Gwen Stefani is finally getting her girl!
Well, that’s what the “Used to Love You” singer, 46, wrote on Instagram on Friday morning — along with the photo of an ultrasound — but it is April Fools’ Day, so we’ll go on a limb and say it’s not true. The blonde is one of the first celebrity pranksters of the day, and it’s generating a big response — from those who wished it really was true to those who are still holding out hope it is.
Crazier things have happened. After all, her romance with Blake Shelton, on the heels of her split from Gavin Rossdale, has been a surprise. Also, that she’s been so public about it. However, if she was really pregnant, she probably wouldn’t post an ultrasound pic online — that’s not her style. She actually waited until she was about six months pregnant with Apollo, 2, to even confirm her baby news.
And let’s face it: Gwen — who is also mom to King, 9, and Zuma, 7 — does not look pregnant.

There are more pranks being slowly unveiled today. The folks at Netflix gave their site a makeover inspired by John Stamos. They also announced a new docuseries called John Stamos: A Human, Being, premiering April 31. Have mercy!
Stamos seemed in on the gag.
YouTube went went further when it added a button shaped like Snoop Dogg’s head at the bottom of each of its videos as part of its supposed new SnoopaVision feature, which allows viewers to watch any clip along with Snoop. In a mock video announcing the partnership, a YouTube spokesman says audiences have been requesting “the ability to watch every video in 360… with Snoop Dogg,” since the website launched. The rapper also put on a bow tie and pretended to be working on this innovative project, which won’t be complete for 100 years or so.

Fashionista announced that One Direction singer Harry Styles is in talks with Gucci to collaborate on a line of shirts. Taylor Swift’s ex is known for wearing colorful suits by the designer, to the point where fashion bloggers are calling for a true partnership. Alas, they revealed their dream had not come true just yet.
Nina Dobrev went old-school, scaring the heck out of her xXx: The Return of Xander Cage co-star Ruby Rose on the set. Rose’s reaction is amusing, but NSFW.
Some celebrities got started early. Who can forget Jessica Lowndes and Jon Lovitz announcing their romance? (We’re still not over the uncomfortable feelings the news gave us.) And Joe Jonas pulled a fast one on Hailee Steinfeld, which you can hear here:
