Yay,a new Tweet from ND!

ND also Re-Tweeted Conan O-Brien’s Tweet from last night.

From HollywoodNews.com:

The crazy PR wars in Hollywood this past winter redistributed a lot of stars to new and different firms.

Now PMK, which merged with Bragman Nyman Cafarelli to become PMK BNC, has thrown down the gauntlet. They’ve brought in Dave Tomberlin from Interscope Records to their L.A. office. And Tomberlin is bringing heavy hitter clients with him.

Joining PMK-BNC are no less than the hottest star of the year, Lady Gaga (Stephanie Germanotta), as well Gwen Stefani, her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale, and Stefani’s group, No Doubt. For good measure, Tomberlin also delivers to PMK-BNC The Pussycat Dolls.

This is cool-in a Tweet posted tonight,comedian Conan O’Brien mentioned ”borrowing No Doubt’s road cases” for his upcoming comedy tour,and Tweeted a pic of the road cases.

http://twitpic.com/1c1ulw – For the tour, I’m borrowing No Doubt’s road cases. Wait until you hear my cover of “Just a girl”.

This is interesting-writer Jessica Bendinger,who wrote for the screenplay for the 2000 cheerleader comedy Bring It On, reveals in an interview with The Austinist that the character of Torrance,played by Kirsten Dunst,was inspired by Gwen.How ironic that Gwen evoked the cheerleader theme five years later in the Hollaback Girl video.

”Torrance is modeled on Gwen Stefani. I actually had a picture of Gwen Stefani from No Doubt over my desk while I was writing that. So, if you look at the “I am just a girl” video, and you look at that scene where Torrance is trying to get Missy to come back and be on the squad, with cameras everywhere. That energy from that scene, the sassyness, the opening cheer like “I am sexy, I’m hot, I’m everything you’re not“—you can kind of see the DNA of Gwen Stefani in that. I was trying to make cheerleading cooler than it was. It worked.”
