Japan Fan

[edited version]

"I think I was supposed to be Japanese," said Gwen Stefani with a giggle at an event Monday for her new fragrance collection, Harajuku Lovers, with Coty Prestige. "The first time I was there, with No Doubt in 1995, I felt like I was meant to be there." The scents, due in September, aren't the only thing Stefani's gestating at the moment - her second child with husband Gavin Rossdale is due "during New York Fashion Week in September," she said. "I'd like to do a [runway] show but I'll probably be on the delivery table instead."

And while Stefani is teaming with her band, No Doubt, on a new release, she does admit that "it's not going very well." "When I'm pregnant, I feel like I just need to sleep and eat," she said with a laugh. "I'm useless. I go in and watch the guys play the guitars."
