Hey all! Have you seen the new photo and intro on nodoubt.com (http://www.nodoubt.com)?! I smell a tour coming!!!!

Thanks to Jordan for letting me know about this:

Tom recently posted on the ND forum.

Hey what's up folks!
Everything is good here. Just got back from Cabo, the blogs said we were in Hawaii, but we were all in Cabo together.
Funny how that happens:) Even one blog mistook Rio for Zuma, but they're so close in age…
The family is good, life is good. How about you guys, are you well?
Tom

There are great things happening, I can't talk about them yet, but I am excited about 2009.
It's excellent making music together again. We're on a break now through the holidays, taking care of our growing families.
Crazy that there are 5 boys in the ND brood! Anyway, gotta go, hope to see you all sooner than later.
Tom

Yay!!!!!!

From contactmusic.com (http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/article/no%20doubt%20stars%20join%20weiland%20on%20solo%20album_1079190):

NO DOUBT stars TONY KANAL, ADRIAN YOUNG and TOM DUMONT have found a new leader – former VELVET REVOLVER frontman SCOTT WEILAND.
As No Doubt singer Gwen Stefani concentrates on motherhood, her
fashions and her own music career, her bandmates have hit the studio
with Weiland to help the rocker record a second solo album.
Weiland's new album, Happy, will hit record stores and the Internet in November (08) on his own Softdrive label.
The rock star is currently fronting the Stone Temple Pilots reunion tour.

Gwen gave birth to her second son, Zuma Nesta Rock yesterday, and all is well. Congratulations G+G!

Hello!

I was asked to write about a new site called Poll The People (http://www.pollthepeople.com/). Here is some of the text of an e-mail I received:

We have recently helped launched a website to invite the public to vote
for their Top 5 albums (films and books) in an evolving poll to find
the Greatest Albums etc of all time – www.pollthepeople.com (http://www.pollthepeople.com/)
. The site was borne out of frustration at the number of TV and press
polls based on very little research or the opinions of a few
journalists. So now we want to give the people a chance to have their
say and vote for their favourite albums (films and books) to create a
truly definitive global poll. The site was founded by Glenn Cooper
previously the Head of Digital @ Island Records UK for 6 years who left
his role to focus on this venture with his wife Kirsty Cooper who has
over 10 years music marketing and PR experience.

Please could you put a news story up on your Site and Forum to let No
Doubt fans know about the site so they can vote and have their say? We
have had over 3,700 people sign up and vote in the first month from
over 100 different countries and we are already working on a TV show
format and a “Poll The People top rated” retail sticker initiative. In
addition we have had features in The Times and The Guardian as well as
trade press so we have had a great start. The early visitors to the
site have been very pop biased and it’s important to us that we reach
out to fans of all great artists / bands so the poll becomes truly
definitive
.

Obviously, I would suggest that you go and add your vote for No Doubt, but you can vote for whomever you wish. ;)

Also, you may have noticed that any comments you recently left aren't showing up. That's because apparently the spammers have tweaked their lovely bots to work with the software running this site, so I'm getting a bunch of spam comments each day to wade through. I have it set up so that all comments have to be approved by me before they appear on the site, but it's often such a pain to try and pick the one real comment out of the 20 spam comments so I haven't taken the time to sort them. Sorry…… This will be fixed shortly. :D

Hi all. I just got the new issue of Entertainment Weekly in the mail
today, and there's a little blurb about Universal/Interscope that's
kinda interesting:

Music by Shirley Halperin
Release the Sounds

Universal's
record labels (which include Interscope-Geffen-A M Records) might
be looking to stack the fourth-quarter decks. Sources say the music
industry's market-share leader is preparing a fall slate that is likely
to include new albums from marquee names like U2, Black Eyed Peas, No Doubt, Pussycat Dolls, and Keane…………
A
label rep couldn't confirm any street dates, but if most-or all-of the
albums get preholiday releases, Universal will likely end the year with
full domination of both the charts and the ailing U.S. music market.

Hi all!

A new article on MTV.com (http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1584561/20080401/stefani_gwen.jhtml?rsspartner=rssYahooNewscrawler) states that the next No Doubt album and tour will happen in 2009. :

Manager Jim Guerinot said the yet-untitled album, which is being
produced by Mark Spike Stent (Björk, U2, Britney Spears), is penciled
in for the first half of 2009. Between the babies and recording, No
Doubt are not expected to do any touring in 2008, but, Guerinot
promised, they plan to hit the road hard in 2009 for their first
full-fledged band tour in nearly five years.

Of course, I was hoping for a little sooner, but the first half of next year isn't so far away relatively speaking!

According to UK Vogue (http://www.vogue.co.uk/vogue_daily/story/story.asp?stid=51837), there will be a Harajuku Lovers line of fragrances released this fall, with a different scent for each girl! I didn't think this project would actually come to life, Stefani confesses.
The idea that Coty would let me do five different fragrances for Harajuku
Lovers was a fantasy. But it really had to be five, because that's what the
world is. Each girl has her own personality and sense of style. We're all saying
something different with unique personalities.

To fit with the
branding, each scent is tailored to each girl's personality and traits. And
Stefani – who is expecting her second child with husband Gavin Rossdale later
this year – doesn't want her beauty empire to stop there.
