Gwen Stefani‘s children have learned a lot from their fashionable mama — including how to put together the perfect everyday ensemble.

Gwen Stefani is anxious to return to the stage as a solo artist, with her first headlining concert sans No Doubt scheduled at the Orpheum in downtown Los Angeles.

“Well, this morning she's announcing that she is heading back on stage for a solo performance. E!'s Jason Kennedy sat down with her to talk about what she calls her year of surprises.”

From bed in her Los Angeles home, Gwen Stefani insists she doesn’t mind doing her first gay press interview in a decade on her day off. “I love talking about myself,” the No Doubt frontwoman says, giggling.

The No Doubt front woman, now out with her third solo album, looks to her parents for marital wisdom and her inner tween for fashion cues.
