Gwen Stefani finds it “bizarre” that she was chased around by tabloid photographers during her pregnancy but understands the lure of celebrity gossip.

She recently revealed: “I got caught up with the whole celebrity pregnancy thing. For an entire year, I had people outside my house, waiting for me to come out.”

“I am like anyone who enjoys a nasty bit of gossip. Like, don’t let me open one of those magazines because I can’t put them down. We’re all addicted to it - it’s gross, but it’s entertaining. But I’m the one who has to live it.”

“In LA, there would be mornings where I’d be sleeping with my French doors open, in the heat, and I’d be woken up by chatter. I’d look out and there’d be these guys in lawn chairs, hanging out, having a coffee, ready to chase me around all day.”

“Like, wow. Who am I? What happened? That’s a bizarre life, isn’t it?”

Gwen gave birth to her first child, Kingston, in May.
