Gwen Stefani Is How Old? Rossdale, Beckinsale Help Mark Milestone

The big 4-0 never looked better. 

Gwen Stefani celebrated the advent of her fourth decade with friends and family at an intimate Saturday afternoon gathering at Cecconi's in West Hollywood.   

The ab-flaunting singer donned her signature red lipstick as she dined inside the Italian restaurant with hubby Gavin Rossdale, sons Zuma and Kingston, BFF to the stars Kate Beckinsale and the actress's husband, director Len Wiseman

"There wasn't much gift-giving, but they did bring in a large bouquet of red roses, and as they were leaving, they stuffed some Mylar balloons in the backseat," an eyewitness told E! News

"They are such a class act. They were so gracious with all of the photographers, and Gavin was even joking around, waving and taking pictures on his iPhone as they left," says the source. "I think they chose to have the party in the afternoon because the kids were there." 

In spite of the party time, one partygoer was too tired for additional festivities. Little Zuma was spotted snoozing in his car seat next to the birthday girl as the family rode away in their black Range Rover.

Singapore - One of Adrian's Top Five

Singapore was interesting and quite good.  We all got a decent amount of hang time together which was nice.  The evenings were short though with most of us hitting a wall due to jet lag.  After being  
there for 5 days, rehearsals and interviews behind us, showtime finally came.  We got a chance to see Simple Minds and ZZ Top.  Both bands were very cool and great to see on stage.  Our set was exciting!  Maybe it was because we had not played in a month, maybe it was because it was the first time No Doubt had played Asia in 7 years.  Whatever the reason, it was a great release and I personally had a tremendous gig.  It was top 5 for me all year.

Wycliffe "Steely" Johnson 1962-2009

Wycliffe "Steely" Johnson, renowned keyboardist and producer who helped steer Jamaican music for nearly two decades and modernize the dancehall genre, passed away on September 1, 2009.

Johnson, one half of the reggae production team Steely & Clevie, collaborated with No Doubt during recording sessions that took place in Jamaica in 2001.  Together, Steely & Clevie co-produced two tracks for the band, Start The Fire (from the Rock Steady album) and New Friend (from the Everything In Time album).

"We are deeply saddened to hear of Steely's passing.  He was an inspiring force of nature in the studio and we are truly lucky to have been able to work with him.  Our thoughts go out to his family and loved ones." - Tony Kanal
