Album delays cause mood swings. Just ask Rihanna.

The model may have looked a picture of happiness in London last night at the British Fashion Awards, however she served up full plate of foul to a photographer who was simply trying to take a picture of her.

Many would argue that the episode was soaked in ample irony as the 26-year-old’s “fame” is largely hinged on photos and press propaganda.

In any case, check out the shocking footage below…

Motherhood, fashion, and a return to No Doubt have kept Gwen Stefani out of the solo spotlight in recent times.

However, the eclectic singer is back and blazing with new single ‘Spark The Fire’ – the latest single to be rolled out from her first LP in eight years.

Hot on the promo trail for the Pharrell Williams produced track, the youthful 45-year-old  sat down with Good Morning America today to discuss the project (which also houses buzz cut ‘Baby Don’t Lie’).

Interestingly, the segment was introduced with the announcement that the as yet untitled project is still slated for release this month. It’s a window which has many surprised given that The Voice coach is still “setting up” the single. Could a unique roll-out be nigh? Time will tell.

For now though, peep the interview below…
