Another Celeb Smacked in the Face

Little Kingston James McGregor Rossdale threw a little tantrum yesterday afternoon -- pulling at Gwen Stefani's hair and even slapping at her gorgeous mug. Not the face, King, not the face!


TMZ caught Gwen and baby outside their NYC hotel, where the adorable tot was happy to run around on the sidewalk and converse with an enormous passing dog. When Gwen scooped him up to take him to an SUV, baby was not havin' it! Nobody puts baby in an SUV!

61. i love it....she's a hands on mom........spending time with her son.....
you paps need to back off, your stupid remarks/comments/questions to get the person to "talk" so you can get more "film" time is just bad.

62. This is not news. This is a typical toddler. She should have shown him better, but with the paps there, she may have been accused of abuse..Funny watching her get her hair pulled though..

63. This snotty little brat has ALWAYS looked "mean". I don;t care what anyone says I am not promoting child abuse in ANY way but plain good old DISCIPLINE - The little brat NEEDS a couple smacks on h is bottom! That would be the LAST time he "hit" anyone! He is just a completely spoiled brat.

64. holy crap, people! my daughter is a couple of weeks older than Kingston, and good lord can she throw a tantrum! Kingston's behaviour here is MILD compared to what I go through some days. She is in the hitting phase right now, and I'm doing my best to try to curb the behaviour but she's pretty stubborn. She hits me, throws my glasses onto the ground, and tried to pull my earrings out when she's in a tantrum. While we're at home, it's easy enough to scoop her up and put her in her playpen for a 2 minute time-out to cool down, but in public it's another story. First off, you have people glaring at your "horrible demonic" child for you know, being over-stimulated, tired, hungry, fussy, what-have-you, and throwing a tantrum as a result. it's hard when you're out of the house, there's no playpen for time-out and it can be down-right embarrassing. i could tell Gwen felt exasperated. she was waiting for her car to come out of parking and they probably took longer than she had anticipated and the baby was just NOT having it when it was time to go. there was some ASS standing right there filming her, so she KNEW it was going to end up online or on tv, so what the heck did you expect her to do?

Gwen seems like a GREAT mom in my eyes. she always has her baby with her and so what if she has a nanny to help out? believe me, if we could afford one, i'd have a nanny to help out when my hubby's at work, because raising a toddler, especially now that i'm in my 30s as opposed to when i was in my late teens with my first, is tough and tiring. going out to the mall is a major event and it only happens once a week because by the time we're ready to get out the door i'm already exhausted. if i had a nanny to help out, i'd certainly take more outings with her! For all of you who had PERFECT kids who never acted like this, good for you, you got lucky. my oldest (who is now 18) was an ANGEL as a toddler...she was NOT spoiled and had discipline when needed, but it came back to bite us in the ass when she was school-aged and she was a terror from the ages of 6 through 9. EVERY child is different, so don't act all high and mighty because YOUR kids were angels. It has NOTHING to do with being spoiled or bad parenting, i'm not doing anything different from what i did with the first one, it's just that this baby has a completely different temprament. Trust me, this kid hears NO on way more than one occasion each day!

65. It's about time someone slapped Gwen for all that crappy music she's been putting out.

66. even throwing a temper tanteum that kid is really cute. Seems to me she did what any Mom would she tried to calm him down and once he decided to be obstinate she got him the hell out of there,.

67. He is being a very typical 2 year old. My daughter did the same thing to me once as we were walking through a mall. When we got to car she did get a slap, and I felt awful afterward. It was her first real tantrum, over a toy that she wanted that I wouldn't buy. She is 18 now and in college. I can look back now and laugh, but I wasn't laughing then. They don't call it the terrible twos for nothing. For everyone here who is so judgmental, how would you like every public moment of your life scrutinized? I think Gwen handled it fine given the presence of paparazzi. Who knows what she did when they were alone. This is a non-story, as is most stuff here.

69. I LOVE GWEN!! and I think Kingston is the cutest name! But did anyone else notice that he was more receptive to the nanny than he was to Gwen? Pretty sad.

70. The thing everybody seems to be overlooking is that incredible a$$ on the nanny!

71. he appears to be a normal toddler, just nip it in the bud....but i just don't care for gwen stefani, her look, her music, it's all growing very tired, just a "titch" over-rated.
i think she is happy, but sadly, think gavin uses her for his cover, think this marriage of convenience will last a long time, mostly because she's crazy about him.

72. A friend of mine was on an mall escalator at the same time she was (in cognito) last year, and said that she was an absolute b!tch to someone on the phone. Gwen apparantly has this real nagging pissed off voice practically screaming how everyone around her is "so stupid" . My friend said she just kept her head down, cause she thought if gwen thought she was even looking at her, that she would even go off on her. Needless to say, friend is no longer a fan. Oh, in spite of gwen trying to be incognito and all, she had no make-up on and looked like any other blonde at the mall, underneath the sun-glasses and average blend-in clothing.

73. Gwen, I can certainly feel your pain. OMG my 2 year old is over the top with his tantrums and that doesn't mean they're a brat just because they don't agree with you doesn't mean they don't have a need to finish what they were doing. Boys will be boys!

74. Not sure I would classify that as a tantrum. As far as getting hit in the face, yeah kids do that. Its embarrasing enough when you aren't being filmed. I can't imagine how embarrasing it was for her. And people get over it, I have never seen a toddler who didn't throw some sort of little fit. Those who say your kids NEVER do this are LIARS.

75. His behavior is completely normal for his age. Anybody with a child, especially a boy, knows that. It's not fair to pass judgement.
