Gwen Stefani must be searching for inspiration for her Harajuku clothing lines!
The singer/clothing designer went on a tour of Little Tokyo in LA Saturday with her family, perhaps on the lookout for new trends to feature in her Japanese street style-inspired clothing lines for adults and children.
Hubby Gavin Rossdale toted the pair's youngest son, Zuma, when he wasn't being pushed in the stroller by mom. And Kingston plugged along, taking in the sites and some yummy lunch as well.
Stefani's clothing lines are named after the trendy youth who hang around the Harajuku train station in Tokyo. The girls are known to wear outrangeous, colorful looks, reminiscent of anime and manga characters.
LA's gentrified Little Tokyo neighborhood isn't quite so wild, but Gwen has been known to take the kids there for weekend outings and even pick up some brightly-colored home decor in the area's boutiques.
After their downtown outing, the family went to the park to let loose. Check out the game between the boys and their mom!

Kim's still goin' strong!
Despite some fairly negative media after it was announced she'd divorce Kris Humphries so soon after the couple's lavish wedding, the lead Kardashian is still plugging away.
Her fans surrounded her at a Beverly Hills spectacle shop Saturday and the reality star obliged when asked to pose for photos.
Still, not
everyone's in love with Kim K ... the web site BoycottKim.com has attracted more than half a million signatures from supporters who agree to stop supporting businesses that work with Kim. Ouch!
The site's founder, who wishes to remain anonymous, has
reportedly been contacted by Kim's legal counsel. In fact, the site implored users to contact Kim's attorney to voice their displeasure over reports Kardashian Klothing is made in Chinese sweatshops. The link on BoycottKim.com to the Kardashian's lead lawyer has since been removed.
The site was launched Nov 2 and the founder says he's aiming for a million signatures. He claims Kim and her family "are a stain on our culture" and "an embarrassment for our country." What do YOU think?

Are the Kardashians a "stain" on American culture?
