Gwen breaks a digit while running up some high-fashion samples.
Finger-Bent-Back Girl

You'd need to have spent some time trapped in a cave not to be aware that Gwen Stefani likes designing clothes. After all, there was a shoutout to her fashion label L.A.M.B. about once every three minutes on her debut album - even in the title itself.

But even a lady of Gwen's knowledge and experience can still come a cropper with the machinery, it seems. The Mirror reports that the kooky popstrel broke her finger while making some clothes on her industrial-sized sewing machine at home.

A source told the tab: "Gwen was up against a deadline and was hurriedly putting some new samples together. Unfortunately, she forgot to lock down the settings and when she started operating the machine again, the material was ripped through its jaws. As Gwen struggled to save the sample, her finger was bent right back." Say it with us, folks: OUCH.

Gwen was rushed to hospital by hubby Gavin Rossdale, where her broken finger was fitted with a brace. The source added: "It was only a slight fracture, but it was still really painful."

Yes, but did she manage to save the sample? Fashionistas across the globe are desperate to know!
