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.

Mainland actress Chen Hao has been chosen as the most beautiful woman in China in an online poll featuring more than one million voters.

The actress shot to fame for her role in TV series “Pink Ladies”, which was adapted from Taiwan cartoonist Zhu Deyong’s comic book. Chen Hao played one of the leading roles in “Pink Ladies” as a sexy and adorable lady that manipulates the guys. The drama later turned out to be a super hit all across Asia’s Chinese community.

Other identities in the top 10 included Yang Lan, a TV hostess and entrepreneur, Annie Yi, a Taiwan singer and actress, and Yu Dan, a professor and media scholar.

The poll began in April and initially featured 100 candidates from all circles of life.

Voters then reduced the list to 50, based on criteria including their reputations, achievements, personalities and contributions to the society, the organizer said.

Over one million people attended the online poll conducted on Sina.com, the web site reported. The result was determined according to the public votes and the opinions of the jury team.

Harry Potter star Emma Watson is the one most Brits believe is their country’s ‘Greatest Female Ambassador’.

The 17-year old, who plays the muggle-born witch Hermione Granger in the hit movie adaptations of the Harry Potter novels, has beat out the likes of older, and more well known faces such as Kate Moss, Keira Knightley and Victoria Beckham.

The poll was conducted by Top of the Pops magazine, and editor Peter Hart said that it was Watson’s combination of beauty and brains that were the qualities that sealed the deal.

Coming in close on Hermione’s heels in second place was Oscar nominee Keira Knightley, followed by singer Lily Allen in third spot.

Fourth place on the list went to pregnant singer Charlotte Church.

Rounding off the top five was another pregnant beauty, former glamour model Jordan.

And, while Victoria Beckham aka Posh Spice only managed eighth place, Kate Moss and Girls Aloud’s Sarah Harding found themselves a the bottom of the poll.Chinadaily.com.cn
