Gwen Stefani could be forced to cancel her Malaysian show after a Muslim group branded her "indecent" and "obscene".

The singer, who is currently on the road with her 'Sweet Escape' tour, is due to perform in Kuala Lumpur next month but the National Union of Malaysian Muslim Students want the concert scrapped because Gwen's image offends Islamic beliefs.

Mohamad Hilmi Ramli said: "Her video clips promoting the event are too obscene. We want the organizers to cancel the concert, failing which we will ask the authorities to intervene."

Ramli also slammed Malaysian mobile phone company Maxis Communications for promoting Gwen's concert and exposing young Malaysians to "moral decay".

He fumed: "Maxis has been staging a series of foreign acts to make a profit and to expose our young generation to things such as moral decay."

Gwen's Kuala Lumpur show is due to take place at the Stadium Putra on August 21.

The 'Hollaback Girl' singer will also perform in Australia, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, China and Hawaii before taking her tour to Europe.

Akon has apologized in song to Gwen Stefani for his raunchy dance with an underage girl at a Trinidad concert in April.

The Smack That singer hit controversy when he dirty danced with a 14-year-old Danah Alleyne at the gig, prompting the Caribbean country's Prime Minister to order a formal investigation into the incident.

Akon and Stefani were touring together at the time, and the dance cost the tour the sponsorship of communications firm Verizon.

In a new song, which has leaked online although its title is unknown, Akon asks for "the blame to be put on me" and says about Stefani, "Sorry for the hand she was dealt/For the embarrassment she felt".

In the track, Akon also says about Alleyne, "Daddy should have never let her out that young/How was I supposed to know she was underage in a 21-and-over club?".

Pop star Gwen Stefani would happily return to her previous job as a make-up artist if her musical career ever ended.

The Sweet Escape singer - who, with her rocker husband Gavin Rossdale and baby son Kingston, was voted Hollywood's Best Looking Family last month - admits she preferred make-up to toys as a youngster and loved her brief stint as a make-up artist.

She says, "I was always the girl, who after school everyday would say, 'Ask your mom if we can play with her make-up'. And then we'd do that for about four hours."

"I would burn everybody with the curling iron and do make-overs on everyone."

"I was a make-up artist in a mall when I was 17 so it's always something I've been into."

Natural beauty Gwen Stefani never fails to look good in plaid and she pulled it off again when she attended the Club mur.mur at Borgata Hotel, Casino and Spa.
