A spokesperson told America’s New York Daily News newspaper: "We love Gwen and we hope she will be able to join us, as we know her fans would love to see her on this big night - especially since she’s heavily nominated." Gwen is nominated for an impressive six prizes - Video of the Year, Best Pop Video, Best Female Video and Best Choreography in A Video for ’Hollaback Girl’, and Best Art Direction and Best Editing for ’What You Waiting For?’. However, the stunning singer will not be joining the scheduled performers, including Coldplay, Mariah Carey, Green Day, Shakira, Ludacris and Kanye West. The star-studded show will be hosted by P Diddy, who has now changed his name to Diddy, in Miami on August 28.

Gwen could have saved Jennifer’s marriage - Aug 05
Gwen Stefani could have saved Jennifer Aniston’s marriage - because she was lined up for Angelina Jolie’s role in ’Mr and Mrs Smith’. The sexy singer has revealed she had 40 auditions for the action blockbuster - where Angelina met Aniston’s now-estranged husband, Brad Pitt - and came close to winning the role. She said: "I tried out for ’Mr and Mrs Smith’. I did, like, 40 try-outs for that, I met with the director and everything, and I really wanted to do it."

But Gwen was left devastated when she lost out to screen beauty Jolie. She admitted: "I was so upset about it, but it won’t stop me. Movies are a challenge for me, and I do like a challenge." The blonde beauty, who had a cameo role in ’The Aviator’, is currently looking at a Hollywood script written especially for her. She revealed to Britain’s Independent Magazine: "I can’t say much about it, but when the writers came to me with the idea, I was like, ’Oh my God, get me a tissue because I’m salivating!’ "I’ve got so many things going on right now, and it all seems to be coming my way at once."

Biography

Born on October 3 1969 in Orange County, California, Gwen Stefani grew up listening to the Ska and Punk music which was so popular in the So Cal area at the time. It was older brother Eric that really turned Gwen’s musical dreams in to reality, asking her to join a band he had started with friend John Spence, with whom she would share lead vocals. They called themselves No Doubt and invited Tony Kanal to join.

However, in 1987 Spence committed suicide and Gwen was left to take over as the band’s only vocalist, a role which she juggled with college studies and a romance with Kanal. No Doubt gained a solid following in the local area and when Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ Flea recorded a demo for the band it was only a matter of time before they signed a deal.

Although their eponymous debut album and the follow up, The Beacon Street Collection, were seen as something of a failure by their record company, No Doubt’s third try, Tragic Kingdom (recorded without Eric, who had left to become an animator on The Simpsons), became a hit thanks mostly to stand out single Don’t Speak It was at this time that the rest of the band were pushed to the sidelines as the press and public focused increasingly on Gwen who, having split with Tony, was romantically linked with Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale.

Two more albums followed the success of Tragic Kingdom – Return of Saturn and Rock Steady – but it was Gwen the world was interested in as she dueted with rapper Eve, featured on Moby’s Southside and married Gavin in a 2002 ceremony in London. While No Doubt took a break Gwen hooked up with writer Linda Perry and a house-full of collaborators for her debut solo album Love Angel Music Baby, which sold millions on the strength of the fantastic What You Waiting For?

While Gwen’s professional life was on the up – she launched L.A.M.B, her own clothing range and appeared in Martin Scorcese’s The Aviator as silver screen icon Jean Harlow – her personal life seemed to be taking a turn for the worse when it was revealed that her husband had a secret lovechild with tabloid favourite Pearl Lowe (she of the Sadie/Jude wife swapping revelations). However Gwen has vowed to stand by her man and is even talking of starting a family of her own…we just hope parenthood doesn’t stop her wearing those fantastic fairytale outfits in public.
