Gwen Stefani and her husband Gavin Rossdale have thrown a lavish party on Sunday to celebrate their son Kingston turning two - with a guestlist including Joel Madden and Victoria Beckham.

The couple hosted the cowboy-themed event at their Malibu, California home and made it a memorable day by hiring ponies and encouraging attendees to don fancy dress.

Good Charlotte rocker Madden made an appearance without his girlfriend Nicole Richie, bringing along their four-month-old daughter Harlow.

Beckham arrived with her youngest son, three-year-old Cruz - who was dressed in a monkey costume.

Stefani is expecting her second child.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are planning on giving their unborn baby an unusual name - so the tot will fit in with big brother Kingston.

Stefani - who is currently pregnant with the couple’s second child - gave birth to Kingston James in 2006, naming him after the capital city of Jamaica.

And the parents are having difficulties thinking of a suitable name for the new baby.
Rossdale insists they would prefer something more traditional, but both feel they should opt for a more unusual moniker to fit with their eldest offspring.

He says, “There are some names floating around the house. We don’t want anything too crazy, but compared to a name like Kingston, there’s so much pressure on the poor guy or poor girl. Kingston set a pretty intense standard.”

They haven’t said yet what the name is going to be….any guesses???

Don’t expect Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale to be stocking up on baby items in pink or blue just yet. The couple, who are expecting their second child, will find out if they’re getting a boy or a girl on delivery day, Rossdale said Wednesday.

“We don’t know [the baby’s gender]. It was a surprise last time so we’re kind of working on that this time,” he told Ryan Seacrest on his KIIS-FM radio show. “There are some [names] floating around the house, bouncing around the walls.”

But will the new baby’s name measure up to his brother’s? “Not too crazy,” said Rossdale, 42, who added that compared to a name like Kingston, “there’s so much pressure on the poor guy or poor girl. Kingston set a pretty intense standard!”

The big brother-to-be, who turns 2 next month, has also been entertaining his parents with his growing vocabulary. “He speaks now,” said Rossdale. “It’s pretty cute. He’s got a funny way of saying things and a funny voice. He’s pretty vocal.”

Stefani, 38, has described her son as a “chilled-out little guy … he’s super-cute and super-entertaining.”

Gavin Rossdale turned to rock `n’ roll after a knee injury wrecked a promising professional soccer career.

Gwen Stefani’s husband, who starred in 2005 soccer movie The Game Of Their Lives, was once handed a trial at top London team Chelsea. But his sporting dreams were never realized because of a knee injury.

Rossdale went on to find fame as the frontman of Bush, but is still a huge soccer fan, and hopes his son Kingston, who celebrates his second birthday next month, will take up the sport.

Though the legendary Chateau Marmont Hotel is rarely referred to as a family-friendly place, it was the perfect setting for Hollywood stylist Andrea Lieberman’s Marie Antoinette-themed baby shower. Nicole Richie, Ellen Pompeo and Gwen Stefani were among the glam guests who gathered inside the hotel’s Bungalow 1 for afternoon tea, hosted by Margaret Maldonado and jeweler Mouawad. “Andrea is like a New York version of me, but way cooler and more talented,” said California girl Stefani (in Diane von Furstenberg). “The fact that we’re pregnant at the same time is such a gift.”
