GWEN STEFANI’s “Harajuku Lovers Tour 2005” checks into the Aladdin Theater Dec. 3. If the sales of her multi-platinum album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. are any indication, No Doubt the show will sell out.

MORE star-gazing ... the MGM Grand is hosting the Billboard Music Awards. Hang out around the Grand Garden and you’ll see all the people who make the music you hear on Power104-3 and Krater96. Or buy a ticket to see the show and maybe we’ll see you on KHON Channel 2 when the show airs Dec. 6.
