Gwen Stefani’s Solo Career Is a Wrap
Author: michele
No Doubt have been stingy with details about their first album in a decade, but EW did leak one detail from a big interview with the band scheduled to run later this week: Gwen Stefani is done playing pop star. Calling her solo career — which included 2004′s Love. Angel. Music. Baby., 2006′s The Sweet Escape, and two tours in 2005 and 2007 — a “moment in time,” Stefani explained, “It went on a little longer than we all thought it would, because it was inspired and you have to go with wherever you’re at in that time in your life … [But] everything works out how it should.”

Beyonce Debuts Dull Ballad ‘Best Thing I Never Had’
Author: michele
Is it mean to say this sounds like Vanessa Carlton’s “A Thousand Miles” paired with Ryan Tedder’s signature thump beat and some finger-wagging “Irreplaceable”-style girl power? Because that’s how this aggressively un-edgy single sounds. “Sucks to be you right now,” B sings (flawlessly, of course) on the Babyface-written slo-jam. We do not want to hear Beyoncé singing “Sucks to be you right now.” Some folks thought “Run the World (Girls)” was a little too out there, but Beyoncé already countered with sexed-up ballad “1 + 1″ and this is way too generic a sound for a star as unique as Sasha Fierce. Plus, it does not easily lend itself to incredible feats of multimedia awesomeness. Hey also, has Beyoncé mentioned she’s really into girl power?
