Gwen Stefani : "No New Music For A While"

Gwen Stefani has warned fans of No Doubt not to expect a new album for "a while" - because most of her bandmembers are busy with new babies.

The group released its last studio album, Rock Steady, in 2001, and despite spending much of 2010 working on new tracks, the blonde beauty admits they aren't nearing a finished project because of their other commitments.

Stefani is busy with her fashion line L.A.M.B. and guitarist Tom Dumont and bassist Tony Kanal have both recently fathered a child. She tells the Wall Street Journal, "We've been doing a record all year; 10 songs have been recorded. When this (new fashion line) is done I'll probably write a few more songs. I don't know when it'll come out, but you never know what can happen.

"My band takes a weird process as well. It takes so long. And all of them just had babies, so it'll be a while."
