Gwen helps wildfire victims

Gwen Stefani is taking a detour from entertainment into charity, starting a college-scholarship fund for students affected by this fall's California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my [San Diego] show out of respect," Stefani, 38, said in a statement, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "But then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution." That led to the Gwen Stefani After-the-Fires Scholarship, which will benefit students who lost their homes or sources of income in the fires. Details of the fund are still being worked out. Stefani also donated about $160,000 in proceeds from her Oct. 30 concert in San Diego to the San Diego Foundation fire-relief fund. The wildfires raced through Southern California in late October and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.

Gwen covers up for concert

Gwen Stefani covered up for her performance in Malaysia on Tuesday in response to concerns from Islamic critics that her revealing stage costumes might corrupt the country's youth. Bursting onto the stage in a short-sleeved shirt and black-and-white striped hot pants suit over a black leotard (with black elbow-length gloves), Stefani announced, "I am very inspired tonight." Changing her outfit for every song, the singer's full coverage came as a result of a charge by the 10,000-member National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students that her revealing outfits and cheeky performances clashed with traditional Islamic values. Under Malaysian government rules, a female artist must be covered from shoulder to knee and is prohibited from jumping, shouting or throwing objects onstage or at the audience. Stefani told a local entertainment paper, "I've been in the music industry for 20 years and this is the first time that I'm facing opposition from people who have misunderstood me... I'm not a bad girl."

Gwen to tone down show for Muslims

Gwen Stefani has agreed to respect local customs and not wear revealing costumes for her upcoming concert in Malaysia. After protests from Muslim students about her sexy outfits, the show's producer said Stefani will follow the local code of ethics for foreign artists, which says female artists must cover up from the to top of the chest to the knees including the shoulders. No jumping, shouting, hugging, kissing or throwing of objects on stage or at the audience is allowed. The National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students, which counts 10,000 members, say Stefani's standard show clashes with Islamic values. "Her performance and her attire are not suitable for our culture. It promotes a certain degree of obscenity and will encourage youth to emulate the western lifestyle," said the union's president. "The concert should be stopped." senior official of the country's Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry said the concert will go on but that enforcement officers would meet with Stefani beforehand to remind her of local guidelines and monitor her show: "There is no problem so far. [The promoter] has told us what clothes she will wear for the concert."

Gwen suing over copycat designs

Gwen Stefani is suing the retail chain Forever 21 for trademark infringement. In papers filed in LA Federal Court, reps for the singer's Harajuku Lovers line claim Forever 21 is marketing, promoting and selling products featuring a design "virtually indistinguishable" from Harajuku's heart/box logo. The clothing chain is alleged to have "changed a couple of words in the Heart/Box Trademark, which are inconspicuous and likely to go unnoticed by a consumer." The Forever 21 designs use the same logo but call their line "Forever Love."

SJP takes digs at Gwen and young Hollywood

Sarah Jessica Parker took a dig at fellow celebrity designer Gwen Stefani while promoting her new fashion line, Bitten. Parker described Stefani's work as "much more avante-garde, definitely high fashion" to Glamour mag and added, "I don't want to do that for women, because that's not their lives... You're going to be able to buy $200 worth of clothes, leave that store with six bags and be able to pay your utilities and take your kids someplace special for their birthday." Parker has been open about growing up in a poor family, and tells the mag, "I got all of my oldest sister's hand-me-downs. And by the time I inherited them, they were really out of fashion." Parker also took a swipe at young Hollywood starlets: "Look how celebrities are acting these days," she said. "People are getting attention for doing nothing, for behaving poorly, for abusing themselves in public and being abused, exploiting themselves. I find it vulgar, and I find it awful."

Gwen talks babies and weight

Gwen Stefani spoke to UK Elle mag about losing her baby weight, being a new mom and being married to a rock star. A few excerpts:

On her public pregnancy: "It was weird being pregnant in a fishbowl situation. Especially on days when you feel really fat and disgusting and not cute. Pregnancy was challenging in a way I didn't expect. I was on tour and I was so sick. It was like PMS times a million."

On baby weight: "I worked out with my trainer throughout my whole pregnancy until about two weeks before. I cried during my last session. I was like, 'I can't breathe, I can't do this anymore. What am I doing?' It was crazy. All my life I had to work hard to stay in shape. I've always struggled with it. I was a little chubby when I was younger, and I didn't want to be that person forever. I became a swimmer at school - but only because I wanted to be skinnier! I'm extremely vain. I like wearing cute clothes."

On getting her body back: "There aren't any tricks, it's simple math: you put this much food in, you burn that much working out. I gave myself three months - but if I didn't have an album coming out, there's no way I would have gotten back into shape in that time. I worked out with my trainer five days a week, with weekends off. I would really recommend doing weights. I'm not into yoga and pilates - they don't work for me and I don't have the patience. I'm more like a man. I like going to the gym and lifting weights or doing a little boxing."

On Kingston and Shiloh's playdate: "Yeah! They were like two little blobs when they met. Maybe they'll get married when they grow up? That'd be cute!"

On the Hollywood body ideal: "It sucks that that's what is supposed to look good and that's what everyone strives to be. There's more to life than being on a diet. Clearly, I spend time thinking about it, and it's something I've had to deal with in my life. As I get older, I try not to focus on it, it's boring, it's a waste of life. What I have learned is that whether I'm fatter or thinner, people seem not to mind, they like me either way. It's more in your own mind than anyone else's."

On being married to Gavin Rossdale: "There are negatives and positives, but for the most part, it works. He can tell me about things going well or badly and I can totally relate to that. We were very lucky to find each other and we have this ongoing crazy love affair, with its peaks and valleys, like everyone else's... Having Kingston has been the most romantic thing to have happened to us."
