask, but perhaps you might not.

Inspiration to seize the week, bridle it in and make it submit to the way you want it to be. The week is yours, now just do it!

Freaky Friday

Angelina Jolie
"But where are the clowns
Send in the clowns
Don't bother, they're here" - Send in the Clowns

Lately the song Send in the Clowns has been occupying various regions of my cerebral cortex. For quite obvious reasons I don't need to spell out for you I am sure. Well I decided to get all Freaky Friday on you today and post some images of celebrities made-up as Evil Clowns. I feel they are quite vogue at present.

Enjoy!

Odd Couple

Who'd Of Thunk It?!
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton

With the California Wildfires, the passing of  Marvel legend Stan Lee and the perpetual presence of Donald Trump - we all could use something to brighten our day.

Cue the hearts & flowers here it is! "Yes" the oddest coupling in Hollywood currently Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton. When this first started happening on The Voice I naturally thought it to be a ratings ploy, as I am sure many did.

So here we are three years later at the People's Choice Awards and they are still together - insert collective gasp here. "Yeppers" they are for real, amazing, I know...

Accentuate the positive and go out there and make it a good one y'all!

Gwen & Blake Wig Out!

What's That On Your Head? A Wig!
Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton
What would you do for a Scooby Snack? Well if your Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton you would don wigs and go as Daphne & Shaggy to her son Apollo Rossdale's Scooby Doo themed 4th Birthday party, that's what.

Aren't they the cutest? Honestly when I first heard these two, who met while being vocal coaches/judges on The Voice were a couple I was skeptical. You know ratings, PR and all that jazz. 

Obviously they are the real deal and have lasted way past the shelf life I would have expected post Gwen not appearing on the show.

Good for them! 

Now that I've done my due diligence I'm going to grab myself a Snack, of a non Scooby kind and motor off to spin class.

Holla!

with
Gwen Stefani
"Yes" I know today's byline is the name of Gwen Stefani's Holiday CD. It seems so fitting for this photo op she took witth Ed Sheeran, I mean the Gingerbread Man at The Grove in Los Angeles, CA.

Seriously what could give a Christmas vibe more than Gwen dressed as a Christmas ornament, standing next to a Christmas tree with a man that's good enough to eat I ask you? Uh-huh, that's what I thought, nothing.

Have a Sweet Saturday, only 16 more days until the Big C!

Hitting The Tinsel, Gwen Stefani

Be Your Own Ornament!
Gwen Stefani
Since Thanksgiving draws nigh and is officially/unofficially the start of Christmas, yes I said the start of Christmas, because lets face it Christmas is truly more than a day in December it is one long _______ fill in your own blank.

While many of you turkey gobblers will be hitting the bottle this weekend, witness one Gwen Stefani at the Empire State Building tree lighting ceremony, hitting the tinsel as it were. That's correct minions while most of you are keeping Christmas at bay by drinking the pain away this weekend Gwen is embracing it by dressing like a tree ornament so her and the tinsel are one.

Gee you'd never know she has a holiday CD to promote bearing the ominous title You Make It Feel Like Christmas, now would you???

Give in to your inner tinsel desires and bend it like Gwen, be your own tree ornament damn it!

Just Because...Gwen Stefani

Fashion! Turn To The Left
Gwen Stefani
Just Because I like her music, with No Doubt & solo. Just Because I also like her style jam. I present you with an ultra cool image of Gwen Stefani strutting her stuff in Los Angeles.

See Gwen strut down the street like she is on a catwalk wearing clothes better than most mortals on an average day. See Gwen's flawless ageless skin. See Gwen give off effortless grace...

Gwen, Gwen, Gwen, Gwen that's all I'll ever hear and see today now! Ya  know what? That isn't a bad thing because Gwen is like a an anti-depressant, a spoonful of sugar, a ray of light, You get the picture.

So enjoy Gwen, let her help you start the week off on a high note, OK a mid range one.

Have a Groovy Monday!

Confession: Gwen Stefani On Sexuality

Be Like Gwen 

With a new album out This Is What The Truth Feels Like Mama Gwen Stefani is making a bold confession about sexuality.

"I would be blessed with a gay son," she told Pride Source. "You know that I would feel blessed about that. I just want my boys to be happy and healthy, and I just ask God to guide me every day to be a good mother because it is not an easy job."

Can I get an "Amen?" Can you believe she actually drew criticism for letting her sons paint their nails?! Seriously everyone get a fucking life! If you focused your concern on what you were doing, instead of tearing apart others the world would be a better place. 

Let's spread love and acceptance, rather than hate and fear. If we did imagine the possibilities it would create in the world?

Whatever Easter Sunday means to you, why not try following Gwen or someone like her as an example?

Make it the day you reflect on yourself and actually think about how you can be a better person and treat your fellow man with more compassion. The world is an inclusive place. Start living in it rather than fighting it.

Grab Hold, It's The Grammy's!

Aladdin Sane x 2!
David Bowie & Lady Gaga
Happy Presidents Day! Which is doubling this year as Grammy Award day as well. Or as I like to call it The Lady Gaga David Bowie Tribute.
Since I really have no drive to write about award shows I went to my friends at E!Online and spied a write-up called "7 Things You Need To Know" about tonight's celebration.
I only found four of them worth re-printing, one of the things I did not include was about Kanye West. Send me Thank You notes later. Here are the Top 4 points of interest that I found worthwhile about music's biggest night! Source E!Online:
It's Me, Gwen Stefani
1. Music History: Just days after premiering her new single "Make Me Like You,"The Voice coach Gwen Stefani will collaborate with Target to produce a music video on live television. Set to air during a four-minute commercial break, the finished product will feature multiple sets and real-time costume changes as well as "special surprises for fans."
2. The Year of 1989: With seven impressive nominations for the evening, fans and critics alike believe Taylor Swift will walk away with an award before the night is over. But in even more good news, the "Shake It Off" singer is opening up the show with a top-secret performance. Now if only we knew if boyfriend Calvin Harris was coming too.
3. Honoring a Legend: Just a few weeks after the passing of David Bowie, the Grammys will pay tribute to the "Modern Love" singer with the help of the one and only Lady Gaga. After slaying the National Anthem at last weekend's Super Bowl, Mother Monster will perform an "experiential" tribute for late rock star, who will also be receiving a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award. "We had already booked Lady Gaga on this year's show, but when David passed—almost in a single moment—we knew we had to change direction," Grammys executive producer Ken Ehrlich said in a statement. "We immediately spoke and agreed that she should be the one to honor David. She's perfect for it."
4. Hello Superstar: While she may not be nominated this year—don't worry, there's an explanation whyAdele is still expected to attend the show where she will deliver a performance that may just be a tease to her upcoming tour across the country. For all those fans who couldn't score their tickets to the concert in your neck of woods, this may just be your lucky night.

Thanksgiving Bromance

I Feels For You
Adam Levine & Blake Shelton

Adam Levine has taken his Bromance with Blake Shelton to a whole other level by calling him the "sexiest man alive." 

People Magazine doesn't have a clue as to how hot Blake is according to Adam or they would put him on the cover of said issue (Adam himself is a former holder of the coveted title.)

The Voice coaches clearly have the feels for each other. Check out the photo above for proof.

Since today is Thanksgiving and all that jazz one of the themes of the Holiday is brotherly love. 

Nothing quite says that like a Blake & Adam sandwich. Watch out Gwen Stefani you have competition!!!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone!

Gwen & Blake, Sitting In A Tree...

Don't Do Anything I Wouldn't Do!
Blake Shelton & Gwen Stefani
K-I-S-S-I-N-G! The prosecution can now rest in the case of: The People v Stefani & Shelton. After much speculation by the general public it has now been confirmed their a couple and they are doing it.

Phew! Glad that's been put to rest! Hey where there is smoke there is fire, and while it was a little hard to tell if all their open flirting on The Voice was in good fun, or because of actual sexual attraction, well now you have your answer.

While the pairing may seem a tad odd, you must admit they are both lookers, not to mention they are both a living definition of the terms feminine & masculine.

Hey, whatever the case, he is a far cry from Gavin Rossdale and she and Miranda Lambert could not be more different.

I suspect that for both of them at this moment, that's a good thing.

Have A Gwen Stefani Monday

Work It!
Gwen Stefani

Sometimes I post things for no other reason than it made me smile. Well that's what happened when I saw this photo of Gwen Stefani with a heart on her shirt, no sleeves, out and about in Los Angeles.

The coach on The Voice never looks bad from casual to glamour, Gwen always pulls it off.

Of course being beautiful does help too, but Stefani has an uncanny precision in the area of fashion and how to work it.

So have yourself a Gwen Stefani Monday and smile everyone!

No Doubt you will.

T.G.I.F: No Doubt - "Settle Down"

My Autographed Photo of Gwen Stefani
In case you were otherwise engaged this past week, No Doubt has finally reunited and released their first full length studio album in 11 years "Push and Shove"...really?! WTF?! What took you sooooooo long guys?!

Well I guess there were the two solo albums by Gwen Stefani in the interim (loved them both, I love her solo and with ND) - and everyone else went and pursued personal gigs...Hey Adrian I know I saw  you drumming for Bow Wow Wow once or twice.

"Settle Down" is the latest single from the album of one of the best pop/rock bands evuh in this critic/writer/music lovers opinion.

Loving that the band has released a collective effort and you know I love me some Gwen Stefani, Gwen Stefani, Gwen Stefani.....

What is that image at the top of the blog? Why it's my autographed photo of  Ms.Thing herself that hangs next to my vanity mirror in my closet with my clothes, I can not think of a better place for it to be.

A shout out to my friend Joy Collingbourne who works at the M.O.B. Agency the entity that manages ND and GS together or separate - for getting it for me....

T.G.I.F! It's the weekend peeps time to "Settle Down"...!!!
