    No Doubt has decided to remove its "Looking Hot" music video from YouTube after receiving complaints from fans and the Native American community. In the Melina Matsoukas-directed video, frontwoman Gwen Stefani, 43, wore traditional Native American clothing while being tied to poles and fighting cowboys. The video can still be seen here.

    "As a multi-racial band our foundation is built upon both diversity and consideration for other cultures. Our intention with our new video was never to offend, hurt or trivialize Native American people, their culture or their history," Stefani, Tony Kanal, Adrian Young and Tom Dumont explained on the band's official website. "Although we consulted with Native American friends and Native American studies experts at the University of California, we realize now that we have offended people. This is of great concern to us and we are removing the video immediately."

    The band added, "The music that inspired us when we started the band, and the community of friends, family, and fans that surrounds us was built upon respect, unity and inclusiveness. We sincerely apologize to the Native American community and anyone else offended by this video. Being hurtful to anyone is simply not who we are."

    Gwen Stefani and rocker Gavin Rossdale have been married for a decade and the No Doubt frontwoman takes great pride in their longevity as a couple.

    “A miracle,” she told the October issue of Marie Claire of staying together for so long. “My biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it’s hard, everyone knows it’s hard.

    “[Marriage] is something that I always wanted to do successfully,” she added. “It was a dream of mine. I like the official-ness and the family-ness of it all, having the same name and making decisions together.”

    The couple has faced their share of tabloid rumors touting the demise of their relationship over the years, but Stefani said they are still going strong.

    “[Our relationship] is better than it’s ever been,” she said. “Like, we’re learning about each other all the time. He’s an amazing dad, he works so hard -- I can hear him writing songs through the wall, and it is at a much quicker pace than me!”

    Stefani said one of the things she loves about her husband is how smitten he is with his music superstar wife.

    “He balances me out. And he -- he never stops liking me, which is awesome,” she said. “It makes me feel happy, that someone likes me as much as he does.”

    The couple is parents to two boys -- Kingston, 6, and Zuma, 4 -- and Gwen revealed the boys are bundles of energy.

    “From the moment they wake up, they start beating on each other,” she said. “I never knew they would be so physical. They’re just starting to play real well together, but with a lot of fighting. They do look out for each other -- especially the little one, he really loves his older brother.”

    Gwen would like another child, but said she’s also happy if their family numbers stay the same.

    “I really, really, really wanted one about two years ago,” she told Marie Claire of having another baby. “And it didn’t really work out. So ... I feel good with what we’ve got. Everything works out how it should. You can’t plan anything, right? You can try.”

    No Doubt to reunite after nearly three years

    By Josh Grossberg, E! Online

    Gwen Stefani of the rock band No Doubt performs at the Gibson Amphitheatre on July 22, 2009, in Universal City, Cali.

    No Doubt is gearing up for their comeback all right--onstage and in court. On the same day a Los Angeles judge gave their lawsuit against video game maker Activision permission to go to trial, the ska-punk rockers announced plans to reunite onstage for the first time in two-and-a-half years with a performance at the upcoming Teen Choice Awards. 

    That's "Hella Good" timing for No Doubt fans.

    "I can't believe this is actually happening. The idea of playing our new music live is heaven on earth," singer Gwen Stefani said in a statement regarding their return to live performing. "Can't wait to share it!!" 

    Added bassist Tony Kanal: "We're so stoked to finally start performing these new songs live. And to be doing the first performance of our first single in Los Angeles makes it even more awesome." 

    The 2012 Teen Choice Awards is slated to air live on July 22 on Fox and it'll be No Doubt's first concert since they played Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit in October 2009. It's also part of a big publicity push as the group prepares to drop their as-yet-untitled sixth studio album--the first since the band's 2001 multi-platinum-selling Rock Steady--on Sept. 25. 

    The kudocast isn't the only hometown gig the SoCal's band's looking forward to.

    No Doubt was also happy to hear that their complaint against Activision for allegedly exceeding group members' contractual likenesses in the music video game Band Hero is finally going to go before a jury of their peers. 

    In her decision today, L.A. Superior Court Judge Ramona See denied the Santa Monica, Calif.-based company's petition to toss the suit, effectively sending it to trial later this year. 

    No Doubt sued the game maker in 2009, accusing Activision of allowing players to manipulate the quartet's individual avatars in ways they would never have acted in real life, thus violating their publicity rights and, according to the suit, turning them into a "virtual karaoke circus act." 

    More from E! Online: Read the original complaint 

    Such manipulations include "unlocking" mechanisms that gave gamers the ability to have Stefani's CGI alter ego sing in a male voice and also allowed her male bandmates to sing in female voices--it also enabled the virtual No Doubt to perform solo and cover hit songs by other artists that the foursome would normally never have chosen, such as Gwen crooning the Rolling Stones' "Honky Tonk Woman." 

    "Now that the judge removed the last procedural hurdle Activision erected, No Doubt looks forward to a Los Angeles jury hearing how Activision treated the band," No Doubt's attorney, Bert Deixler, told E! News. 

    An Activision rep said the ruling wasn't entirely unexpected noting that "it simply means that there are disputed facts and we look forward to trying the case in the courtroom."
