Gwen Stefani has her pick of the best musical minds in the world, but when she really wants an expert opinion, she sticks close to home — and asks Blake Shelton.
Gwen tells Billboard that she’s consulted her fiance about the songs she’s been working on for her comeback — especially the new single, “Let Me Reintroduce Myself.” She says, “It’s funny, because Blake was the one who was listening to all of the songs. We were trying to decide, if we did put something out, what would it be? And he goes, ‘[“Let Me Reintroduce Myself”] just keeps making me feel like it should be that song.’”
And as she puts it, “Blake’s been on The Voice for like 19 seasons, picking songs for people — and sort of has 27 number-one radio hits — so he’s really good at picking songs, I really trust him.”

Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello have gone from breakup rumors to wedding rumors in record time — and Shawn is letting fans “Wonder” about the potential of the two getting hitched.
The Canadian cutie tells Entertainment Tonight, “She’s been one of my best friends since I was, like, 15 years old. I don’t know…at the same time, I know we’re really young, so I don’t want to jump, like, insanely fast, but I think when you find your person, you feel and you know that you have found your person.”
The couple first met way back in 2014, when Shawn was still an unknown singer opening for Austin Mahone.

Madonna is no longer like a tattoo virgin — as she just told the world via Instagram,
On Monday, the Material Mom posted a photo of herself sitting in a tattoo artist’s chair as the inkmaster works on one of her arms. She captioned it “inked for the very first time,” but didn’t reveal what image she chose.
And, yes, both Madge and the tattooist are wearing masks, so it’s clearly all legal.
