The MTV Video Music Awards are tomorrow, but new mommy Gwen Stefani won’t be there. She’s said to be pissed at her poor treatment at last year’s show, when Kelly Clarkson scooped up all the awards and the camera kept panning in on Stefani’s dissapointed face. Instead of sucking it up and showing up for her career, she’s just staying home:

Aw, poor Gwen. It must suck to be a best selling recording artist charging exhorbitant amounts for clothing designs ripped off from hipper cultures and manufactured by sweatshop labor. If you can’t get a little award once in a while, why bother showing up?

Here’s Gwen taking a jog in NY with a trainer yesterday.

You may have seen these pictures already, but they’re just so cute we couldn’t resist publishing them. Here are Gwen Stefan and her husband Gavin Rossdale out with their newborn, Kingston. Stefani and Kingston are seen watching Rossdale play tennis on 6/17 and out walking on 6/24.

Gwen Stefani is going to star in a remake of Tennessee Williams’ “Baby Doll,” which was originally released as a film in 1956:

Stefani seems like a good choice to play a vampy retro character, and it’s sure to be a juicy role.

Here is the cute family on 6/17 and 6/24.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale show off little two and a half week-old Kingston in OK! Magazine.

NoDoubtWeb has a reprint of the OK! accompanying story, which mostly focuses on Gwen’s fashion sense, how cute and likeable the family is, and the fact that Gwen plans to shape up quickly:

Gwen, Gavin and little Kingston plan to move to a bigger house in California. The home where they now live in Los Feliz was purchased by Gwen in 1998 and seems too small for the growing family.

We took a couple days off, and are technically still on vacation. Babies were born, people died, we got more comment spam – the world went on.

A lot of people like Gwen Stefani, and it’s nice that she’s pregnant and married. I can’t stand her, although I do publish pictures of her and haven’t said anything about it yet. She hired a bunch of American-born Asian women to follow her around and act like they enjoy behaving like Japanese kept women. Their contract even stipulated that they couldn’t talk. Gwen may want to capitalize on the harijaku culture, but what she did is like having minstrels accompany her because she thinks African culture is cool.

Her new line of baby shoes is ridiculous. The designs are aimed at urban minorties who are more style-conscious in general, and statistically have less money. A pair of baby shoes from Gwen’s line costs $50 a pair. Babies don’t really need shoes until they can walk, but the sizes only come in sizes 0-3. My kid was a siize 5 by the time he could walk.

So Gwen’s new line of baby shoes, which she has called “so cute,” are expensive accessories meant for babies who don’t even need them.

There are people from all walks of life who want to buy expensive shit for their children. My cousin, for instance, has money and spends it on baby items that are obsolete within a couple of months. These shoes are aimed at style-conscious urban mothers who often can’t afford it. Is it Gwen Stefani’s fault that people buy crap they can’t afford and don’t need? No, but she’s catering to it. These shoes are undoubtedly manufactured overseas in sweatshop-like conditions, and could surely have a lower price. (If you have evidence that this is not true, please send a link, because I looked around.) Is Gwen the only designer guilty of this? Of course not. If the damn shoes are so expensive, though, they could at least be made in the US.

Back to our regularly scheduled escapism. Here are the shoes and Gwen herself, who just had an second over the top baby shower attended by other celebrities like Christina Aguilera.

Gwen is due to have her first baby with fellow rocker Gavin Rossdale in June.

Gwen Stefani will include some tiny tennis shoes in her Lamb fashion line. She has announced plans to release gold-colored baby shoes under her label:

She won’t have much time to do everything. She is due to have her first baby with fellow rocker Gavin Rossdale in June.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were photographed at her parents’ LA home on Easter Sunday. Stefani and Rossdale have recently confirmed that they’re expecting a baby girl:

Here are pictures of the happy couple outside of Stefani’s parents’ house. A neighborhood kid is seen approaching Stefani to get her autograph on a poster-sized picture of her on the cover of Rolling Stone.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are due to have their first child in mid May, so it’s a good thing that Rossdale is now finished with his latest project – playing a bankrobber in an indie film:

Here are Stefani and Rossdale enjoying a relaxing Sunday while out yesterday in Hollywood.

Gwen Stefani may be starting a new magazine with print mogul Jane Pratt, former head of the magazines “Jane,” and our favorite glossy in our teen years, “Sassy.” Women’s Wear Daily reports that Stefani is in final talks with Pratt for the project, which would “include book and online components” and involve Stefani’s record label, Interscope:

The magazine’s target audience is unknown. While Pratt has said she wants to start a magazine for women over 35, Stefani’s involvement suggests that they want to attract younger readers.
