Gwen: My "Ongoing Battle" With Weight

Courtsey of Harper's Bazaar
Oh, Gwen. Go on with your vain self. You are so beautiful. And your hair is so chic, especially considering we expected it to break off years ago and turn itself into a crew cut in the manner Billy Idol.
For your mighty follicles alone, you should be commended. And yet, despite all the glamour, you’re still down to earth and universally pleasing.
So much so that when you started amassing a collection of short-skirted Harajuku girls, the world gave you a pass, despite the racial undercurrents and slightly uncomfortable “Madame and her girls” vibe.
And thank you for being so open in your magazine interviews. They're so much more interesting to read than the typical “I don’t comment on my personal life" stance taken by most celebrities. (and everyone else is commenting on your personal life, so you might as well, right?).
See the May Harper’s Bazaar in which Gwen opens up about her husband, losing the baby weight and her own narcissism. Interview highlights below:
On looking good on the go:
"There's always paparazzi outside my house. If you had paparazzi outside your house, you'd make sure you looked good, too."
On Gavin being a great father:
"I even wrote in a song, 'You seem like you'd be a good dad.' So, yeah, he's lived up to my expectations, more than. He has always been very loving and romantic."
On her fashion style:
"I've gotten a little more feminine over the last few years. Right into my late 20s, I never wore heels; I was always in my Doc Martens and baggy pants. But as the years go by, you get more comfortable with looking more like a woman."
On her ongoing battle with weight:
"Seriously, though, it's very boring and embarrassing and I hate talking about it, but it's true: I've always been on a diet, ever since I was in the sixth grade. It's an ongoing battle, and it's a nightmare. But I like clothes too much, and I always wanted to wear the outfits I would make. And I'm-" another chuckle "-very vain."
On where she’ll be in 10 years:
"Some days, I think there's no way to get away with this any longer…I still feel like that sometimes, even though it's been 20 years. But then some days, I just feel really inspired and I really believe in everything. It's like the 15 minutes just keep getting longer."
On getting back into shape after giving birth:
“It’s so much work afterward to get the weight off. I thought I was going to throw up (the first time she went jogging after giving birth). If you just do it, it comes off. And when you’re nursing, like I am, your metabolism is like, whoosh!"

I think her husband is good looking. Gavin looked better with longer hair with his days in the band Bush.

Doc Martens! I had forgotten about those! They were so cool to the alternative crowd in the early nineties.

I have to admit that I am a real fan of Gwen Stefani, she is a LADY with real class and style. She always looks great and give's her best.
She reminds me of old Hollywood; plus she doesn't worry about wearing the latest fad, she wears what works for her and what shows off that fantastic figure of hers...
She seems to be a good wife and mother from all outward appearances, I wish her all the luck she deserves...

She is so less-irritating than most!!
I agree with the majority of you - NO to the fake boobs and ridiculous lips. She's herself and that's perfect. She looks like HER - not a carbon copy bimbo.
One thing I know a lot will despise, but can't help it...
In that Bazaar cover, she looks a little like that Heidi from THE HILLS. I know, I know... I hate that b@tch Heidi and that evil, irritating Spencer, but there is a tad bit of a resemblance.
He-he!
I love Gwen, though. I grew up in Irvine, OC, so I always feel a certain affinity for my fellow OC girl. We're the same age, and I remember NO DOUBT back in their early OC days, playing at parties before they were big.
I honestly think Gwen is one of those that has not let fame ruin her. (not that I knew her or anything...)

Implants are for girls that are titally insecure about their looks- a woman that has had a masectomy-I could understand, but to me it looks like somebody stuck a velcro sticker on your chest and threw a 2 big balls and they just stick to it. Personally, I find it sexy as hell when a woman is jogging and her natural knockers are just bouncing in the wind-not when they don't move.

i saw her once outside her no doubt drummers house (huge house)by where i live, before i knew who they were. i thought to myself oh that must be the daughter of whoever lives there and she must be a model. she is very striking in person. when i had seen the drummer on another occasion he was seeding his grass in a rob and slippers and i thought that must be the son and he looks like a punk. lol! then i saw the house on mtv cribs & i was like oh my gosh!

That cover photo isn't great, I sure hope she doesn't get her lips fattened after seeing it, cos they don't normally look so thin it's the smirk.
