Verizon has pulled its sponsorship of Gwen's Sweet Escape Tour as a result of the disturbing video of Akon (her opening act) simulating sex on-stage with a girl who turned out to be only 15-years-old.

Akon and Lady Sovereign will also be performing. Tickets go on sale Feb. Read more

While the bizarrely alluring first single, "Wind It Up," has Gwen yodeling and sampling "The Lonely Goatherd," the title track (produced by and featuring Akon) is a veritable Read more
Why is Gwen crying in this artwork for her new album, The Sweet Escape? Do you think it's because she lost to Nelly Furtado for World's Best Pop/Rock Artist at the WMAs last night? Doubt it. She didn't even go so she couldn't have cared that much. And it's a good thing too because the show evidently wasn't that good! Source Read more
