We already knew that Ashlee Simpson was a cool mom based on the fact that she always seems so happy when she's seen hanging out with her little one, Bronx Mowgli. But when you dress your toddler in A Tribe Called Quest T-shirt and cutoff shorts, you should win a parenting award. Or several parenting awards.

Ashlee took Bronx out for a walk at the Tree People park in L.A. yesterday, and it looks like she's already teaching her son the importance of dressing to impress. Bronx's A Tribe Called Quest T-shirt is definitely a statement. It says to the little toddler girls he might be cruisin', "Yo, lemme teach you about the legendary '90s hip-hop group who revolutionized the entire genre, focusing on abstract philosophy and message tracks instead of the hard-core gansta rap style that was popular at the time. After that, I'll let you decide -- can I kick it?" Use that line for the rest of your life, Bronx. Gets 'em every time!

Ashlee Simpson and her boyfriend Vincent Piazza took Bronx for a walk at the Tree People park in Los Angeles, Calif. on Wednesday (January 18). Bronx, 3, wore A Tribe Called Quest t-shirt and cut off jean shorts. Soon the curly-haired cutie will have a cousin to play with! His aunt Jessica Simpson is due in the Spring.

As for Ashlee, it looks like her love life is going strong. The couple have been dating since last June and made their public appearance together at the season premiere of his HBO show Boardwalk Empire. Piazza has been coy on talking about his relationship with Ashlee. He has said, "Saying [how I feel] publicly would only diminish it between the two of us...She's a wonderful girl."

Remember back in 2004 when Ashlee Simpson appeared on Saturday Night Live and a prerecorded vocal track started playing before the "singer" put the microphone to her mouth? Hilarity ensued! Intel's Mooley Eden, who runs the chipmaker's PC unit, experienced a similar embarrassing moment on the stage this week at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas (video below).

The executive was demonstrating to attendees the awesomeness of Intel's new ultra-thin computers, which are supposed to be superior to all those other lame laptops in terms of gaming graphics and response times. To prove this, Eden loaded "F1 2011," a racing game based on last year's Formula One season.

The live demo was going swimmingly, until it stalled. And then attendees, much like the SNL audience watching Simpson, realized it was all a fake, thanks to the plainly visible playback bar briefly appearing at the bottom of the computer screen, a dead giveaway that the "live demo" was not live at all -- even though Eden was going through the motions of pretending he was driving his race car on stage using a steering wheel -- but a previously recorded game being played back to trick viewers into thinking they were watching the real thing as it happened.

When Simpson got caught out, she shamelessly tried to blame the fakery on her band -- "I'm so sorry, my band started playing the wrong song" -- which, for the record, actually kept playing live because they're real musicians.

Eden attempted some similar blame-shifting, asserting that the game was being played live by someone offstage. Which really doesn't go a long way toward explaining the playback bar. Later the company said the recorded game was supposed to be a back-up to the live demo. But why would the "back-up" appear on the CES screen instead of the live game? And why didn't Eden catch it right away and start up the actual game?

Intel's Ivy Bridge ultranotebook may indeed be capable of playing graphics-intensive games, but you wouldn't be able to tell from the fake CES demo, which was the equivalent of lip-synching. It's always best if tech companies play it straight with people, especially in a crowded room at a major show. Intel should just 'fess up and admit the obvious: This live-performance snafu was the fault of Ashlee Simpson's band.

Although Pete Wentz and Ashlee Simpson are divorced, the drama is reportedly not over. A divorce is hard in any situation, but when children are involved, it becomes even harder and the two have a 3-year-old son, Bronx.

Both of the singers have gone their separate ways, but RadarOnline reports that Ashlee is not happy with Wentz's new girlfriend. No, she isn't jealous that the rocker has moved on with model Meagan Camper, rather upset with how well Bronx has taken to her. According to the source, Bronx refers to Meagan as 'me-ma' which suspiciously sounds like toddler talk for 'mom'. At least, Ashlee thinks so and doesn't want Bronx around her as much, in case things would happen to go south and the two would split.

Of course, any mother would be concerned about the number of people coming in and out of their child's life, but Simpson herself is also guilty of exposing her child to a significant other. Simpson is dating (and reportedly living with) Vincent Piazza.

While it is hard to hear your child refer to someone else as 'mom' or 'dad', it seems that both Simpson and Wentz have the best interest of Bronx in mind as they haven't been jumping in and out of relationships. Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz were officially divorced shortly before Thanksgiving, although the public didn't find out until early December.

Looking to relax and get pampered, Ashlee Simpson was spotted at Bellacures in Burbank, California. The “Pieces of Me” songstress looked to be in good spirits as she made her exit after her mani-pedi appointment, sporting a grey fedora, red and black sweater, and grey trousers.

During her recent appearance on the “Rachel Ray” show, Ashlee and her sister Jessica chatted about their upcoming clothing line. Additionally, Jessica shared that pregnancy has made her extra emotional. “I felt [the baby] move the other day for the first time and I had big crocodile tears. It was the coolest thing ever. It did a flip or something. I was like, ‘There it went. It’s there, it’s really there.’”

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz are finally, officially over — the couple's divorce was finalized by a judge in Los Angeles on Nov. 22, according to court documents reported on by TMZ this week. The couple is keeping the exact terms of the divorce confidential, per the Associated Press. Though a 103-page agreement has been drafted, it will only be filed if a dispute arises later.

Since the agreement isn't public, details concerning the custody of the couple's 3-year-old son, Bronx Mowgli Wentz, are unclear. When the couple filed for divorce in February, Simpson sought primary custody of the boy, with visitation rights for the former Fall Out Boy bassist. Wentz responded that he was seeking joint custody.

Upon filing for divorce, the couple had cited "irreconcilable differences." At the time, sources told TMZ that Wentz had tried to talk his wife out of filing papers but that Simpson had wanted out of their nearly three-year marriage for some time because she could no longer handle the rocker's alleged "erratic behavior."

Ashlee Simpson and Pete Wentz's divorce has been finalised. According to legal documents filed in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the couple - who split in February after three and a half years of marriage - formally ended their union on November 22.

However, TMZ reports details of the pair's divorce settlement are being kept under wraps, and it is unclear who will be given primary physical custody of the couple's three-year-old son Bronx.

Ashlee and Pete are also believed to have worked out a "secret deal" regarding the division of their other assets and multi-million dollar empire.

The former Fall Out Boy rocker previously admitted he and his estranged wife were working together to make sure they make home life as "easy as possible" for Bronx. He said:

"Everything at home is good. We try to make his life as easy to navigate as possible and he's growing up so it's important for everyone who loves him to be involved with his life."

They're home! Ashlee Simpson and son Bronx, 3, arrived at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on Sunday (December 4) after spending some time in New York City and Toronto, Canada. Little Bronx was rocking a Batman tee while mom was her usual fashionable self in skinny jeans, a fur-trimmed cardigan and what appeared to be platform hiking boots.

Ashlee was in Toronto with sis Jessica to attend an event for their new tween fashion line, Jessica Simpson Girls. Apparently the siblings liked collaborating so much on this project that they've decided to also launch a maternity and baby line.

Interestingly enough, it was the girls' mom who first suggested the two team up on a clothing line. “My mother thought it would be great to combine both of our styles, both of our personalities,” Jessica Simpson said. “But it feels like we always work together!
