Gwen Stefani Bans OC Critic Who Hollas Back
Gwen Stefani and OC Register critic Ben Wener are enjoying a good, old-fashioned feud. Wener tried to get access to a recent show, the publicist turned him down and he recounts how the madness started.
Wener dared to challenge Gwen’s cred:
“At this point,” I wrote, “sharing her time between L.A. and London while posting a reported $90 million via her clothing lines and selling 7 million copies of Love.Angel.Music.Baby, she’s no more ‘just an Orange County girl’ than Best Buy is just a shack that sells Commodore 64s.”
Wener got told that his criticisms were “too personal”, and he fights back with this:
How about saying she could never play Marilyn Monroe, even if she hadn’t shed pregnancy weight? (To me that’s a physical truth: Gwen, who could pass as Jean Harlow in “The Aviator,” looks nothing like Marilyn.)
