Brooke Shields: Grier Is Mad About Makeup

Jason LaVeris/FilmMagic

After a childhood spent in the industry, Brooke Shields has made it clear that daughters Rowan Francis, 6½, and Grier Hammond, 4, will not be following in her footsteps — unless those steps lead toward the makeup trailer!

“Every now and then they’ll ask you to put your kids in a fun scene, so I asked and the little one said she would do it,” the actress shared during a Monday appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

“So she went through hair and makeup and got her wardrobe and then refused to do it because all she wanted to do was the hair and makeup. I was like, ‘You’ll never make it in Hollywood!’”

The “polar opposite” of Rowan — who Shields calls a “tomboy, really tough” — Grier prefers princess parties and playing dress up. Her latest obsession? Lipstick, Shields, 44, admits.

“They just called me from New York … and the little one got on the phone and she goes, ‘Mom, do you think I look pretty right now?’ And I’m like, ‘Why are you asking me that?’” she says.

“And she goes, ‘Because I have lipstick on.’ She has lipstick on all the time, that’s all she does.”

Although fans of NCIS characters Special Agent Tim McGee and forensics expert Abby Sciuto often hope the pair will reconnect, actor Sean Murray couldn’t be closer to his real life partner, wife Carrie.

In fact, the Murrays just welcomed their second child — a baby boy — on Thursday.

Son River James Murray was born at 9:46 p.m. April 22 in Los Angeles, weighing in at 7 lbs., 11 oz., and measuring 20 in. long.

He joins big sister Caitlyn Melissa, who turns three next month.

“Carrie and I are pretty Zen’d out right now,” Murray, 32, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “[But we know] our 3-year-old will bring us back to reality soon enough!”

Sean and Carrie, 34, a teacher, were married in 2005.

Blakesley Sutter Celebrates Her First Birthday!

Happy birthday Blakesley Grace Sutter! The daughter of Bachelorette alums Ryan and Trista Sutter celebrated turning one alongside big brother Max, 2½, family and friends at an Alice in Wonderland-themed party, held April 3 at the Sonnenalp Resort in Vail, Colorado.

“Someone asked if I was sad [about Blakesley turning one] and I immediately said, ‘No,’ as I do truly love all the stages of seeing my babies grow up,” Trista tells PEOPLE Moms & Babies. “But her birthday came and I couldn’t help but feel sad … especially since we don’t plan to have any more children. I will miss the baby days, but I am sincerely excited for her future and how bright it is!”

Splash News Online

Out and about on Thursday in New York City, Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted strolling with kids Moses, 4, and Apple, 5½.

The actress didn’t touch down in the Big Apple for long though — by Friday, she was in Los Angeles making the press rounds for Iron Man 2, which hits theaters May 7.

Iron Man was heaven,” Paltrow, 37, said recently. “The kids could come every day. They had their mini Jeep that they drove around the parking lot in front of my trailer.”

Model Josie Maran brought dressed-up daughter Rumi Joon to the Green Lounge Eco Luxury Experience Earth Day Awards, held Thursday in Santa Monica, Calif.

Her 3½-year-old loves princess outfits, Maran told PEOPLE Moms & Babies last year when Rumi accompanied her to an event in a Cinderella dress.

“We got it about a month ago and she hasn’t taken it off,” Maran, 31, laughs. “We’re like, ‘We have to wash it!’”

Rumi is the only child for Maran — who has her own natural makeup line, Josie Maran Cosmetics — and longtime boyfriend Ali Alborzi.
