Gwen helps wildfire victims

Gwen Stefani is taking a detour from entertainment into charity, starting a college-scholarship fund for students affected by this fall's California wildfires. "When I heard about the devastation of the fires, at first I felt I should cancel my [San Diego] show out of respect," Stefani, 38, said in a statement, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune. "But then it occurred to me there might be a more useful solution." That led to the Gwen Stefani After-the-Fires Scholarship, which will benefit students who lost their homes or sources of income in the fires. Details of the fund are still being worked out. Stefani also donated about $160,000 in proceeds from her Oct. 30 concert in San Diego to the San Diego Foundation fire-relief fund. The wildfires raced through Southern California in late October and forced hundreds of thousands from their homes.

Gwen covers up for concert

Gwen Stefani covered up for her performance in Malaysia on Tuesday in response to concerns from Islamic critics that her revealing stage costumes might corrupt the country's youth. Bursting onto the stage in a short-sleeved shirt and black-and-white striped hot pants suit over a black leotard (with black elbow-length gloves), Stefani announced, "I am very inspired tonight." Changing her outfit for every song, the singer's full coverage came as a result of a charge by the 10,000-member National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students that her revealing outfits and cheeky performances clashed with traditional Islamic values. Under Malaysian government rules, a female artist must be covered from shoulder to knee and is prohibited from jumping, shouting or throwing objects onstage or at the audience. Stefani told a local entertainment paper, "I've been in the music industry for 20 years and this is the first time that I'm facing opposition from people who have misunderstood me... I'm not a bad girl."

Gwen to tone down show for Muslims

Gwen Stefani has agreed to respect local customs and not wear revealing costumes for her upcoming concert in Malaysia. After protests from Muslim students about her sexy outfits, the show's producer said Stefani will follow the local code of ethics for foreign artists, which says female artists must cover up from the to top of the chest to the knees including the shoulders. No jumping, shouting, hugging, kissing or throwing of objects on stage or at the audience is allowed. The National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students, which counts 10,000 members, say Stefani's standard show clashes with Islamic values. "Her performance and her attire are not suitable for our culture. It promotes a certain degree of obscenity and will encourage youth to emulate the western lifestyle," said the union's president. "The concert should be stopped." senior official of the country's Culture, Arts and Heritage Ministry said the concert will go on but that enforcement officers would meet with Stefani beforehand to remind her of local guidelines and monitor her show: "There is no problem so far. [The promoter] has told us what clothes she will wear for the concert."

Gwen suing over copycat designs

Gwen Stefani is suing the retail chain Forever 21 for trademark infringement. In papers filed in LA Federal Court, reps for the singer's Harajuku Lovers line claim Forever 21 is marketing, promoting and selling products featuring a design "virtually indistinguishable" from Harajuku's heart/box logo. The clothing chain is alleged to have "changed a couple of words in the Heart/Box Trademark, which are inconspicuous and likely to go unnoticed by a consumer." The Forever 21 designs use the same logo but call their line "Forever Love."
