In reply to Gwen Stefani Would Not Sing About Sex with Prostitutes, Suit Claims
I imagine Gwen Stefani sitting at the television, watching someone play as her avatar, hearing Rolling Stones start, seeing her avatar singing in a male's voice, her face stretching aghast as she screams "Nooooooooooo!"

She cries for 20 minutes in the bathroom, her friends asking her what's wrong and thinking they were just going to have a fun party and poke fun at their super-rich and famous friend by making her avatar sing in a funny voice. She wrenches from a fetal position in the tub, "It can't be real! Those aren't my words!"

Somebody in hall quizzically replies, "It doesn't even matter what the lyrics are anyway. If I'm holding the microphone, I can sing whatever I want and your character will lip-sync it."

Stefani yells "YOU CAN'T CONTROL MY WORDS! I AM A WOMAN!" and throws a ceramic Q-tip container at the door, intending to hear a dramatic shatter. Instead, her 3-year-old opens the door and with a thud falls to the ground, Q-tips surrounding his limp body like a chalk outline.

Stefani cradles him in her arms, despite his protesting struggles to get up and just use the toilet.

"DAMN YOU, ACTIVISION!" she screams, party guests glares be damned. "I NEVER SIGNED UP FOR THIS! I NEVER SIGNED UP TO ATTACK MY SON!"

Stefani is now suing Activision for child support. #gwenstefani

Meanwhile Tom Morello has filed a similar suit saying that he is not now, nor ever has been a hollaback girl. #gwenstefani

Since when has Gwen Stefani been anything OTHER than a karaoke circus act? #gwenstefani

And I say this with nothing but love, being a huge No Doubt fan....but if you can't handle being in a video game then you never should have signed on.

Video games are not real life. One of the selling points for these things is to customize the avatars. Dress them in feathers and gauntlets, or a chicken costume just because, and yes, dance and sing karaoke. If you want to produce serious music...go on tour. Shoot a video. Release an album. Don't trust your likeness to Toby the "beer pong master '09" and Rutgers Sophomore. #gwenstefani

1994 No Doubt would so totally kick 2009 No Doubt's ass. Then they'd cry themselves to sleep every night knowing what the future holds in store for them. #gwenstefani

@bens: Yes! Tragic Kingdom Gwen needs to hop in a time machine and come smack some sense into L.A.M.B. Gwen. #gwenstefani

@random_play: <3 them, but needed to agree with you on this one. Old School Gwen would even (easily) kick new preppy Adrian's ass. #gwenstefani

Why would anyone boast about having sex with a prostitute? It's like wearing someone else's clothing... {shudder} #gwenstefani

For once, I'm on the side of the celebrities. Who would want someone appropriating their likeness for other people's work? Why should they be portrayed singing other people's songs? If there was a "Commenter Hero" and we OKed the use of our names, I would expect that DahlELama would be commandeered to overshare about TV-watching habits and throw out a few liveblog nicknames; if someone used it to, I don't know, expound upon the awesomeness of Glenn Beck or say something clever like "Slow news day?" I think I'd be pretty pissed. #gwenstefani

How this fat sweaty hack gets any work is beyond me. Then again, his films in development include "Chick Flick," "Hong Kong Phooey" and "Beverly Hills Cop IV," so I guess if the shoe fits...

I miss Brett Ratner when he had a raging mancrush on 70s studio maverick and legendary whoremongerer Robert Evans. It was oddly sweet.

Erm, Richard, yeah, nothing tops Ratner and Micheal Jackson chair dancing to R. Kelly's Ignition. Sorry, but this is a mindfuck from beyond the grave.
