Gwen Stefani in Russian Radiation Scare

Although you probably wouldn’t associate Gwen Stefani with Russian spies, a bizarre spy-who-carried-radiation story pulled the singer into its periphery. While in Toronto promoting her new solo disc, The Sweet Escape, Stefani learned she and her baby, Kingston, may have been exposed to radiation during a British Airways flight last week. The airline admitted they found on some of their jets traces of the radio-active material that killed a Russian spy.

Uh, yeah, for real, she better hope not; former Russian spy, Alexander Litvinenko, ended up with alpha radiation from polonium-210. Before his radiation-poisoning death on November 23rd, the radiation passed through his body to various people and places throughout London. He may have transferred the highly toxic substance to someone who later boarded the airplane. Despite this, officials claimed the health risk to the public is low; polonium-210 must be ingested to be dangerous, so unless Stefani was chewing on her fellow passengers, she’s probably ok.
