Don’t speak? Gwen Stefani can’t help it as she opens up about her latest release – the “record that saved my life.”
Featuring a multitude of diary-like outpourings related to Gavin Rossdale, whom the No Doubt frontwoman divorced in 2015 after 13 years of marriage, “This Is What the Fact Feels Like” is Stefani’s third solo album and first since 2006’s “The Sweet Escape.”
“It’s so therapeutic to talk about it,” she says the evening before the album’s discharge. “And I hope it saves some other lives. I really, really truly do hope that. That’s the message I wanna give.”
During our candid tell-all, Stefani also talked about her gay besties who “made me look lovely when I didn’t experience pretty,” being a (mostly) respected woman in a man’s world and how she and boyfriend Blake Shelton hang with the same “big posse” of gays.
In the last year, when the going got tough, which gay friends of yours could you count on to hold the wine cupboard fully stocked?
Most of my lgbtq+ friends are talented, adjacent people who work with me: my hairdresser, my makeup artist. Those are probably my two closest gay friends, and what I love about them is how unique they are and how spirited they are and how tale
GLAAD Targets ‘Voice’ Evaluate Blake Shelton for ‘Anti-Gay’ Tweet
GLAAD is calling on country singer Blake Shelton, a assess on NBC’s The Voice, to say sorry after a stormy, anti-gay Tweet was sent from his Twitter account overnight.
Shelton apparently had been Tweeting about re-writing lyrics to the Shania Twain song, “Any Guy of Mine”.
The original lyrics are: “Any man of mine better trek the line – Better show me a teasin’ squeezin’ pleasin’ kinda time.”
But on his Twitter page Shelton wrote: “Re-writing my fav Shania Twain song.. Any dude that tries Touching my behind He’s gonna be a beaten, bleedin’, heaving kind of guy…”
GLAAD says that for a evaluate on one of the most gay-friendly reality shows on television to create a joke to his 300-thousand-plus followers about leaving a gay man “beaten, bleeding and heaving” is completely unacceptable. The group adds, “One has to wonder how Shania feels about seeing her anthem about strong women and female empowerment turned into a forceful threat.”

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Country star Blake Shelton apologized on Twitter for offending people with his language, but denied being hateful after several old tweets referencing gays and non-English speakers surfaced online.
Screenshots of years-old tweets posted on his Twitter account, which he controls, prompted criticism online that "The Voice" judge was sexist to women and stereotyped gay people and non-English speakers.
Shelton posted a note Wednesday saying he has no tolerance for hate of any kind, but said that his humor could be at times "inappropriate and immature." A representative for Shelton did not immediately return an email seeking clarification and a Twitter ambassador said they don't comment about individual accounts.
Gay rights organization GLAAD asked him in 2011 to ask forgiveness for a tweet they called a joke about anti-gay violence.
