No Doubt is back and they’re making a splash into the scene by going on tour. The band has recently announced on their official website that they will be heading out on the road. Singer Gwen Stefani says that it will be good to reconnect with the fans and play all the good songs. There won’t be much new material though but hitting the road will hopefully inspire the writing process for the new album as the group plans to record while they’re on the road. There are no cities or announced dates yet but I’m sure updates won’t be hard to find.

Nicole Scherzinger’s solo debut album has been postponed so many times that it has already been considered a flop. After lackluster singles failed to connect with the audiences and garner radio airplay, her record doesn’t even have a release date. Now, it seems it may never come out but if it does, it will never get the promotion and support that Gwen Stefani and Fergie got after stepping away from their respective bands.

So what can she do? Go back to where she came from! Pussycat Dolls founder Robin Antin has revealed that Nicole is back with the band and is quite focused on PCD. I guess Nicole’s eating her words about not going back now.

Gwen Stefani gave the first tv performance of her new single entitled “Now That You Got It” on the UK show “Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway” on September 29th.
She ROCKS!!!

Gwen Stefani was a good girl, just like she promised. The 37-year-old pop star wowed fans in Muslim-majority Malaysia on Tuesday, performing in costumes that showed almost no skin after Islamic critics claimed that her revealing clothes could corrupt the country’s youth. You can wear clothes that cover your body tip to toe and that’s great as well and even if you want to wear clothes that reveal the flesh that’s fine too, but don’t give me the argument that not wearing a full length dress will corrupt the country’s youth. There is the internet, playboy and other magazine’s that are freely available in each country that is even to corrupt a 14 year old. And scores of Porn movies that are available at your nearest CD vendor that cost you almost nothing are good sources for adult entertainment. That Gwen has kept her promise shows that she didn’t have bad intentions. I can think of a lot of other performers and even ordinary people who would corrupt a youth population before Gwen Stefani ever would.

Gwen Stefani says she wants more children – but not while she’s on tour and not until she’s done another No Doubt record. Her 1-year-old son, Kingston, has been traveling with the 37-year-old singer on her ”The Sweet Escape” tour.

That’s great news for us fans that she is committed to the 6th album of the group NO DOUBT. ”I go from the tour bus to the hotel room to the concert venue – all while carrying my baby,” Stefani said. But my advice to her right now would be to take it easy on herself and not to over work her body, she got a long career ahead of her and taking to many responsibilities could have a burn out effect on her. Managing the kid, being on a long tour thousands of miles away in Australia and then having it all the time in her mind that she has to fulfill the commitment that she has made to her band. All this can be taxing and their plenty on time in which she can do the touring job.

Gwen Stefani’s solo successes have caused tension between her and her No Doubt bandmates, because nobody expected it to go on as long as it has. The Don’t Speak hitmakers have been on hiatus since 2003, although they recently announced plans to record a sixth studio album together. We all strive for a successful career, be it Paris Hilton seeking success in destroying herself which she has achieved according to me as well as Lindsay Lohan or be it the likes to Gwen who is tasting success in her solo career as well as fashion line that she is pursuing. She can now take time out to fulfill her commitments with the band and create another smashing No Doubt album; we surely will be waiting holding our breath for the next album. Success make others insecure and that is natural, once they start recording for the proposed album their will be ‘No Doubt’ among the members of the band about her commitment.

Gwen Stefani apparently isn’t everyone’s favorite girl in Malaysia. A Muslim students group that objects to the pop star’s sexy style and come-hither lyrics is pushing to have Stefani’s first-ever concert in Kuala Lumpur scrapped before the spotlights have a chance to shine. “Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene,” Mohamad Hilmi Ramli, president of the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students has said. “We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene.” Well most Muslims are very strict about what they like and what they do not want to allow happening in their country, despite Malaysia being a rapidly developing economy and being a leading tourist destination in Asia, perhaps it’s not yet willing to open up so much to international performance by western artist. She is currently playing in Australia and will have to complete the Asian leg of tour without a performance in Kuala Lumpur.
