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.

Gwen's manager, Jim Guerinot, however, had this to say: "Akon has been a perfect gentleman on this tour.

Gwen took little Kingston along to the NRJ Music Awards. This kid has got so much exposure to the industry he'll probably be producing music before he's out of diapers. Looks like he's about to get some more experience too.

Gwen Stefani just announced the dates of her Sweet Escape Tour, which kicks of April 22 in San Diego and continues with 40 shows through June. Opening acts include Akon and UK rapper Lady Sovereign, which is funny because I just saw Lady Sov quoted in Rolling Stone saying: "This year [in music] has been rubbish. Apart from me, it's just been sh*t."

Gwen Stefani may be channeling Scarface-era Michelle Pfeiffer on the cover of The Sweet Escape (Interscope), but her second solo outing is squarely rooted in eighties pop, with a little bit of Sound of Music thrown in.
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 kitchen sink of new-wave references, cramming in chimey keyboards, punchy brass, tambourines, and a catchy "whoo-hoo! yee-hoo!"

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.

Due out 1st September is a brand-new exciting scent from Jo Malone. I always get especially giddy when they have a new launch because this brand has yet to let me down. I love that you can layer their scents, so I almost look at it as an opportunity to create something just for me, using a mix of their colognes as a base.

A friend recently returned from Thailand with tales of lush beaches, charming fire dancers, and fragrant food. She fondly recalled extravagant full moon parties on the beach, where the country's official spirit, an amber-hued liquor known as Mekhong, flowed freely.
At this point, I can only dream of an escape to Ko Samui — but I can get a tiny taste of Thai nightlife through Mekhong, which became available Stateside last year.
