Gwen Stefani gets blacklisted

Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Gwen Stefani blacklisted?After reading countless stories about Britney, Lindsay and other celebrities behaving badly, you start to wonder: doesn't this start to mess with their careers? It's not like they're only acting up when they're out at the club, these people are consistently a pain in the butt to work with, so how is it that we keep seeing them in movies and magazines?

Well, apparently being difficult can get your blacklisted -- but only by some directors. David LaChappelle, for instance, is a photographer/filmmaker who most-recently shot Christina Aguilera's Dirrty video, the indie documentary hit Rize, and H&M's five-minute Romeo and Juliet commercial for their 'Tis the Season to be Gorgeous denim line. He's a talented guy, and his work is super trendy right now, so seemingly everyone is fighting to work him.

However, he won't shoot with everyone.

In fact, LaChapelle keeps a list of people he won't work with -- a list that includes Christina Aguilera, Madonna and Gwen Stefani.

While Stefani admits the famous photographer can be a challenge to work with, she also claims the blacklist is just a rumor. However, she also admits to throwing a couple tantrums during a photo shoot the two did together for No Doubt, so it wouldn't exactly be surprising if LaChapelle had sworn off working with her. They both sound more than a little high-strung.
