Huddle up!
Georges Marini, 10, puts an arm around dad Gilles Marini at the Assassin’s Creed 2 gifting lounge, held in Los Angeles, Calif. on Thursday. The pair played video games together – we wonder who won?
Dancing With the Stars alum Gilles, 33, is keeping busy with television roles this fall — in addition to a part on Brothers & Sisters, the French actor stops by Nip/Tuck for a two-episode stint starting Wednesday.
Gilles and wife Carole are also parents to daughter Juliana, 3.

We have to admit, we’re loving Suri Cruise‘s fab footwear collection. From her chic heels to her cute sneakers, this mini fashionista has got it all.
Recently, we spotted her wearing a stylish pair of purple ballet flats. After some digging, we found out they are by Maloles — a Paris-based brand of must-have flats and more!
Her specific style — the Celia ($162) — is made of super soft suede and sports a pretty satin bow on the heel.
Suri’s also wearing Juicy Couture‘s adorable Preppy Striped Cardigan (now $42, originally $94) in pink/grey, as well as, the Highlighter Baby Rib Skater Tank Dress ($22) in pink and Shiny Legging ($25) in lamé silver from American Apparel.

In better-late-than-never news, Flight of the Conchords star Bret McKenzie is a first-time dad. The 33-year-old singer and actor welcomed daughter Vita with wife Hannah three months ago, he reveals to the New Zealand Herald, and has been “figuring out fatherhood” ever since. He quips,
“Um, I’ve got a lot of room to improve. It seems like it’s quite a long-term commitment.”
Baby girl has already shown that she’s up to the task of being a celebrity baby, however, having flown with Bret and Hannah to the Emmy Awards in September. “She was amazing,” the proud papa raves. “She was handing out the lollies and everything and she can’t even hold anything yet.”
Fans of the cult-smash HBO show shouldn’t get their hopes up that Vita will make an onscreen appearance, however. Adds Bret,
“No. It wouldn’t be a My Two Dads situation.”

Each working actors in the industry, Jerry O’Connell and wife Rebecca Romijn have no problem providing for their fraternal twin daughters Charlie Tamara Tulip and Dolly Rebecca Rose, 10 months. That said, if the stars align, Jerry — noting that his girls are Capricorns — jokes that the tables will soon be turned!
“It means that they’re going to be independently wealthy, so I’m hoping they can make some money and help fund my horse racing habit. Note I said habit and not addiction,” the doting dad, on hand to celebrate the 2009 Breeders’ Cup World Championships, laughs.
Although they may be twins, Charlie and Dolly’s personalities are like night and day, Jerry notes. While one twin is “go with anything, you put her down, she’s cool with it,” her sister makes sure her needs don’t go unnoticed!
“One is just a little more demanding, and wants her way,” he explains to Celebrity Baby Blog. “If you have something shiny near you, she wants it and if you don’t give it to her she’s very upset.”
And while he’s more than willing to dish on his girls, Jerry stays mum on which twin possesses which personality!
“I just shouldn’t say, but one is a little more diabolical than the other one, but I like that…it shows spunk.”
With Jerry a stay-at-home dad by day and law student by night and Rebecca wrapping up work on the just-canceled Eastwick, alone time is a rarity. Fortunately, the couple call in the troops — both sets of grandparents! — on occasion to lend a helping hand.
“We throw the kids at them and then we’ll take off for a couple of hours and go out to dinner,” Jerry shares.
“Sounds pretty tame, but when you have kids, you can’t fly off to Bora Bora for a weekend. Even a quiet dinner at Chili’s away from the kids is just — I love them! — [but] it’s a relief!”
