Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani is good people.

The singer has become the latest celebrity - following Sandra Bullock, Demi Lovato and others - to donate a large chunk of change to those affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan.

She has given $1 million to the Save the Children’s Japan Earthquake-Tsunami Children in Emergency Fund.

Says the artist: “I’ve been inspired by Japan for many years and have a true love, appreciation and respect for the Japanese people and their culture. The disaster in Japan is beyond heartbreaking and I want to do anything I can to help. I would never be able to make a gesture like this without the love and support of all the fans over all these years.”

Earlier this month, some of the biggest stars in the universe came out for a special that paid homage to Paul McCartney, Oprah Winfrey and Merle Haggard and aired last night.

Among the attendees at the Kennedy Center Honors were Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama and Glee star Matthew Morrison. Artists such as Gwen Stefani, Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson, Jennifer Hudson and Steven Tyler performed renditions of various classics on stage.

We've posted a trio of videos from the event. Check them out now:

As she deals with rumors of her husband's infidelity, Gwen Stefani smiled on the red carpet with Gavin Rossdale last night.

The singer looked beautiful, especially compared to Alexa Chung. No offense to that TV host and personality, but simply put: what the heck was she thinking at the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Costume Institute Gala?!?

Was this the worst fashion disaster at the event? Kristen Stewart might have something to say about it. Take a look at what that actress wore to the benefit. YIKES!

Who looked better on the red carpet?

It might not get any more adorable than this.

Dropping their celebrity status and picking up their children, Christina Aguilera and Gwen Stefani acted like any other mothers in America on Saturday night, dressing up and taking their kids trick-or-treating.

Stefani is seen below with husband Gavin Rossdale and children Zuma and Kingston; Aguilera, meanwhile, is matching son Max with her skeleton costume.

We don't wish to pit such cute, caring moms against one another; but, as a nationally-read celebrity gossip blog, we're contractually obligated to do so...

Who looked cuter on Halloween?

Gwen Stefani is the coolest chick alive.

Whether she's rocking out as part of a faux '80s band on Gossip Girl, debuting the trendiest fashions, looking far too good to be 39 years old or just hangin' with her husband and young sons, the No Doubt singer is always a breath of fresh air.

Here's Gwen Stefani arriving at L.A.'s LAX airport this morning, in an outfit only she could pull off, with hyper Kingston, 2, and sleepy Zuma, 9 months.

All together now: Awww ...

BABY CRAZY: With two sons in the past three years, will Gwen and Gavin Rossdale aim for a third? It's hard to argue against expanding this level of cuteness.

Today is Christmas, but for many of the stars we know and love, the best present ever came earlier this year. We are talking, of course, about celebrity babies!

Here's a delightful photo sure to put you in the holiday spirit. Check out this poignant moment with Jessica Alba, Cash Warren and their daughter, Honor ...

Jessica and Cash are just two of the new parents of 2008, of course.

Jamie Lynn Spears became America's hottest unwed teen mom when she welcomed little Maddie Briann (below, left). Bristol Palin may compete for that title, but hasn't given birth quite yet - though Sarah Palin welcomed baby Trig in April!

Elsewhere, Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves pooled their remarkable genes and created Levi, while many big stars, such as Christina Aguilera, Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, Nicole Richie and Nicole Kidman, became first-time mothers.

Nothing like a little celebrity baby news to start the day! Gwen Stefani and eldest son Kingston Rossdale, a.k.a. the Coolest Chick Alive and Cutest Celebrity Baby Alive, goofed around after grabbing a bite at La Bread in Los Feliz, Calif...

While son Kingston feels up Ruby Maguire, Gwen Stefani is showing off two-month old Zuma to the world.

The pair visited a library in Beverly Hills yesterday.

Zuma's dad, rocker Gavin Rossdale, describes the baby as "amazing" and "very sweet," adding:

"He hangs out. He's got his neck together. He's gone through with the floppy stage."

In just 24 short years on this planet, Ashlee Simpson has had her father purchase a singing career for her, had some bad plastic surgery, become a celebrity gossip mainstay, then gotten knocked up by and hitched to Pete Wentz. Not a bad life!

Here's a little photo tribute to Ashlee on her birthday today. Click to enlarge ...

She's not the only star turning another year wiser (she can only go up) today. Oh no. Other celebrity birthdays include someone even more worthless, Brandon Davis (a.k.a. Greasy Bear), as well as the coolest chick alive, Gwen Stefani! Pics below ...

In her new, pathetic reality show, Paris Hilton is searching for a new best friend.

This useless socialite won't find it, however, if she keeps ganking outfits from other, more fashionable celebrities.

In the match-up below, Hilton and Gwen Stefani are wearing the same Diane von Furstenberg dress. Study them carefully and let us know:

Who looks better?
