STEFANI MODELLED CAREER AFTER MADONNA
GWEN STEFANI insists there is no bad blood between her and MADONNA and freely admits she has used the pop superstar as a role model throughout her career.
The WHAT YOU WAITING FOR singer admits the two have much in common, including Italian-American heritage and British husbands.
She tells the US edition of Elle magazine, "It is weird that we have all of these similarities. Madonna’s had us over for dinner and stuff, and she’s always been very nice to me." Stefani admits the HUNG UP singer seemed less-than-impressed when she first mentioned she was recording a solo album featuring dance tunes.
She adds, "I remember telling Madonna I was going to do an ’80s dance record and she rolled her eyes, because I think when you’ve lived through it like she did, she’s like, ‘Whatever.’ "But a lot of my influence came from her early work, like directly, like a Xerox."
