Looks like Kelis may have a party in her tummy!

The singer brought son Knight, 2, to meet the Yo Gabba Gabba! gang at the Vans x Yo Gabba Gabba shoe launch, held Thursday at Kitson Kids in Los Angeles.

“It’s hard being a working, single mother,” Kelis, 32, has said since her split with Knight’s father, rapper Nas.

“On the flipside, it’s awesome, too. You only have to worry about yourself. It’s only your influence and your ideas. I’m raising Knight how I think he should be raised.”

When it comes to motherhood, Busy Philipps certainly knows how she does it: The actress has learned it’s all about rolling with the punches.

“Becoming a mom allowed me to just relax in a way I never had before,” the I Don’t Know How She Does It star, 32, tells Parents.

“I used to care a lot about what I looked like in public or what people thought of me. I care at least 40 percent less now.”

The sudden change behind Philipps’ perspective on life came following the birth of her now 3-year-old daughter Birdie Leigh.

“I want Bird to see her mom as a woman who is confident and real; not someone who’s always trying too hard,” she says.

Padma Lakshmi: Krishna Is a Daredevil

Britney Joe/Startraks

Sorry Krishna Thea — it looks like Padma Lakshmi is having all the fun without you. The Top Chef host took over Le Poisson Rouge in New York City Sunday and danced to “Get Down Tonight” with a crowd of nearly 200 babies.

“I love to dance, but so do most babies. It’s a fun way to do something you’re used to doing at 11:00 at night at 11:00 in the morning! It’s nice, especially now that the weather is getting colder, to do something active with your baby,” Lakshmi, 41, tells PEOPLE at the Huggies Little Movers Slip-On event.

What gets 20-month-old Krishna moving on the floor? “Anything Beyoncé! I’ll put it on the iPod and she dances to ['Single Ladies'],” she says. “She’s running around and she’s a daredevil.”
