Stepping out to help her husband celebrate his birthday, Gwen Stefani was spotted at Madeo restaurant in Beverly Hills yesterday (October 30).

The “Hollaback Girl” songstress looked “rocker chic” in a black and white shawl with a very bright bra shining through from underneath.

Gwen’s husband of 7 years, Gavin Rossdale, turned 42 years young yesterday, but it sounds like the musician is more excited about Halloween that year than his birthday.

He told press that he will be dressing up as Buzzyear, the kids will be dressing as “furry, cuddly” dinosaurs and Gwen will be in surprise costume “that looks incredible – like every other day.”

He adds, “It’s too early to tell, but she’s a good soul and I love her family, so we’ll see!” Jessica Simpson is tired of dating jocks and musicians – she’s ready for an academic.

The singer has endured a string of folded relationships since the breakdown of her marriage to singer Nick Lachey in 2005, including rocker John Mayer and American football star Tony Romo.

And Simpson has revealed why she is still restricted – she gets bored easily and craves intellectual stimulation.

She tells additional, “I don’t want to get bored. I can bore out pretty easily, so I love intellectual men – public that will always keep me intrigued.”

High-end fashion house Versace is slashing 350 jobs worldwide after it forecast a 30% drop in revenue for 2009.

The restructure reflects a troubled global luxury goods industry that Bain & Co. reportedly expects to contract 8% to $US228.25 billion in 2009.

Associated Press reported Gian Giacomo Ferraris, who took by the family fashion house in July, said it hoped an aggressive approach would create instant change.

Production would be streamlined, the store network would be reviewed and capital investments and overhead reduced, he told media.

“We will invest in design, product development and grade management,” Mr Ferraris said. “All the other areas, infrastructure, support, like bookkeeping, administration, controlling, and any double infrastructure, will be concentrated and rationalised.”

The company aims to have an operating profit by the end of 2010 and a bottom line profit by 2011.

Staff would be cut from 1,310 now to 960 by the middle of next year, he said.

While new stores were planned in Las Vegas, New Dehli, Dubai and the Gold Coast, unprofitable stores would close, including its three stores in Japan.

The luxury goods industry has dived in Japan, but Mr Ferraris told AP it would reposition there in the future.

Never one to step out under-dressed, Dita Von Teese was spotted leaving a gym on Friday afternoon (October 30) in Los Angeles, CA.

The Burlesque beauty cleaned up rather nicely after her workout, and smiled politely for the paparazzi as she made her way to her car.

In other news, a paparazzo has apologized for humiliating Von Teese by shouting impolite comments at her after she bumped into him at LAX.

And as far as Halloween goes that year, Dita will not be participating. She tweeted earlier today, “I’m sitting that Halloween out! Too much work to be done, too jetlagged+mentally unprepared to have the spray tan due for my costume!”

Drawing quite the crowd, Katie Price had a book signing earlier today (October 31) in Dublin, Ireland.

All glammed up for the occasion, the glamour model-turned-TV star showed up with her two kids in a tiny strapless, sparkling dress before signing copies of “Standing Out” for her fans.

When it comes to her style, Ms Price recently told press, “I can be really slutty, sexy and skimpy, or classy, covered-up and ‘mature,’ I would say. But whether I ever have a night out partying, I will always wear something minimal. I would go out in my bikini whether I could!”

The 31-year-old prides herself on having her “own style” but in many ways she’s anti-fashion.
