Gwen Stefani Becomes More and More Like Madonna...

Gwen Stefani hit the MTV European Music Awards with her ska 90's band No Doubt last night in Frankfurt, Germany 

Dressed in her lady-of-a-certain-age draped silks on the red carpet, the transformation into Madonna really is visible

 but it was on stage that it was clear that it's more than the material, girl, that makes the Madge

From the tall boots, to the menswear influence and fishnets, and, of course, the controversial finger/gun posing, Mrs. Rossdale is channeling her inner Ms. Ciccone like bananas!  

College Jeopardy Makes Me Feel Old

Last evening, as Mr G and I readied for our nightly competition of who houses more useless information, we were greeted with unannounced guest, "College Jeopardy" 

Adding insult to injury a "I'm Married to a Famous Singer" category came up and the clue wen something like 

"I'm married to Gavin Rossdale, no doubt" 

-blank stares-

beep beep

Alex: And that, of course, is Gwen Stefani. 

I gulped. These two are my generation's Paul and Joanne. And now they're $200 stumpers for the 20 set. 

I'm OLD. Thanks College Jeopardy. What is "I'm off to the river?"

DON'T: Reading Gwen Stefani on British ELLE

While the online is abuzz about Gwen Stefani's quotes about the genius of her wedding dress and its maker, John Galliano, inside this British ELLE, I couldn't help but have an "Oh No" moment with all those ill placed headlines.

Two big don'ts: "Botox" slapped in bold letters right at her Photoshopped visage and "Why men cheat" placed anywhere near her because Mister Stefani isn't exactly known for his fidelity. Poor thing.
