Gwen takes Peas advice

Although it was released with fanfare and hoohah and parades of mute Japanese children trailing in her wake, Gwen Stefani's solo debut has somehow failed to trouble the compilers of "best albums ever" lists. So, rather than try and come up with something new for the next one, she's just hired in whoever's "hot" now, which translates as Sean Garrett, who's helped Beyonce and Fergie produce some very forgettable work recently. But he's got profile, and that's what counts.

It's unknown if her Tokyo Orphanarium entourage will be retained for the new record.
