Gwen Stefani Refuses to perform in LA on Current Tour
Gwen might be an Orange County girl -- as she proudly states in her new CD "The Sweet Escape" -- but we were under the impression that she had love for the City of Angels, a place she resided (Los Feliz whoot whoot) for many years, until she met that pretty boy from Bush.
But we guess we were, like, totally wrong.
The skinny blonde released her tour dates recently, and we see that she's playing places like Holmdel, NJ, Wantagh, NY, and Uncasville, CT; but if we in LA want to see our favorite NDer or dance along with the Harajuku girls, we've either got to haul ass up to Bakersfield in the spring, or brave the great unknown behind the Orange Curtain this summer.
No doubt this clearly means that she's still in love with Tony and is trying to play hard-to-get.
Complete tour dates after the jump.
