Gwen Stefani: 'I said, 'My God, I?m Japanese and I didn't know it.' I am, you know.'

Gwen Stefani: 'I said, 'My God, I?m Japanese and I didn't know it.'  I am, you know.'
Gwen Stefani is a cool woman who is loved and adored by millions of people for her music, her style, her vibe. But Gwen has also been a problematic figure for many people, first with her appropriation of Latinx culture, then with her appropriation of Japanese culture, and currently with her appropriation of Republican culture (lol). It?s the Asian appropriation which is still a huge issue today, I think because people continue to look back on that era Gwen?s Harajuku era and cringe. Gwen really paid four Japanese women to stand around her at all times and be silent. She really appropriated and marketed a Japanese subculture to white America. So, Gwen is currently promoting her makeup line (GXVE) and Allure?s Jesa Marie Calaor interviewed Gwen at a recent GXVE event. The interview turned out bonkers, because Gwen repeatedly claimed to be Japanese.

Gwen on her Japanese influences: That was my Japanese influence and that was a culture that was so rich with tradition, yet so futuristic [with] so much attention to art and detail and discipline and it was fascinating to me, she said, explaining how her father (who is Italian American) would return with stories of street performers cosplaying as Elvis and stylish women with colorful hair. Then, as an adult, she was able to travel to Harajuku to see them herself. I said, My God, Im Japanese and I didnt know it.' As those words seemed to hang in the air between us, she continued, I am, you know. She then explained that there is innocence to her relationship with Japanese culture, referring to herself as a super fan.

Don?t criticize her for being a fan: If [people are] going to criticize me for being a fan of something beautiful and sharing that, then I just think that doesnt feel right. I think it was a beautiful time of creativity? a time of the ping-pong match between Harajuku culture and American culture. She elaborated further: [It] should be okay to be inspired by other cultures because if were not allowed then thats dividing people, right?

Did Gwen Stefani really refer to herself as Japanese several times? Calaor writes: I spent 32 minutes in conversation with Stefani, many of them devoted to her lengthy answer to my question about Harajuku Lovers. In that time, she said more than once that she is Japanese. Allure?s social media associate (who is Asian and Latina) was also present for the interview and we were left questioning what we had heard. Maybe she misspoke? Again and again? During our interview, Stefani asserted twice that she was Japanese and once that she was a little bit of an Orange County girl, a little bit of a Japanese girl, a little bit of an English girl. Surely, she didn?t mean it literally or she didn?t know what she was saying? (A representative for Stefani reached out the next day, indicating that I had misunderstood what Stefani was trying to convey. Allure later asked Stefani?s team for an on-the-record comment or clarification of these remarks and they declined to provide a statement or participate in a follow-up interview.)

[From Allure]

What I find remarkable is that Gwen Stefani hasn?t figured out a better way to speak about her love of Japanese culture without sounding like an appropriating ahole. Like, I think it?s cool that Gwen loves Japan and that she wanted to bring some fun Japanese subculture to America. Figure out a way to do it and talk about it without claiming to be Japanese or shrugging off the very real issues your fascination with/fetishization of Japan has brought to the table. This is not some new conversation either. Literally, at the time in 2008, there were prominent Asian celebrities and scholars saying that Stefani?s Harajuku act was deeply uncomfortable if not fully racist. The conversations about appropriation have only grown from there, and with Stefani specifically, it?s not limited to her Asian appropriation. You can?t just wander around, claiming to be Japanese!!

Gwen Stefani's beauty rule: 'Overdrawing of the lips works. It's real.'

Gwen Stefani's beauty rule: 'Overdrawing of the lips works. It's real.'
Did you know that Gwen Stefani has a makeup label? That would have been groundbreaking 15-20 years ago, when she was known for loving makeup and before every single celebrity had their own makeup line. Gwen?s line is called GXVE and it?s sold exclusively at Sephora. The line debuted in March and the first lipstick sold out in a couple of weeks. Gwen chatted with Glamour about the line, the beauty tips she?s accumulated over the years, the tips she?s picked up from YouTubers and IG influencers and a lot more. This is a pretty light, fun, girly interview. Some highlights:

The oversaturated celebrity-makeup market: ?People warned me [about creating a beauty line], but I didn?t care. I knew that the one thing that would make it different was this is something that?s so real and authentic to who I?ve always been since I was a little girl. I feel like I?m definitely doing what I was meant to do.?

One her first jobs was as a fake makeup artist at a department store: ?I was a fake makeup artist in the sense that they never trained me and I didn?t ever report to anybody. I found magic in the makeup. It?s not even about how people look; it?s how they feel. Once that makeup goes on, the confidence that comes with it is what stayed with me.?

Living her purpose: ?I?ve always tried to just live my purpose, but even more now that I?m more mature and more aware of my faith and gone through so many things that forced me to say, ?Okay, I don?t care about anything else. I just want to do what my purpose is.??

She loves the makeup influencers: ?[GXVE] was almost like my backup plan in life that I?m getting to do now, but I get to kind of do both [as a singer and creator], which is so great. And also be part of this influencer movement that?s happening, where we share our secrets and our tricks and learn from each other. It?s a super beautiful community.?

How much time it takes her to do a perfect red lip: ?I could do a perfect red lip in less than a minute. In fact, I never worked with a makeup artist my entire career, really, other than one here or one there. I had a bad experience when I was doing [an early] No Doubt record. This guy came and did my makeup for the artwork and I remember thinking I looked ugly. I was like, ?I look prettier when I do my makeup,? but I was too scared to say something. I still look at those pictures and I?m like, ?Ugh.? After that I took it into my own control.

What beauty rule is bullsh-t: ?There?s a lot of product out there that is B.S. I see some girls trying to sell all these layers of things that you need to put on before you put on makeup. And some of it?s right, and some of it?s not.

What beauty rule is completely accurate: ?Overdrawing of the lips works. It?s real. I did it one time when I first learned it, and my kids were calling me out, like, ?What did you do to your lips?? They?re teenagers, so they know what?s going on. I was like, ?No, I swear. Let me take it off and I?ll show you. This is overdrawn right here. And when you overdraw the top lip like that, you just get this really pouty [look].? You see people hacking it all the time and it works.

A beauty trick she recently learned: ?I just started doing this thanks to a makeup artist, which is sometimes doing your eyebrows first before you put foundation on. It?s a really great way to start because your eyebrows frame your face. So depending on if you want to highlight them or not, that?s something that has helped me a lot.

[From Glamour]

The thing is, with so many of the celebrity women going their own makeup or skincare lines, I often get the feeling that they don?t actually know much about the industries they?re barging into. They think they can just coast in, use their name and somehow they?ll have a hit line. To me, someone like Gwen has credibility though she has been wearing makeup for 30-plus years, she knows how to do her own makeup, she?s known for her makeup, and clearly, she loves watching beauty influencers and TikTokers and YouTubers. You can tell that she really sits there and watches the videos and picks up hacks and tricks. Anyway, I would feel like a clown if I tried to overdraw my lips but I?ll take Gwen?s word for it.

Blake Shelton on people saying he's a lazy deadbeat husband: 'The truth is, I am'

Blake Shelton on people saying he's a lazy deadbeat husband: 'The truth is, I am'
Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani got married in Oklahoma back in July. By all accounts, Gwen organized and planned everything and Blake was very happy to let her do her own thing. The wedding photos made everything look a lot nicer than I expected Gwen?s Vera Wang dresses were pretty but not over-the-top. There was tons of food. Kids and dogs were included. Golf carts were utilized. Blake appeared on The Ellen Show this week and he?s still got that newlywed glow, honestly. I?m left with the impression that he?s happy as can be with Gwen, and he talked a lot about their wedding and how great it was:

On Gwen planning the wedding: At one point, I was saying in an interview, Were letting Gwen do whatever she wants for the wedding. And then some writer wrote, Well, oh, look, hes already a lazy deadbeat husband.? But the truth is: I am. What do I know about that stuff? Of course it was her and her vision. And all I had to do was drink and kiss Gwen Stefani, I mean, my God. The greatest gig Ive ever had.

Their wedding had less than 20 guests. Thats exactly what it needed to be.?

He?s been buying her lots of Christmas gifts: He said he tells her not to get him anything, but there ends up being a pile of crap this tall of gifts. Literally today I got on the phone with the internet company because they thought there was credit card fraud because I kept going back to this website buying her more stuff. Im getting her a bunch of stuff. I dont know that shes going to like any of it but its going to look good in the wrapping paper, you know?

Gwen?s wedding vows: The thing that got to me was she spoke about my [late] brother and my dad as if she had known them almost. She didnt make it seem that way, but it felt that way as she was speaking about them. She said she wished they were there and what kind of men she thinks they mustve been. Man, it hit me. Like, I couldnt believe how hard it hit me. I felt like at this point, Ive kind of gotten calloused. I guess Im not because that absolutely slayed me. Its hard to even remember what else she even said. Ill never forget that feeling.

[From People]

The quote about Gwen?s vows is actually from a People interview he did about a month ago, I just hadn?t seen that quote before now, that?s why I included it. If you watch the video (below), you can see how happy Blake seems. He really adores Gwen and he seems so proud of her and being married to her.

He also jokes about not inviting his work-wife, Adam Levine, to his wedding because Adam told Ellen that he doesn?t support Gwen and Blake?s marriage, because Gwen is cool and Blake isn?t.

Gwen Stefani wore two custom Vera Wang gowns at her Oklahoma wedding
As we discussed, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton got married over the holiday weekend. We knew that on Sunday/Monday, and then Monday evening, Gwen dropped some photos from her Oklahoma wedding! She looks so happy and so does Blake. I think and hope this one sticks for both of them. He was happy because they did it all on his big Oklahoma spread, and he even built a chapel on the property. She was happy because she got to plan her wedding just the way she wanted it, a classy/ranch affair with good food and their friends and families. Gwen?s wedding gown and reception dress were both Vera Wang:

Vera Wang made the two custom wedding dresses Gwen Stefani wore on her big day! Wang, 72, known for her signature bridal gowns, incorporated Stefanis edgy personality into the garments.

The first, which Stefani wore while saying her I dos to Blake Shelton, was a custom lily white silk georgette gown with a sweetheart plunging neckline, cut away back, fitted bodice and high low hand tumbled tulle skirt.

She kept her hair simple for her big day, pulling her long blonde locks back under her white chapel length veil, which featured the hand embroidered names of Stefani, Shelton, and Stefanis sons, Kingston James McGregor, 15, Zuma Nesta Rock, 12, and Apollo Bowie Flynn, 7.

A source previously told PEOPLE the boys would have a large part in Stefani and Sheltons ceremony. They were a part of Stefanis reception dress, too. A pair of hand sewn love birds symbolizing the couple highlighted hand pieced silk, crystal and sequin embroidered foliage around the waist and onto the skirt of the custom lily white Italian silk crepe and hand tumbled tulle strapless mini. Three baby love birds representing Stefanis children were also on the ensemble.

Stefani paired the look with sky-high stiletto white cowboy boots by Le Silla and a shorter veil adorned with floral appliqus and a white bow. She accessorized with gold bangle bracelets, sparkling earrings, and a cross necklace.

[From People]

The dresses were very ?Gwen.? I even enjoy her reception look with the cowboy boots. It looks like Blake got to drive the ?just married? golf cart to the reception too. Judging from the aerial photos of Blake?s property, I think they set up tents (high-class tents) for the reception and party. I hope everyone was vaccinated and they had a great time. Oh, and the cake the cake is big and fun. Oh, and Carson Daly officiated the wedding! Because of The Voice. But Adam Levine wasn?t there!!

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton got married this weekend on his Oklahoma ranch
I?m choosing to be really happy for Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton. At the end of the day, they make sense together, they clearly adore each other, and he loves the hell out of her three kids. Blake finally proposed to Gwen last October, and then earlier this year, her first marriage was annulled by the Catholic Church. Everything was lining up for Gwen and Blake, and they decided to have a wedding at his Oklahoma ranch. He had a chapel built on the property years ago, and that was where he proposed to Gwen too. Page Six had aerial photos of the wedding go here to see. There?s no confirmation on whether Blake got his wedding meal of chicken fingers and french fries.

There is no doubt this time that Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have tied the knot. The couple officially got hitched on Saturday, less than a month after the No Doubt singer sparked wedding rumors by wearing a diamond band on her left hand. The ceremony took place at Shelton?s Oklahoma ranch, where sources previously said he built a chapel with the intention of marrying Stefani there.

Stefani, 51, and Shelton, 45, began dating in 2015 after meeting as coaches on NBC?s ?The Voice.? At the time, the rocker and country superstar were both newly divorced.

The couple announced their engagement in October 2020. Shelton quietly proposed to the ?Rich Girl? singer with a huge, six- to nine-carat round solitaire diamond set on what appeared to be a platinum band.

[From Page Six]

I hope Gwen tells us some wedding details this week Blake made it sound like she was having a lot of fun planning the wedding, and I can?t wait to see her dress, and the cake and everything else. I?m assuming the second wedding dress wasn?t John Galliano. Maybe Ralph Lauren with a flannel shirt?

PS? On Father?s Day, Gwen literally didn?t say one word about Gavin Rossdale and she posted this about Blake.

Blake Shelton kind of wants french fries & chicken tenders at his wedding
Blake Shelton proposed to Gwen Stefani last October. I sort of forgot about their engagement, and I forgot that they hadn?t actually gotten married yet. Before the proposal, Gwen seemed to be in a bad mood over the fact that he was so gun-shy about getting married, but now everything is fine. She?s apparently planning a big wedding now that people can travel and people are getting vaccinated. Blake spoke about the wedding plans and why he?s letting Gwen do all of the planning.

Will Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani have a country-fried wedding? They will if it is up to Shelton ? which it isnt.

If I was picking our meal, it would just literally be everything fried, he tells USA TODAY. French fries, chicken tenders, you know, all of that stuff. I think she knows that it would be a pretty classless wedding if I was in control.

Shelton is happy to relinquish planning duties to the Hollaback Girl singer, all the way down to his wardrobe.

I never pick my own clothes unless Im doing one of these FaceTime calls with you and I put on a cap and shirt, he said. But she picks my clothes for things like ? something formal with the family. I never even pick my clothes for The Voice. I have a girl that does that for me. So, nobody lets me pick clothes. Thats not a Gwen wedding thing. Thats just in general.

In reality, it means Stefani has more time to enjoy the process ? a fact about which Shelton couldnt be happier. Hes sure shes pretty pleased, too.

I want her to do all of that stuff and handle it because its going to be great, Shelton said. Shes in the middle of planning the thing, and shes always so mindful ? of me. Shes like, Hey, I dont want to just take this thing over. I think shes having a blast doing it. I mean, I know shes having a blast doing it.

[From USA Today]

On one side, Blake irritates me with his whole ?I?m just a dumb redneck, I don?t know nothing about fancy clothes and weddin? plannin?? shtick. On the other side, I do think it?s kind of nice that he gave Gwen a special gift: planning the wedding to her tastes completely. Plus, I bet Gwen does a lot to make it Blake-specific. As for the thing about how he doesn?t pick out his own clothes I mean, some men don?t care. Some men think they need women to do that for them. I?m kind of with him on the wedding food though. Who says they can?t have chicken tenders and french fries at their wedding? Why in the world would you want to NOT have french fries at your wedding?

Gwen Stefani's first marriage was officially annulled by the Catholic Church

Gwen Stefani's first marriage was officially annulled by the Catholic Church
For a few years before Blake Shelton proposed, Gwen Stefani was dropping hints in her interviews about how much she wanted to get married, but she only wanted to get married to Blake if she could get her first marriage annulled. That confused the hell out of me Gwen and Gavin Rossdale were married for fourteen years and their marriage produced three children. How and why would the Catholic Church annul the marriage? Well, Blake ended up proposing to Gwen late last year, and of course she said yes. It was believed and widely reported that Gwen was prepared to marry Blake without getting an annulment, because the whole thing was moving at such a glacial pace. But look:

Fresh start! Gwen Stefani?s annulment from ex-husband Gavin Rossdale was ?finally granted? by the Catholic church, a source exclusively tells Us Weekly.

?Gwen was told the decision was made by the Vatican tribunal,? the insider says five years after the pair called it quits in August 2015. ?She will be receiving the notification in writing in the next few weeks, but it?s official.?

?It was a huge relief for Gwen because she wanted to get married by her priest and have the marriage recognized by the Catholic church,? the source says.

[From Us Weekly]

Again, I don?t know a lot about Catholicism and all of that, but is that really what happens? You just get a piece of paper saying ?that bitch got annulled?? I just thought it would be something in person, like a priest waving an incense stick over your body to purge the first marriage out of your body, something like that. Anyway, now Gwen and Blake have zero roadblocks. I bet they just do something small in Oklahoma, on his ranch, probably. A small pandemic wedding.

Meanwhile, Gwen was on the Tonight Show last week, and all she wanted to talk about was the engagement and how she was kind of mad that Blake waited so long to propose. She really is That Girl.

Blake Shelton doesn't have any idea what it's like for people living on minimum wage

Blake Shelton doesn't have any idea what it's like for people living on minimum wage
Blake Shelton has somehow been able to maintain his ?brand? as a Good Ol? Boy Oklahoma redneck despite the fact that he spends at least half of every year in LA, filming The Voice and living with his rock-star fiancee Gwen Stefani. I?m surrounded by rednecks and good ol? boys where I live in Virginia, and Blake really has it down. I don?t doubt that he plays up his accent and his whole Oklahoma shtick, but it?s based on who Blake is or was originally. But maybe LA has changed him. Maybe he?s no longer in touch with those Oklahoma roots. Blake has a new song and one of the lyrics involves the minimum wage and people are MAD.

Blake Shelton is facing backlash for debuting a song titled ?Minimum Wage? while people in America continue to struggle amid the coronavirus pandemic. ?The Voice? coach debuted the new single on NBC?s New Year?s Eve television special alongside Carson Daly to help ring in 2021. The country singer told the host that his fiancee, Gwen Stefani, helped get her brother, Todd, to direct the video.

The artist?s new song has to do with his love for the 51-year-old ?Hollaback Girl? singer and contains a lyric in the chorus that upset many people who saw the broadcast.

?Girl, your love can make a man feel rich on minimum wage.?

Given the fact that the coronavirus pandemic has caused many businesses to shut down and put countless Americans out of work, people were quick to take to Twitter to lambaste the singer for releasing a song they believed was ?tone deaf? given the current climate.

?The irony of listening to a millionaire Blake Shelton singing about ?love on minimum wage? at the end of 2020 might be lost on its target audience,? one user wrote.

?I love his music but the timing for Minimum Wage isn?t great. With so many people out of work and struggling the song feels a little tone deaf. I?d like to hear songs that are more personal. Wish he wrote more of his own stuff because he?s an incredible song writer,? another wrote in a tweet that was unavailable as of Sunday.

Someone else agreed, writing: ?Does anyone else find Blake Shelton?s ?Minimum Wage? song to be incredibly tone deaf to our country?s current state??

The song has not yet been fully released and Shelton has yet to publicly comment on the backlash on social media.

[From Page Six]

I think it?s just a bad lyric? I mean, it?s out of touch and all of that, completely. But surely there was an easier way to write a lyric with the sentiment of ?you make me feel rich? or ?money doesn?t matter when I?m with you.? I don?t know. It?s so weird, the branding of country music demands that rich country stars play-act down-home redneck vibes and performative poverty, and Blake basically accidentally revealed that he has no idea what life is like for someone trying to live on minimum wage.

Gwen Stefani & Blake Shelton will get married soon, likely in his Oklahoma chapel
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton became engaged in October, after Blake proposed at his Oklahoma ranch, where they have spent much of this year. Gwen and her sons love the Oklahoma vibes, and I?ve read dozens of stories about how Gwen ?fits in? with Blake?s whole ?country dude? vibe. Anyway, for some reason, we?re getting tons of updates about their wedding plans. From Us Weekly:

?Blake built a chapel on the grounds of his Oklahoma ranch. He did it himself with help,? a source tells Us Weekly exclusively, noting that the No Doubt singer gave her ?input? on the construction. ?It?s really a tribute to their love. They are going to get married in the chapel, most likely early next year.?

As she gets ready to wed the Grammy nominee, Stefani is hopeful that she?ll be able to do so in a way that will be recognized by the church. ?The Vatican has also indicated, informally, that Gwen?s petition to have her marriage to Gavin annulled will also be granted,? the first source says. ?It hasn?t been formally made yet, but all indications are [that] Gwen will have her Catholic wedding to Blake.?

One month before their engagement, Shelton and Stefani moved into a ?family home? in Los Angeles. While continuing to map out their future together, the twosome has taken every detail into account ? including a prenuptial agreement. ?They have been in prenup talks for a few months,? an insider told Us exclusively in November. ?The process has been extremely effortless.?

[From Us Weekly]

I wondered about the annulment and whether Gwen was still pursuing it. We heard, months ago, that Gwen no longer cared if her first marriage was annulled, but I guess she does care. I still think that?s a bit weird, to annul a marriage which produced three kids, but whatever. It?s her life, and she obviously cares a lot about that. My guess is that Gwen and Blake will do a very small wedding in that chapel in Oklahoma, and then maybe do a big church wedding whenever the annulment happens. People Mag also said that they?re looking to get married fast:

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani are ready to say I do. Less than two months after the country star, 44, and the No Doubt singer, 51, got engaged at Sheltons ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma, a source tells PEOPLE that the couple is likely to tie the knot sooner rather than later.

This wont be a long engagement, says the source. There is a reason why Blake proposed now. They are both ready to get married.

The source also says that The Voice coaches dont want a huge wedding. They want their family and close friends to attend and thats it.

[From People]

Well, if they get married while the pandemic?s still raging, then they probably won?t even get to have their family and close friends attend, you know? I suspect that they?ll probably do a New Year?s Eve wedding, right? That?s what we?re building up to: a wedding over the holidays.

Blake Shelton went to Gwen Stefani's dad & sons to ask 'permission' to marry her

Blake Shelton went to Gwen Stefani's dad & sons to ask 'permission' to marry her
Blake Shelton recently proposed to Gwen Stefani, and they announced it last week in a nice social media post. Blake had a 6-carat custom diamond engagement ring made for Gwen, and he actually got down on one knee at his Oklahoma ranch, where he and Gwen spend much of their time. Reportedly, Blake also spoke to Gwen?s father before he proposed Us Weekly said that Blake ?asked permission from her dad before asking Gwen,? but I bet it was more like he asked for her father?s blessing, not permission? But it was just the kind of ?traditional? touch that Gwen loves. As it turns out, Blake also sought the blessing/permission of Gwen?s three sons.

Before Blake Shelton got down on one knee at his Tishomingo, Oklahoma, ranch to propose to longtime love Gwen Stefani last month, he made sure to first get approval from three very important people: her sons Kingston, 14, Zuma, 12, and Apollo, 6.

Blake told her boys that he wanted to propose and asked their permission, a source close to Stefani tells PEOPLE in this weeks issue, on newsstands Friday. Her family very much approves of him. Hes an amazing partner and a great extra dad to the boys. Gwen is ecstatic. The proposal was a surprise.

[From People]

I?ve said this many times, but I?m genuinely moved by how much Blake loves his de facto step-sons. It felt like as soon as Blake and Gwen got together, one of the biggest appeals of the relationship for Blake was that he got to have a hand in helping her raise those boys. He adores them, and they seem to adore him too (which I?m sure upsets Gavin Rossdale). All of that to say, it makes perfect sense to me that Blake would have spoken to the kids about proposing to Gwen and asked them if they were okay with it. I bet they were enthusiastic about it. BUT I still hate the language of seeking permission between men/boys to marry a woman. Ugh.
