Gwen Stefani and her sons, Kingston and baby Zuma, were bundled up against the cold London weather as they ran errands this weekend. Papa Gavin Rossdale joined them for a little while, and Gwen wore her special Coat of Many Colors for him. Seriously that is one surefire way to make sure you don’t get hit by a car while you’re crossing the street. Even a drunk in a complete blackout is going to be like “HOLY SHIT WHAT IS GWEN STEFANI WEARING?” and swerve the car.

Considering that a lot of non-famous people probably dressed up like them last night, it’s interesting to see what celebs chose to be for Halloween. I love that Gwen Stefani wasn’t afraid to don a head to toe Jessie (from Toy Story 2) costume to take her kids out trick-or-treating. Gavin gets negative points for taking himself too seriously and not wearing a costume.

Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman Anthony Kiedis and his son both dressed as Eddie Munster while Christina Aguilera and son Max went out as a pair of skeletons. James Gandolfini and designer Christian Siriano both looked unintentionally creepy– one because he was wearing a Homer Simpson mask with the eyes cut out, the other because… well… you’ll see.

It seemed like Family Weekend here in LA with celebrities ditching the nannies for a couple of days and actually like, hanging out with their kids. Even over in Cambridge, MA, Tom and Suri were playing in a lake together (which looks so photo-oppy, sadly.) The pumpkin patch seemed like the place to be with appearances by Heidi Klum and Hendy, Larry Birkhead and mini Anna Nicole and Christina Aguilera and Max. Also notable is Nicole Richie and a scrumptious looking Harlow (I wanted to eat the buns off her head) and Brian Austin Green taking his son Kassius bowling. As if having Brian Austin Green for a dad wasn’t hard enough, the poor kid has to be named something more suitable for a gay porn star, too.

Gwen Stefani turns 40 today, and it’s too soon. If Gwen Stefani is 40, then I am no longer in the present progressive tense of misspending my youth, I’ve done spent that shit and am moving solidly into purchasing a pair of love handles for my middle age.

I am shamed by Gwen. Chances are, you are too. Not only has she already accomplished more in her life than most people who’ve been on this planet twice as long, she looks better than I did at half her age. Look at those abs, people! I could exfoliate my face on them!

Gwen celebrated with hubby Gavin Rossdale and her impossibly adorable kids, Zuma and Kingston at Cecconi’s Restaurant in West Hollywood today. Happy birthday Gwen, you fabulous badass for whom age is nothing but an empty number to be sneered at, shanked, and punched in the face.

And happy birthday to my sister, Heather, who also has a son named for a capital city. She turns an age today that I’m not sure she’d want me to say, so I won’t. Love you sis!

Oh, boy.  The newest issue of In Touch has an interview with a dude named Marilyn who claims to have had a five-year relationship with Gavin Rossdale-Green Day singer and husband of Gwen Stefani.

With a happy marriage, two beautiful children and a romance that’s lasted more than 13 years, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have one of rock ’n’ roll’s most stable relationships. But Gavin wasn’t always the perfect family man he is today. Back in the ’80s, he was a wild child who wore black lipstick and partied until all hours at London’s underground clubs. And the most important relationship of his life may have been with another androgynous, hard-partying man. As In Touch has learned, Gavin had a long-standing secret love affair with Marilyn — a male rocker who looked remarkably like Gwen. “He was the love of my life,” Marilyn tells In Touch.

Though Boy George broke the news of Gavin, 43, and Marilyn’s tumultuous romance in his 1995 book, Take It Like a Man, Gavin denied it, stating, “I wasn’t dating Marilyn. We were, and still are, good friends.” At the time, Marilyn denied the affair, as well. But today he says he did it only because Gavin asked him to. “He was just becoming successful in America,” Marilyn explains. “I agreed to lie against every grain of my being.” Now, Marilyn wants to set the record straight. In an exclusive interview with In Touch, the British pop icon details the love affair that spanned the early ’80s. “We were together five years,” Marilyn says. “But it felt like 40.” (Gavin’s rep denies the story.)

Though Gavin’s rep may want to deny the story, the fact that Boy George already outed this relationship and now one of the two parties is ‘fessing up to it, I think it could be true.  It’s entirely possible that Gwen already knows that her husband is bi-sexual but it seems such a far departure from the simple kind of life she proclaimed to want.

UPDATE:  To all who felt so passionate about this that they had to email me, Bush…not Green Day.  I don’t even know who Green Day is or what recesses of my mind it came from but no matter what band he came from, it doesn’t change the fact that he allegedly boned a dude for five years.  Oh, and for the people who want to say I’m homophobic, my son is a show-tune loving, can-can dancing fool.  So I’m as about non-homophobic as they get, k?

I think I’m supposed to be focused on the adorable, totally normal-looking celeb fam, consisting of Gwen Stefani, Gavin Rossdale and their kids Kingston and Zuma, in Beverly Hills yesterday.  Cute.

But isn’t the real story here the complete absence of nannies?  And red lipstick?

We get our first good shots of little Zuma Rossdale, as Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale take him out to do some shopping for the day in Los Angeles.

What a cutie pie!!!
