Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Rumors
Jay-Z wants yoga lessons from Chris Martin.
The “99 Problems” rapper has been supporting Chris’s band Coldplay on tour and admits that he is envious of the singer’s on-stage flexibility and wants to be able to mimic his movements.
The hip-hop star, who is good friends with Chris and his wife Gwyneth Paltrow, said, “I try and work out four times a week—cardio, weights, push ups, pull ups—but I haven’t for a month because of vacation and touring. Chris hasn’t tried to get me to do yoga yet, but I am close to doing it. I’m envious of what he can do on stage. Watching him is amazing, he can really move. I want to be able to move like that, get my leg behind my ear, things like that.”
The rapper, who is married to Beyonce Knowles, enjoys life on the road but admits he misses his home comforts: “I miss my bed, the comfort of your own bed, there’s nothing like it. I only trust my own sheets. I don’t take my own with me though.”

Matthew McConaughey calls his son “the fruit bandit.”
The 39-year-old actor and his partner Camila Alves, who is pregnant with their second child, came up with the unusual nickname for 14-month-old Levi because he can’t stop eating healthy foods.
Referring to 100m sprint world record holder Usain Bolt, Matthew said, “Levi is doing terrific waiting for his little bro or sis… we had to super child proof the new house because he’s motoring around like Usain Bolt—Camila and I can barely keep up. We call him the fruit bandit ‘cause if there’s fruit out, he’s on it, taking it and eating it. He’s getting bigger, more fun, smarter and craftier by the day.”
Matthew added that the whole family is excited about the new arrival, which is due at the end of the year and have started trying to guess the sex: “Above and beyond all other news, the most exciting thing is my lady Camila and I got another baby on the way… not sure if it’s a boy or girl but we have our instincts… what are you thinking?”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Celebrity Babies, Pregnancies
Ashlee Simpson-Wentz says that yoga helped her bond with her son.
The 24-year-old star, who has a nine-month-old baby, Bronx Mowgli, with husband Pete Wentz, loved doing the low-impact stretching exercises when she was pregnant as it made her feel closer to her baby.
“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!”
Ashlee enjoyed being pregnant, adding that it gave her valuable time to adjust to the way her life was changing: “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.”

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music, Television, Rumors
Cheryl Cole’s mother still makes her packed lunches.
Joan Tweedy, who lives with Cheryl and her soccer star husband Ashley Cole, is keen to ensure her daughter eats properly while filming talent show The X Factor, so sends her off every day with pre-prepared meals.
A source said, “Having Joan on board will make sure there’s plenty of healthy food prepared for Cheryl. She’s making her small packed lunches so Cheryl can have a break during work and make time to eat. It’s very sweet.”
The 26-year-old singer is keen to look her best for the show, as well as for when she launches her solo career in the coming weeks and so has embarked on a new healthy-eating regime. In an effort to maintain her perfect weight of 117lbs, she has started munching on small meals throughout the day so she is always full but never bloated.
The source explained, “I think Cheryl wanted to find a diet that would help her feel good physically and mentally. In the past she’s been criticized for her weight and hated being under the spotlight for it. She seems so much more confident now. No-one is commenting on how skinny she is any more, just how sexy she looks.”
Marathon Woman Madonna
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Music
Madonna is to run a 151-mile, six-day race.
The “4 Minutes” singer is in training for the grueling Marathon des Sables in Morocco, which is due to take place next April.
A source told Star: “She’s always been in great shape, but she is now taking things to a whole other level. She is serious about doing it.”
The 51-year-old star is so keen to triumph she has warned her management to keep her schedule free for the whole month. Madonna is known for her super-toned physique and adheres to a strict eating plan and exercise regime. On occasions she has been forced to defend her ultra-healthy lifestyle and “unwomanly” muscular body.
Madonna, who is dating 22-year-old Brazilian model Jesus Luz, said, “My body is an important instrument as well as my voice. Does working out really help with singing? Yeah, absolutely. Using your diaphragm properly is connected to having good posture. Your body is one organism. You can’t separate it. If you are not in good health your vocal cords will suffer. Everything will suffer.”
VIDEO: Jeremy Piven’s Mercury Excuse Still Stinks
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Television, Videos
If Ari Gold were Jeremy Piven’s agent, I have a feeling he might advise his client to leave his elaborate mercury poisoning stories in the past. Unfortunately, Ari’s not…and Jeremy won’t.
On last night’s Late Show broadcast, the Entourage star - once again - set out to clear his name. Unfortunately, he talked about this thing that “sounds like a rich man’s disease” for nearly 5 awkward minutes. Uggh - move on already and bring me back some crazy Anne Heche!
