NEW YORK Johnny Depp caused quite a stir when he showed up for an appearance on the Late Show With David Letterman. The A-lister had no problems spending time with fans and posing for the paparazzi. Johnny was there to plug his movie “Transcendence”. He also confirmed that the bling he’s been sporting lately on his finger is in fact a woman’s engagement ring. One that didn’t fit fiancé Amber Heard, so he decided to wear it himself. And David Letterman made some big headlines of his own. The 66-year- old late night host announced he’s retiring in 2015. Janelle Monae and M.I.A. teamed up with Audi for a high tech duet that took place at two separate venues, on two opposite coasts - thanks to the use of holograms. M.I.A. performed in New York while Janelle took to the stage in Los Angeles. Apr 5, 2014

Morning sunlight may be secret of staying lean

New Delhi, April 04 (ANI): A new study has revealed that people who are exposed to earlier sunlight are leaner than other people. The study has found that that the timing, intensity and duration of light exposure affects one's weight, as people exposed to even moderately bright light in the morning have a significantly lower body mass index. The study states that light is the most potent agent to synchronize one's internal body clock that regulates circadian rhythms, which in turn also regulate energy balance and about 20 to 30 minutes of morning light is enough to affect BMI. If a person doesn't get sufficient light at the appropriate time of day, it could de-synchronize the internal body clock, which is known to alter metabolism and can lead to weight gain. The study is published in the journal PLOS ONE. Apr 5, 2014
