Angelina Jolie was roundly criticized when she called her baby a 'blob' and then seem to say that she cared more for her natural children than her adopted kids. Now what happens when the comment is echoed? Likely not much. Us Weekly asks Why is it when Gwen Stefani calls her baby a "blob," it seems charming, yet when pal Angelina Jolie did it, it sparked a media firestorm?

Angelina Jolie Blob Comment Echoed by Gwen Stefani: Outrage?

The weekly entertainment magazine speculates that one can chalk it up to the singer's universal likeability, which she shows off in her latest interview with British Elle. The 37-year-old wife and mother opens up to the mag about playdates with Brangelina, and how hard it is for her to stay stick-thin.

Us does the legwork and pulls the pertinent quotes from the interview including the fact that both Angelina and Gwen tried out for the role of Jane Smith in the Hollywood thriller that brought Angie and Brad Pitt together - Mr. & Mrs. Smith.

On whether her son, Kingston, and Brangelina's daughter, Shiloh, play together:

"Yeah! They were like two little blobs when they met. Maybe they'll get married when they grow up? That'd be cute!"

On auditioning for the female lead in Mr. & Mrs. Smith:

"I don't know if I almost got it (the role), but I certainly put a lot of effort in. They were clearly looking for a certain girl, and you couldn't get more opposite than me and Angelina."

On being down-to-earth:

"I still read a menu and go, 'Look at the price -- I can get that!' I still think, 'I'm in First Class, this is awesome.' It's insane what's going on in my life -- I just can't believe my luck."
