Barely Legal Gwen Stefani

TMZ has obtained video of a cute-as-a-button, 20-year-old Gwen Stefani -- vowing to become a star years before No Doubt hit it big.


The video -- shot in 1991 -- has some aww-worthy, pre-"Don't Speak" moments with then boyfriend Tony Kanal, including a scene of the two hitting the showers before braiding each other's hair. Cute!

Gwen is even seen using a glue gun to keep her own clothes together. Hope that's a fashion "secret" she didn't bring to L.A.M.B.!

16. to number 11?
WTF, obviously you have never lived in the caribbean. Jamaicans are some of the rudest people on the planet. SO why the FARK would I want to "idolize" people or a culture who are racist against white people. Don't think they are?!
I live in the caribbean and i will tell you, they are! And that's a fact!
A jamaican will block you with a car, when your behind them in waiting in another car, coming out of a mall parking lot. Why? oh..becuase they have the window rolled down and they will be talking with thier friend..and they WILL NOT move. Thier attitude is "what's your rush".
If your shopping in a grocery store, and your waiting at the checkout line. *usually this is jamaican women that does this* but a jamaican women will cut infront of you, cause she figures you have too much stuff and you can wait. (done to white women and men on that one, they would never do that to a "sista"). Seen that, time and time again. Or they will invite thier friends to cut infront of you. Agian, cause your white and you wont' say anything to them (and sadly white people are so polite..they DON"T!)
Or how about, your waiting in line at the grocery store at the 7 items or less isle. And the jamaican infront of you, has 30 items or more. becuase 10 cans of peas as far as a jamaican is concerned is ONE ITEM!. Just to farking lazy or ignorant to care about anyone else in that line.
About driving..did ya know jamaicans don't use signal lights.....FACT. Very RARELY do any of them in the caribbean.

I could go on and on about the "jamaican" culture.

Please, DO NOT buy that number 11's crap. You support racism if you do. And I dont' write a long winded speech like this, cause im exaggerating or making this crap up.

17. Absolutely adorable! :)
I love how genuine she is, and how she really pursued her dreams.

18. She looks the same, except the hair, but what a horrible squeaky voice she has!

20. She is acting here a lot. She looks better as a brunette. She looks so fake as a blonde.

21. I think that Rashee the ex-boyfriend should have taken the towel off.

22. TMZ is so full of crap now......do they even watch this stuff before it is posted? Look at the description-Gwen and Tony "hit the showers" before "they braid each others hair"! Granted Gwen is super cute in this, but I watched the tape and Gwen walking into a bathroom and walking out isn't hitting any shower, and no where is anyone braiding hair. Come on TMZ I get that you sensationalize things to make us click but is it really needed for this clip?

23. Thanks, TMZ, for this video of Gwen as a wide-eyed cutie gettin' herself ready for the big stage. Luv her skillz with the glue gun, big fun and a nice metaphor for the taping and the gluing we all do before getting on the big stages of own lives.

24. She had big dreams and she went for it!! Good for her! They lyrics to most of her current songs are a bit hokey (b-a-n-a-n-a-s anyone?) for me, but love all the old No Doubt stuff.

She looks great as a brunette!! It would be so refereshing to see her ditch the peroxide bottle and go back to her roots.

25. She is the most over-rated entertainer of our generation. Evertything she has ever put out has been ripped off from somebody else. Only impressionable minions and lemmings look up to her.

26. actually, gwen was born in 1969, so if she was 20 when this tape was shot, it would be 1989, not 1991. if it was shot in 1991, she'd be 22.

27. I love Gwen! Can't wait for the new No Doubt material next year!!

28. wow, what a gem! thank you TMZ! that was a real treat! She is just so cute in this video! Man... Tony Kanal was such a babe with the long hair! LOL i used to have such a crush on him! Was so mad at him that he broke her heart like that but you know what?? it all turned out for the better! And adrian looks sooooo goofy with his long hair! SURFER DUDE! haha!

Anyway.... thank you TMZ! I think this is by far my favorite piece you have done. I miss No Doubt

#25: a lot of people look up to her. It is a matter of taste I think. And it is ok to like her, and ok not to like her. I think you are being infantile to bash people just for liking a person. Have you heard the No Doubt albums? they are pretty good! (and that is my opinion) I have been a fan for many many years and never thought they had copied anyone's style. not sure about her current stuff though :) I am not knowledge-able enough to pass judgment.

29. That was awesome! I am a huge fan of No Doubt... Gwen Stefani as a solo artist not so much, but a great clip nontheless. Thanks TMZ!
