Elvis Costello Strolls With Sons

WENN

Singer/songwriter Elvis Costello was spotted out strolling with his 2 ½-year-old fraternal twin sons Dexter Henry Lorcan and Frank Harlan James last Friday in London.

With musicians for parents, Diana Krall says the boys have their own thoughts on mom and dad’s tunes!

“They have strong opinions on what songs they like, that’s for sure. If they don’t like something, they tell you to stop. They’re a tough audience sometimes.”

Liev Schreiber, Sons Bond Over 'Straight Up Boys Stuff'

Boys will be boys! At least according to actor Liev Schreiber, father of Alexander ‘Sasha’ Pete, 2, and Samuel Kai, 10 months, who tells Us Weekly that the trio’s quality time spent together is, more often that not, nothing more than good old-fashioned male bonding.

“We like dinosaurs a lot. We like to draw. We like cars. Pretty much straight up boys stuff.”

While Liev certainly knows how to have a good time with his sons, he admits when it comes to more domestic areas — like searching for the perfect Halloween costumes — he finds himself in uncharted waters.

Fortunately his fiancée, actress Naomi Watts, takes the lead without missing a single beat. “Naomi pretty much takes care of costumes,” he says. “She’s great at that.”

Next up for Liev is the action film Salt — due out in theaters in 2010 — costarring Angelina Jolie.

Mark Wahlberg Confirms Baby No. 4 Is a Girl

Ramey

It’s an equal-opportunity family for Mark Wahlberg, who’s expecting his fourth child with wife Rhea Durham.

“I’m having another girl,” Mark told PEOPLE at GQ’s The Gentleman’s Ball at New York’s Edison Ballroom on Wednesday. “So I’ll have two girls and two boys.”

But four is probably enough for the Boston native, 38.

“I’m the youngest of nine, and my dad has a few others. No, four is enough,” he said. “We were all raised with a lot of love. But we didn’t get the kind of attention I think that we all needed. My parents had to provide to put food on the table. My mission in life is to raise my kids right. With all the success I’ve had in the world, if I fail at that, my life means nothing.”

Still, Mark says he’ll leave family planning up to Rhea, a former model.

“My wife is allowed to pick the magic number … as many as she wants to have,” he said. “What I want to do is I want to raise my kids right. I want to give them the world, but I also want them to appreciate it.”

As it is, brother Jim Wahlberg said he suspects Mark’s clan will continue to grow. “He’s good to go! He ain’t stoppin’,” said the sibling. “He’s got beautiful kids.”

Mark and Rhea are parents to Ella Rae, 6, Michael, 3 ½, and Brendan Joseph, 13 months.
