Gwen Stefani Hollas Back to Peggy Lee

Posted Nov 6th 2006 2:05PM by TMZ Staff

Gwen Stefani is channeling the late, great Miss Peggy Lee on the cover of the hollaback girl's new album, "The Sweet Escape." It gives me fever.

The disc, which drops December 5, is produced by Akon, with songs by Tony Kanal, Swizz Beatz, Dave Stewart and others.

Legendary singer and songwriter Peggy co-wrote all the songs for Disney's "Lady and the Tramp," for which Peggy sued Disney (and won $2.3 million) to get a piece of the video revenues.

Gwen hits the road next April for her U.S. tour. And that's all there is.

1. I like ORIGINALS the best...no one can copy the incomparable Peggy Lee!

2. I think that her picture is wayyy to photo shoped for me, i mean i like her and her music but she is alway preaching about being yourself and it seems to me that she is not taking her own advice, looks to fake to me.

3. It would be nice for her to come up with her own style. She can design clothing but can't create something for herself?

4. I'm not sure I'm liking those round sunglasses on Britney Spears in the right pic. Gwen Stefani looks nice though.

7. I believe she's channeling Michelle Pfieffer in Scarface. Which was also the inspiration for her latest L.A.M.B. collection.

You guys are old !!!!

10. love gwen but is her new cd a joke or what? Is she trying to prove some society media experiment by releasing these stupid uncreative songs just to see if the public will bite?????

Love her, but she's lost her way.

Gwen said "she (elvira) is an inspiration to me". So, what gwen is sying that coke'd up whore's are the shit !. ummmm...ok.......yeah! God help us all !!

12. I liked Gwen's first solo cd, but I wish she would get back to the No Doubt sound.

13. Reminds me of Michelle Pfeiffer in Scarface.. although not as hot.

14. #10. I totally agree with you. Love Gwen. She is so gorgeous that she is the only
woman who looks better after giving birth! But the song "wind it up" is a joke. And tho Michelle
Pfeiffer was beautiful, Gwen's look here is much more stylized and edgey! She has musically lost her way
and she needs to stop hanging out with Eve because apparantly Gwen acts like she thinks she's a "home girl" now.
