Why don't you check out her official site.\n\nHere's what Wikipedia says:\n\nBiography\n[edit]\nBeginnings\nGwen Stefani was born in Anaheim, California. Her father, Denis Stefani, is Italian American, and her mother Patti Flynn is of Irish and Scottish descent. She has a sister, Jill, and two brothers, Eric and Todd. Jill appeared in No Doubt's "Just A Girl" music video. Stefani attended California State University, Fullerton, and Loara High School (class of 1987), where she was on the swim team. Her first job was scrubbing floors at a Dairy Queen, and she once worked at a department store. Her brother Eric was the keyboardist for No Doubt, but eventually left the band to pursue a career in animation on The Simpsons. Other members of the group include Tony Kanal (with whom Stefani had a seven year relationship), Tom Dumont, and drummer Adrian Young.\n\n \nStefani on the cover of No Doubt's Tragic Kingdom, 1995The band's third album, following their eponymous debut No Doubt (1992) and The Beacon Street Collection (1995), Tragic Kingdom, took three years to make. During this time, the band almost split up due to the break up of Tony and Gwen. However, this was to become a major inspiration for Gwen lyrically. The album was released in 1995 and spawned several hits, beginning with "Just a Girl". Following the success of Tragic Kingdom, Stefani became highly popular and recognizable. The tension this produced with the other members of the band was touched upon in their video for the song "Don't Speak". Many of the album's songs, including "Don't Speak" and "Excuse Me Mr." were inspired by Stefani's relationship and breakup with fellow band member Tony Kanal.\n\nStefani met Bush frontman Gavin Rossdale in 1995 at a concert in which she was performing to promote Tragic Kingdom. The release of The Singles 1992-2003, a CD with the band's best hits, and Everything in Time: B-sides, Remixes and Rarities prompted media speculation about a break-up, which the band denied in later interviews.\n\nOutside of No Doubt Stefani has collaborated with other artists, most notably for the singles "Southside" and "Let Me Blow Ya Mind" with Moby and Eve respectively. In 2002, Eve and Stefani won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration for "Let Me Blow Ya Mind."\n\n[edit]\nLove. Angel. Music. Baby.\nStefani's debut solo album, "Love. Angel. Music. Baby.," was released on November 22, 2004 in Europe and Asia and on November 23, 2004 in North America. Stefani's debut sold more copies in its first week (310,000) than any No Doubt album ever had in the United States. The album peaked at number five on the Billboard 200 and at number five on the Canadian albums chart; it reached number four in the UK and number one in Australia. Stefani had collaborated with singer-songwriter Linda Perry of 4 Non Blondes on the album, along with Pharrell Williams and André 3000 among others.\n\n"Rich Girl" was released as the second single from the album; it is a duet with rapper Eve, and produced by Dr. Dre. "Rich Girl" is an adaptation of a 1960s pop song by British reggae musicians Louchie Lou and Michie, which itself is partly a cover of the song "If I Were A Rich Man" from the musical Fiddler on the Roof, written by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick.\n\n \nStefani in the music video for "Hollaback Girl".The third single taken from Love. Angel. Music. Baby., "Hollaback Girl" became Stefani's first North American and second Australian number-one single; it peaked at number eight in the United Kingdom. The song became the first U.S. digital download to surpass sales of one million. The fourth single "Cool" was released on July 5, 2005 in North America and August 22, 2005 elsewhere in the world, becoming a substantial hit but not did not match the chart success of its prede

Like you said, Gwen is blowing it up on her own....she has accomplished quite a bit since she went astray from the rest of the gang.....but in my opinion the band had a better sound than she has alone...and no she's not hot..lol...but as far as ur Q goes.....i think her success will slowly drop and the No Doubt without a doubt will reunite

Outstanding song, bad censors.\nIf my works were censored, I'd feel I was making it!  I'm not too upset at opposition anymore since I was reminded that "we're defined by our enemies (who they are) as much as by our friends".\nI'm not even close to being a teen any more (well, in my mind...), but reading your lines brings back the feelings unique to that period; there was never enough 'voice', no matter how many songs/poems there were, to express the feel of my awareness/questioning as a teenager.  \nKeep writing, never stop.  Write 'till your knuckles bleed (little joke there).  Hey, here're some lines: If I wrote until my knuckles bled, my precious words won't reach your head-  because your heart being so damn black, keeps kicking all my meanings back.\nOkay, g'bye.

Inquiring minds want to know! ;)

Procal Harum crafted an unknowable piece of poetry with those lyrics. Perhaps those words don't even make sense to the songwriter(s). I don't know. I think the fun is in the mystery. That song probably means something different to everyone who has ever heard it.

Annoying, isn't it?\n\nIf I didn't know the lyrics to the song, would I be asking the question?\n\nPeople suck, let's keep it at that shall we.

Urban Dictionary claims that hollaback girl means, "someone who allows people to treat him/her like a doormat and walk all over him/her", and credits the term's invention to Gwen Stefani for her 2005 song "Hollaback Girl. However, "Hollaback" had gained popularity in 2002, when it was featured in the Fabolous hit "Young'n (Holla Back)." After Fabolous sang the hook "Holla back, young'n," the line was immediately followed by background vocals responding with "Whoo-whoo!"In "Hollaback Girl", Stefani declares that, although she has been "around the track" a few times, she "ain't no hollaback girl". Near the end of the song, she additionally states that "This shit is bananas", and elaborates on that by asserting, "B-A-N-A-N-A-S." The song contains profanity, using the word "shit" thirty-eight times. The word is excised in the North American and Australian radio and music video versions, however some Australian radio stations and music shows air the uncut version. The same happened in some Italian versions, at least the ones aired by day. It was at least once aired "uncut" at night.\n\nThe inspiration for "Hollaback Girl" is generally ascribed to an insult from Courtney Love. Love had publicly accused Stefani of being a "cheerleader" for the music industry, essentially, an artistic sell-out. When asked about the composition's origins, Stefani responded (without mention of Love), "The song came about after somebody once called me a cheerleader in a negative light. So I said, 'well fuck you, I am a cheerleader, watch me on stage. I’m gonna make a big cheerleader song and you can fuck off.'"

Ha... it's about doing your own thing, not letting others influence you. Watch the music video, though it is somewhat weird.... you'll know what it means, maybe, but yeah do your own thing, that's what it's about, so do it!!!!!lol

I love Gwen!!!!!! She is my favorite singer.  Now is she the best singer out there... of course not.   But shes just way cool.  Her songs (both her own album and ND) are just fun and upbeat.  and she has such an awesome style.

she disgustipates me. she's so f*ckin fake and not punk, but she desperately wants to be. any retarded monkey can write their own lyrics. most people don't pay attention to that anyway. as long as it has a melody that drunk white girls can dance to, its a hit! sadly the same thing is going on in rap and anyone with substance is overlooked
