    THE NEW ENTOURAGE

    Image Forget the hefty bodyguards, the nagging publicist with her dangling ear bud, and the general hangers-on and go get yourself a posse of Galliano clad gals to act as your arm candy. That's exactly what Gwen Stefani did. While promoting her new album L.A.M.B (so rad it will make Madonna pop an arm vein), she has been travelling around with a band of Harajuku girls. They flank her and mug for the cameras whenever GS happens to be making a public appearance. This silent army is so well trained that they can resist spontaneous giggling even when Gwen walks the red carpet in white stirrup tights.
