Gwen Stefani strutted to the front of the stage Saturday night at Atlantic City's Borgata Events Center, copped a dude-on-the-street-corner pose in her baggy boyfriend jeans, and pulled up her white wife-beater, showing off her can't-believe-she-popped-out-two-kiddies washboard abs. She nodded her head knowingly, then pumped and flexed her biceps.

"We need this sooo badly," says Gwen Stefani in the perpetually questioning accent of a native Cali girl. "We've been in a drought for, like, years." She's talking about the rain currently pelting the greater Los Angeles area. Presumably.
