Washington, Sept 11 (ANI): Singer Ashlee Simpson-Wentz says yoga has helped her bond with her nine-month-old son.

Contactmusic quoted her as saying: “Your body is changing, and it’s such an amazing time to feel that connection. I did prenatal yoga, which was a nice way to mellow down and focus on me and Bronx. Being pregnant was the healthiest I’ve ever been in my life. Except for the cupcakes!”

The 24-year-old star said the nine-month pregnancy prepared her for motherhood, which she calls “empowering”.he told Redbook magazine: “I’ve grown up so much. The great thing about being pregnant is that you have nine months and it really does prepare you.

“Being a mom’s so empowering and incredible. I’m one of those people who believes that life brings things to you at a certain time for a certain reason, and if you just go with it, that’s where the best moments come from.” (ANI)

‘Renee Zellweger meets Bradley Cooper’s parents’

Washington, Sept 4 (ANI): Renee Zellweger’s relationship with Bradley Cooper seems to be heating up, for the actress has met his parents.

The couple was first snapped out in public together last month (Aug09), when Zellweger and Cooper escaped for a low-key break in Barcelona, Spain.

However, after coming back, the ‘Hangover’ star whisked Zellweger off to his native Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to introduce her to his mum and dad.

“Brad and Renee drove from New York to Philly so he could show her off to his parents and old friends. They fell in love with her,” Contactmusic quoted a source as telling National Enquirer.

“Renee poured on her Texas charm, even arriving with flowers and a box of cupcakes she picked up at a local bakery for his parents.

“Hours after the visit, Bradley’s family was on the phone with him, gushing about Renee,” the source added.

Cooper is planning to move from Los Angeles to the Big Apple to be closer to his new girlfriend.

The insider adds, “Bradley is already talking about putting down roots in New York, where Renee lives. They just seem happy to have found each other.” (ANI)

Katy Perry celebrates LA homecoming gig with food fight!

London, Sept 1 (ANI): Singer Katy Perry celebrated her LA homecoming gig with a messy food fight.

The ‘I Kissed A Girl’ hitmaker returned to Los Angeles after touring in Europe.

She played a successful show at the Palladium in Hollywood last weekend before heading to the W-Hood nightclub for an afterparty with friends and members of her entourage.

However, her afterparty turned messy at the end of the evening as Perry and her pals indulged in a massive food fight with a tray of cup cakes from fashionable U.S. bakery Crumbs.

Biden bearing brunt of Obama’s ‘non-jokability’!

Chicago, Apr 19 (ANI): Since US President Barack Obama is hard to mock, jesters are turning their aim to Vice President Joe Biden.

If you’re wondering why Obama is “non-jokeable”, well it could be that jokers are reluctant to riff on a man they admire, or he’s simply a “no-joke making” human being.

“As a comedian, I’m gonna miss President Bush. Because Barack Obama is not easy to do jokes about. He doesn’t give you a lot to go on. This is why God gave us Joe Biden,” The Chicago Sun-Times quoted American TV host Jay Leno, as saying.

According to David Letterman, Biden’s most important responsibility is to pick up Obama’s daughters at school.

As far as Craig Ferguson is concerned, the Scottish-American television host says Obama gave Biden 12 cupcakes for the vice president’s birthday – “which is a smart gift to give Biden because when his mouth is full of cupcakes he can’t say anything stupid.”

Former Second City member Jason Sudeikis, on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live,” portrayed Biden as, in the words of one critic, “a contained lunatic.”

Sudeikis has said he developed his impersonation by “watching a lot of YouTube,” but mainly his impersonation is “all teeth.” (ANI)
