Breaking from her motherly duties to tend to her lucrative career endeavors, Gwen Stefani was spotted heading into a local studio in Santa Monica, California earlier this afternoon (April 30).

Donning a striped shirt along with a hot pink lip, the 42-year-old performer tweeted of her recent music-making outings, “Studio at the end of the race - take 2 'Psycho' gx” and “Singing - send me vibes gx”.

In other career news, a source recently revealed to the New York Post that Miss Stefani may be replacing Steve Jones as the new host on the American version of "The X-Factor,"

Claiming that Simon Cowell is willing to spend up to $7 million for her, the insider added, "[Cowell] is feeling the pressure and knows only a big-time, well-respected name will do if he wants anyone to flip the channel from The Voice."

The “Hollaback Girl” singer previously stated that she would not like a judging position because she doesn’t like confrontations, but she does have a background in the world of reality competition programs after having been a mentor on the hit show “American Idol.”
