The Internship actor - whose pregnant wife, realtor Kyla Weber, gave birth to the couple's first child, daughter Locklyn, in December 2010 - joked the best thing about being a dad is that Locklyn must pay attention to everything he says.

"It gives me someone that I can sit down [with] who really needs to listen to me. All kids bring their own joy, it's a lot of fun. There's nothing more fun than laughing and playing around with the kids," he said.

Vince, 43, reunited with his Wedding Crashers co-star Owen Wilson, 44 - who has a two-year-old son Ford, with ex-girlfriend Jade Duell - for The Internship and the proud fathers couldn't resists comparing notes about their kids on set.

January Jones Will Keep Son’s Father a Secret

January Jones with her son XanderJanuary Jones says only her son should know who his father is.

The Mad Men actress - whose ex-boyfriends include Ashton Kutcher and Jason Sudeikis - is remaining tight-lipped about the identity of her 20-month-old son Xander's dad and has taken advice from legendary actor Jack Nicholson in how to approach difficult questions about the subject.

When asked to state who Xander's father was, the blonde beauty told The New York Times newspaper, "That's my son's business. It's not the public's business. Jack Nicholson once told me, 'You should never give your personal life away, otherwise people will pick you apart. They'll never believe in your character.'"

January believes women have a right to keep "secrets" and likes the idea of saving unknown information for a future project, such as a journal. "Women should have lots of secrets. It's our right to have secrets. Otherwise, what would we write in our memoirs?" she added.

The "Bleeding Love" hitmaker doesn't know if she'll have kids of her own but is determined to give a disadvantaged child a home after learning about her mum's childhood spent in care. Leona describes her mother Maria as a "hero" for her providing her with a wonderful home and giving her a sense of family unity.

Snooki Ready for Baby Number Two

Snooki and her son LorenzoSnooki is ready to have another baby. The former Jersey Shore star - who gave birth to her first child Lorenzo in August with her fiance Jionni LaValle - has revealed she wants to expand their family as soon as possible and would love to have twins.

The 25-year-old reality TV star - who real name is Nicole Polizzi - told HollywoodLife.com, "l want kids now, actually! Twins. [Twins run] In Jionni's [family], so it could be a possibility. I would love that!"

Snooki - who recently admitted she put pressure on herself to lose the 42 pounds she gained during her pregnancy because she feared Jionni would leave her - is still following her strict diet and fitness plan despite being back to 102 pounds: "I go to the gym seven days a week, I'm on a meal plan. The only thing I eat that I love is ice cream."

She previously admitted she and Jionni found it difficult adjusting to parenthood because of how it has affected their relationship. "It's definitely hard to have alone time, as me and Jionni are parents, and taking care of Lorenzo is all about Lorenzo. Hopefully we'll get that spark back," she said.

Nicole Polizzi: Snooki Is My Alter Ego

SnookiNicole Polizzi feels like Snooki is her "drunk alter ego."

The Jersey Shore star has left her wild days of partying behind her since giving birth to her son Lorenzo last August and admitted she barely recognises herself from her days on the MTV reality TV show.

"I feel like Snooki is my drunk alter ego. When I drink, she comes out and she's crazy and just does what she wants. And at the Shore house, it was a party vibe. That was our vacation and I was living in the moment. But I'm so over partying, I've been doing it since high school. My pregnancy just changed the way I view things. It's not all about being stupid and going out. It's about family and making memories and working out. I take everything more seriously."

Snooki - who is engaged to Lorenzo's father, Jionni LaValle - claims her friends aren't surprised by her transformation: "Some people said, 'I always knew you had it in you.' I just had to mature I guess. I was so used to having someone take care of me and now that I have Lorenzo, I'm doing everything on my own."

The source added to Now magazine, "He read somewhere it's never too early to start talking to your baby and he's taken the advice to heart even though it's not due until July.

The Argo star - who has three children, Violet, seven, Seraphina, four, and 11-month-old Samuel, with his actress wife Jennifer Garner - has admitted he doesn't want them to work in Hollywood because he already thinks they are exposed too much.

However the actor admitted that when his children get older, he will support them if they are interested in learning more about acting: "You know, if you're interested in drama, there's great theatre classes and stuff and that's what's appropriate."


Holly Madison Doesn’t Want Daughter to Pose for Playboy

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Television, Celebrity Babies

Holly MadisonHolly Madison doesn't want her daughter to pose nude for Playboy. The pregnant blonde has stripped off for the men's magazine, which is owned by her ex-boyfriend Hugh Hefner, but she isn't keen on her child following in her footsteps.

"I don't think people are treated with respect in that environment. I'm from a small town and you grow up seeing people like Jenny McCarthy or Pamela Anderson, who made it big after doing Playboy. You think it's this glamorous thing until you realize how much you're judged for it. Luckily kids don't want to be like their parents, so I don't think she'll see anything cool or rebellious about posing for Playboy. I'm down for whatever direction in life she wants to go but I think she can do better."

Holly, 33, is expecting her first child with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella and she is due to give birth in March. The Holly's World star knows she will have to work hard to regain her stunning figure, but she will resist any offers from Playboy to show off her post-baby figure when she is back to her sexy best:
