Stefani shocked to see her name in LaChapelle's hit list

Singer Gwen Stefani was left shocked after learning that she's on the hit list of celebrated photographer/filmmaker David LaChapelle.

According to reports, the coveted photographer, who shot Christina Aguilera's Dirrty video and the promo for Madonna's Hung Up, has expressed his wish to never accept work offers from Stefani, Madonna and Aguilera.

But Stefani admitted that though she knew about LaChapelle's hit list, she had no idea that she was among them.

The singer said that she is positive that this news is just a rumour.

"That's news to me... I've worked with him a lot and I love him... David is so talented and he's such a character and I actually find him very, very attractive as well," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying.

"I'm sure the next time I run into him I'll give him a kiss on each cheek and we'll laugh, because it's probably just rumours," she added.

However, Stefani admitted that LaChapelle could be very difficult to work with.

"He's very temperamental and that's part of his charm. He's hilarious... He's one of the funniest characters I've ever met. We did a photo shoot with him with No Doubt and the temper tantrums were all part of it, it's all part of his art," she said.
