Or we’re gonna get married, or she’s on her second set of twins. Or, you know, I’m sneaking behind her back to eat meat. I eat meat right in front of her face!” (Stefani is a longtime vegan.) – Read more at Today

Adam is super low-key — he coms across as a buddy. He feels like he’s your buddy right away, whereas Alicia, you kind of end up feeling this maternal, protective vibe.

That’s another thing I have been doing. Even though I am back from Asia.

Heather Morris Reveals Why She’s About to Hit Her Breaking Point on DWTS – Upon judging my performance, Carrie Ann Inaba commented that she found it extremely underwhelming to watch because it did not have the amount nor the quality of jazz dancing that she expected from me.
