Kevin Dillon and Family At Home

Entourage star Kevin Dillon, who’s currently appearing in Hotel For Dogs, recently sat down with PEOPLE to talk work, family and to show off his Malibu home. Three things we learned from the proud papa:

1) He’s a softie: “When Ava [now 2 ½] was born, he cried like a baby,” says wife Jane. “He’s got a very big heart.”

2) He wants more kids: Besides Ava, Kevin is also dad to 18-year-old Amy, from a previous relationship. “I hope [we have more children]. I always thought that I would have thousands of them, and two is definitely not a bad start. But at some stage, you kind of want to retire.”

3) He loves his daughters’ special bond: “There’s a big gap, but there is nothing that makes me happier than to see Ava and Amy together,” Kevin, 43, explains. “Ava calls her ‘May-me,’ and it’s adorable. They really love each other and I love to see that.”

Halle Berry Says Love For Nahla is 'Real'

Bauer Griffin

Halle Berry is in love and she’s not afraid to tell the world. Completely head over heels for her daughter Nahla Ariela, Halle tells Essence magazine during her photo shoot that the profound feelings for her daughter are uncharted waters for the new mom. Sharing that it’s “a different kind of love” than those of the past, the 42-year-old reveals she would stop at nothing to protect her baby girl.

“I thought I loved before, but no, I was just playing around. This is like, what real love…I mean I would take a bullet for this child and think nothing of it.”

Despite almost 11 months having passed since the actress welcomed her first child with supermodel Gabriel Aubry, Halle’s amazement over her baby girl seems to grow stronger every day. Confessing “not a day goes by that I don’t learn something new about myself,” the proud mama is excited by the opportunity to relive her life through Nahla’s world. “I see everything for the second and third time,” says Halle, adding, “I get to recapture my childhood and the wonder of what life is all about.”

Angie Harmon Isn't Counting the Calories

These days, Angie Harmon is all about the calories! With her worries of sibling rivalry among her three daughters put to rest, the actress is focusing all her attention on satisfying her hearty appetite. For the 36-year-old, keeping those hunger pains at bay means filling up on plenty of protein. “Right now, I’m literally eating every piece of meat that I see,” she says. “I have a hamburger at lunch, and I make pot roast, anything with meat in it.”

Putting those extra calories to good use, a tired Angie shares she is nursing her 8-week-old daughter Emery Hope. “I’m breastfeeding and I’m exhausted!” While nursing may account for much of the actress’ weight loss, Angie admits that there are other factors working in her favor as well.

“I mean, genetically, I’m a skinny girl so it’s not hard for me.”

Angie and her husband Jason Sehorn are also parents to Finley Faith, 5, and Avery Grace, 3 ½. Angie will return to the small screen this spring with a guest spot on Samantha Who?.

Clive Owen Says Daughters 'Hit Him Up' To Call Co-Stars

Jon Furniss/WireImage

Now that Clive Owen‘s daughters — Hannah, 12, and Eve, 9 — are beginning to appreciate the nature of dad’s career, they’re ready to take full advantage! In a new interview with USA Today, the 44-year-old actor reveals that the girls are big fans of Friends and, by extension, Clive’s former Derailed co-star Jennifer Aniston. “[Hannah]‘s like, ‘Call her up, call her up,’” Clive reveals ”I’m not calling her up. What are you going to say to her? They hit me up for weird things like that.” The girls also give their dad “serious grief about doing a children’s movie,” he says, and they enjoy the glitz and glamour of a premiere — even though they’re always forced to make a hasty exit!

“They come to every film. They meet everybody. But they’re not allowed to see the film. Most films I do are not appropriate. When they turn 18, they can watch Closer.”

Now that his next two films, The International and Duplicity, are about to hit theaters Clive is looking forward to some well-earned family time, which includes wife Sarah-Jane Fenton. ”We used to take the family on holidays and adventures, but more and more, I want to go home and stay at home,” Clive explains. “I love getting up in the morning and taking them to school and picking them up and hanging with them.”

“In the last year or two, if I go away for a certain amount of time to make a film, I make sure I have down time at home to keep the balance right.”

The International is in theaters now; Duplicity is in theaters in March 20th.

Parenthood is the Best Job Mayim Bialik Has Ever Had

Adrian Vardenoe/Pacific Coast News

Acting may be what many people know Mayim Bialik for, but what she considers her role as mom to her sons Miles, 3, and Frederick ‘Fred’ Heschel, 6 months, t0 be her most important. “I come from a pretty traditional family so being a parent has always been something I knew I wanted to do,” shares Mayim, who admits that while “I was never a baby crazy person” she and husband Michael Stone “are very dedicated to our kids.”

The couple “love being parents. It’s an incredible responsibility and it’s incredibly challenging but it’s the best job we’ve ever had.” However, Mayim admits that it’s “been very, very humbling” especially since “you get a lot of perspective when you’re doing things at six in the morning other than sleeping.” The former Blossom star considers parenthood to be “a very different kind of job, a different kind of pay, and different kind of training. But, honestly, for those of us that happen to really, really like being parents, it is the best job I ever had.”

“This absolutely fulfills what I feel my purpose is in life, which is to create a generation of sensitive, wonderful people. And at least I’ll do it with two of them and see how I do.”

While Mayim loves her job as a parent and is “mainly working on growing [Fred]” at the moment, she is beginning to feel the itch to perform again. “I just started going in to audition for stuff, which is exciting. I’m getting on my feet after the baby,” she explains. The 33-year-old has performed in comedies and dramas and is “not terribly picky, meaning I’m happy to do television, I’m happy to do film, and I’m happy to do whatever … I’m just getting back into that world and balancing everything.”

Blossom: Seasons 1 & 2 have just been released on DVD.
