Some stories for your Thursday afternoon:
Hitching a ride is never a good idea, but in this case we’d make an exception!
In a twitpic posted Tuesday and captioned “picked up a hitchhiker in Colorado,” country star Dierks Bentley shows off his latest — and greatest! — creation, 9 ½-month-old Evalyn ‘Evie’ Day.
Baby girl is the first child for Dierks and wife Cassidy Black.

Nature’s Baby Organics new bubble bath ($13) comes in two divine scents, a lavender scent (to calm and soothe your baby) and a tangy tangerine scent (to perk up your little one).
Made with essential oils and luxurious moisturizers, the bubbles are long-lasting and extremely gentle so they will not dry or irritate baby’s tender skin.
Though you do have to be sure that there is no residue/shampoo/condition/body wash in the water or the bubbles will disappear too fast, the fact that the ingredients are 70% organic and safe makes it worth the trouble.
It was somewhat comforting to know that the bubbles were organic while my son was grabbing handfuls of the foamy bubbles and stuffing them into his mouth like they really were tangy tangerines!
I also love that the bubble bath is paraben-free, SLS-free, 1-4 dioxane-free, synthetic fragrance-free, gluten-free, and vegan, all of which are important for kids with allergies and skin sensitivities. And you can now find the line at Whole Foods and Target!

Love is all you need…? David Duchovny and Téa Leoni — who announced their separation in October but have been working on their relationship — attend a performance Friday of The Beatles LOVE by Cirque du Soleil at The Mirage in Las Vegas.
Accompanied by their children Madelaine West, 10, and Kyd Miller, 7, the actors snacked on popcorn and sang along to their favorite Beatles hits — “Revolution” and “Help” for David — while Téa preferred a performance by solo ballerina Charlotte O’Dowd to “While My Guitar Gently Weeps.”
Afterward, the family of four offered up a standing ovation and mingled with cast members backstage.

She may have stepped away from her acting career indefinitely, but Garcelle Beauvais-Nilon is hardly taking a vacation! “I’m working on actually raising my children,” the actress tells My Fox NY. The mother of 18-year-old Oliver and 21-month-old fraternal twins Jax Joseph and Jaid Thomas, Garcelle admits she is reluctant to leave her life as a stay-at-home mom behind in order to return to the small screen. “That’s really my day job because it’s constant,” she says.
“My husband [Mike Nilon] and I really tried for a very long time to get pregnant so I don’t want to phone it in. I want to be there every moment that I can be.”
Fortunately, Garcelle has found an ideal job that allows her the perfect balance between raising a family and nurturing her career: She recently added jewelry designer to her résumé with the launch of Petit Bijou. “I wanted to do something to sort of satisfy that need while still being home with them,” she explains. The result? A children’s jewelry line, inspired by none other than celebrity babies Suri Cruise and Jessie and D’Lila Combs!
“Kids are so much more fashionable these days…[the necklaces and bracelets] exemplify their personalities [and] sort of express who they are and what they like.”
Despite her joy with motherhood, the 42-year-old laughs that she is always in search of a quick break from her brood. “These days I really am looking for projects that will just get me out of the house, to be honest with you,” she jokes. Although she delights in short trips to New York City where she enjoys the freedom of catching a quick play before returning home to her family, for now, Garcelle is content to devote herself to her boys. “If there’s a great project that I really want to do, then that’s when I’ll go back to work,” she says.

For Jennifer Lopez‘s surprise 40th birthday party last Saturday, husband Marc Anthony wanted her to have everything (and everyone) she loves, including her 17-month-old twins Maximilian ‘Max’ David and Emme Maribel. The evening started with a surprise Look Who’s Talking-style video starring the babies, who toddled around their Long Island manse as a voiceover said,
“Mom, we want to come to the party. Mom, I can’t believe we are not there.”
In another scene, the twins were seen “talking” on the phone. Then, Max got into his car seat and tried to buckle it, as the voiceover said, “Buckles are too hard for me.” After brother and sister were shown trying to climb out of their cribs, one was seen typing at the keyboard as a voice said, “Let’s Twitter Mom and figure out what she is doing.” At the end, Max, dressed in a tuxedo with a red bow tie and Emme, in a pink party dress, were seen running down the hallway screaming “Here we come Lola” — Marc’s pet name for Jennifer.
As the birthday girl watched the video, laughing, the lights went out and Max and Emme came out onto the stage dressed in the very same outfits. “Like they had just run out of their house to the party,” party planner Liberty Woodman of Lady Liberty Catering & Event Planning tells PEOPLE. “Jennifer was in shock.”
“It was one of her favorite parts. She was surprised and very happy. She said, ‘These are my babies.’”
After their late night appearance, the twins went back to the hotel where the family had a suite. Five hours later, after a night of non-stop music and dancing, “Lola” and Daddy called it a night and joined them.

Songstress/author Geri Halliwell and a very determined Bluebell Madonna, 3, push and pedal their way through Hampstead in London, England on Tuesday.
These outings are every bit as enjoyable for mother as they are for daughter!
Geri recently said she considers herself “quite child-like,” and has enjoyed a second childhood of sorts since welcoming Bluebell, adding,
“I love the innocence, the creativity; that gets so lost in the cynical world we live in.”
