Michelle Obama gives wedded bliss to Kate Middleton and Prince William

Having been happily married for 20 years, Michelle Obama is in a pretty good position to hand out marriage advice.

And today, she gave Royal couple Prince William and Kate Middleton the benefit of her wisdom on how to achieve wedded bliss.

'Enjoy! Love each other, have fun - and go on a great honeymoon!' she said in an interview with Good Morning America.

However, the First Lady said that she did not know if she had been sent any 'save the date' notices for the royal nuptials on April 29.

'Not that I know about - but I don't get my mail directly,' she told interviewer Robin Roberts.

But Mrs Obama said she did not necessarily expect an invite.

Just like any couple, they should invite who they want to invite to their wedding,' she said.

'This is a personal, private thing. And I wish them the best.'

Mrs Obama was on the show to discuss her 'Let's Move' physical fitness campaign, to encourage better diet and exercise habits.

She also discussed the recent shootings in Tucson, Arizona, commenting that her presence at the memorial service on January 12 'Gives me energy to do the next thing... It's truly a privilege for me to be doing that kind of stuff.'

And she responded to criticism that she did not choose an American designer for her outfit at the recent China state dinner, opting instead for an Alexander McQueen fiery red gown.

'Wear what you love!' That's all I can say That's my motto,' she said.

Jessica Simpson Wants to Be Michelle Obama

Jessica Simpson is a singer, actress and reality star, but now she has a new goal: She wants to be Michelle Obama.

"I really do," Simpson told PEOPLE before the White House Correspondents' dinner in Washington, D.C., Saturday. "She's such an implausible woman, and she's with such a powerful man."

What does Simpson approve of most about the First Lady? "Everything she does she exudes confidence," says the singer. "I'm really just here to celebrate her."

Simpson was just one among many celebrities who came out for the annual event and mingled at the packed pre-party. Other starts included Sex and the City star Kristin Davis, Michael Douglas and Bradley Cooper.

"It's sort of like Oscar night," mused comedian Bill Maher, who joked: "It's great to mingle with America's real intellectual heavyweights. I saw the Jonas Brothers, Justin Bieber, Jessica Simpson, Ryan Seacrest – I can't wait to talk politics."

Despite all the bold-faced names, the most mobbed star of the evening was teen heartthrob Bieber. "Look at that guy: He's got more secret service than [President] Obama,” quipped Entourage's Adrian Grenier.

Still, the star of the night was President Barack Obama, who got lots of laughs during his speech. "It's been quite a year, " he said. "Lots of ups, lots of downs – except for my approval ratings, which have just gone down."

Obama also poked fun at Tonight Show host Jay Leno, who was in attendance at the event. "I am glad that the only person's whose ratings fell more than mine last year is here tonight. Great to see you, Jay," the president quipped to loud laughter. "I'm also glad that I'm speaking first because we've all seen what happens when somebody takes the timeslot after Leno's."
