'Cool' Stefani: "fat and little"

Gwen Stefani, whose latest single 'Cool' was released on Monday, has told a womens' weekly that she considers herself to be fat and ugly.

"I think of myself as a fat little dorky kid," the tall and slim singer told glossy mag Grazia.

Stefani, as you almost certainly know, came to public prominence with the Orange County ska-pop-punkers No Doubt, before going solo earlier this year with an album with a dumb title. She's married to ex-Bush singer Gavin Rossdale. Maybe they have a dog?

Gwen Stefani's new song is not as good as that bananas one. Oh no. Nor does the video feature cheerleaders.

The new single sounds like a saccharine Cathy Dennis B-side from 1989. One of the worst songs ever written.

Silly season, innit? They've spent the last week talking about some geezer who used to live in Liverpool, moved to Spain and came back.

So, poor little rich girl going on the self deprecating whirlygig but no mention of her ugly, fat, dorky ambition? 'I think of myself a talentless howler who struck lucky with my crap ska and turgid pop'. Kwik Save Courtney. Face like a dropped pie. Kate Bush spews are more tuneful.

'Face like a dropped pie' - I have only just got my breath back, after hooting loudly for the last 3 minutes or so. Well done

Mr grinner I hope you wasn't dissing Cathy Dennis! I only remember that one pop hit she had (in the states) and it was good. And she's gorgeous gorgeous....unlike Gwen, who is neither fat nor little, but I got a whole boatload of other adjectives that would apply. Fucking old cow. (See, there's one!)

Well if she is fat then I must be clinically obese, I better go to the doctors and get me some ecstacy to get thin.

Well, I did really fancy Cathy Dennis when I was 12. But her music was bobbins.

If we all chip in we could get her a weekend at a beauty spa to recharge and reclaim some of that self worth she so rightly deserves, i've got a tiny little invisible 50p, anyone else?

That is gold. But you couldn't think of stuff we're intersted in cause. Lets be honest. Who here actually reads stuff like Smah Hits?

Re: 'Cool' Stefani: "fat and little"

Actually, No Doubt's first two albums were really good. A bit wonky, a bit mad. They had horns too. Then someone said "Hang on, she's got a nice arse, let's dress her up as a majorette and write an album to it". Musically, it was all downhill from there. 'Cool' is pretty crap, but if you can be arsed to look into it (and I don't blame you if you can't), it seems to be about Stefani's relationship with bandmate and ex-boyfriend Tony Kanal. Something about still being friends even though she's at the back of the No Doubt tour bus bouncing up and down on her current boyfriend. Well, I just thought it was a nice sentiment, still being pals and all that.

By the way, did anyone else realise that Wendy and Lisa, formerly of Prince and the Revolution, co-wrote and performed some of Stefani's album? I almost bought the damn thing.
