Thanks to Sophie for sharing,Gwen is #6 on a list compiled by E!Online of the most stylish pregnant celebrities.Can’t think of anyone worthier of being on such a list-Gwen looked gorgeous during both of her pregnancies

6. Gwen Stefani
No doubt pregnancy’s just another opportunity for the singer to get creative with her couture. Gwen wowed at the 2006 Grammys in an awesome ombre cheetah-print gown.

Thanks to music photographer Johnny Riggs for sharing another No Doubt photo on his Flickr photostream,here’s a Tragic Kingdom-era pic of Tom:

Tom Dumont of NO DOUBT
Unless my mind and memory are just completely shot, I think this might be well into the Tragic Kingdom tour. I could be wrong though.
I think it’s D.C.
I’m almost sure of that.
Although it could be Virginia.
And there’s a possibility of New York.
But I think D.C. is right.
I don’t know.
Where am I?
I like this shot of him a lot.
He’s good people.
He’s like 3 to 4 good people rolled into 1.

Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere Soundtrack Details Revealed
8/27/2010 By Josiah Hughes

With the filmography of Sofia Coppola, the soundtracks are just as exciting as the movies. In fact, some would argue that they’re the only redeeming value of otherwise shoddy filmmaking. After all, when you have the likes of Kevin Shields or baby daddy/Phoenix frontman Thomas Mars in the fold, it’s hard not to compile great soundtracks. For her upcoming feature, Somewhere, the accompanying music looks to maintain that quality control.


 While an interview with Mars earlier this year suggested Phoenix would be recording the bulk of the soundtrack, a tracklisting leaked on The Playlist suggests otherwise. The record does start and finish with different versions of Phoenix’s “Love Like a Sunset,” but in between those tracks is a widely diverse array of artists, including Foo Fighters, the Police, Amerie, T. Rex, Gwen Stefani, Sebastian Tellier and Bryan Ferry. Also in there is the Kiss track “Love Theme From Kiss,” which kick-started Phoenix’s Kitsuné Tabloid mix, and a demo of the Strokes’ “I’ll Try Anything Once.”


 The Playlist bloggers discovered this tracklisting through the Italian distributor for Somewhere. As such, the soundtrack does not have a release date yet, and some details are missing, including the reason Gwen Stefani’s “Cool” is on there twice. Outside of that, however, it looks like an eclectic and highly enjoyable mix.

Somewhere is due to hit theatres on December 22.

Somewhere OST:

1. Phoenix “Love Like a Sunset Part I”

2. William Storkson “Ghandi Fix”

3. Foo Fighters “My Hero”

4. The Police “So Lonely”

5. Amerie “1 Thing”

6. T.Rex “20th Century Boy”

7. Gwen Stefani “Cool”

8. Paolo Jannacci “Che si fa”

9. Gwen Stefani “Cool”

10. Romulo “Teddy Bear”

11. Kiss “Love Theme From Kiss”

12. The Strokes “I’ll Try Anything Once”

13. Sebastian Tellier “Look”

14. Bryan Ferry “Smoke Gets In Your Eyes”

15. William Storkson “Massage Music”

16. Phoenix “Love Like A Sunset Part II”

I would like to send my friends Adrian and Tony my most sincere admiration and warm wishes on this anniversary of their births. -Tom

Thanks to Anne from justnodoubt.net for sharing,Gwen has been named one of the greatest blondes of all time in a poll conducted by Clairol’s Nice and Easy Haircolor and One Poll and posted on sites like ContactMusic. Gwen comes in at Number 14

Marilyn Monroe has beaten a host of famous beauties to be named the greatest blonde of all time.

The late screen legend beat off stiff competition from a host of modern beauties, including Cameron Diaz, Madonna and Scarlett Johansson, to be awarded the title in a new poll.

In second place was actress Grace Kelly – who famously married Prince Rainier III of Monaco – French beauty Brigitte Bardot was third, while Cameron came fourth.

A spokesman for Clairol Nice ‘n Easy – the company which commissioned One Poll to carry out the survey – said: “Marilyn Monroe has always been known for her iconic blonde hair.

“But it’s amazing to think that even now, almost half a century after her death, she has still beaten modern blondes to the top spot.

“Her hair is synonymous with 1950s glamour but it has stood the test of time against hair styles and colours which have come and gone over the years.”

Other platinum stars to make the top twenty include Fleetwood Mac star Stevie Nicks who came eighth, Blondie singer Debbie Harry in tenth spot, Madonna made it to eleventh place, while Gwen Stefani took fourteenth place.

Greatest Blondes of All Time, according to One Poll:

1. Marilyn Monroe
2. Grace Kelly
3. Brigitte Bardot
4. Cameron Diaz
5. Holly Willoughby
6. Joanna Lumley
7. Scarlett Johansson
8. Stevie Nicks
9. Olivia Newton-John
10. Debbie Harry
11. Madonna
12. Doris Day
13. Goldie Hawn
14. Gwen Stefani
15. Denise Van Outen
16. Barbara Windsor
17. Honor Blackman
18. Tess Daly
19. Charlize Theron
20. Paris Hilton
