Fame

Hitchin’ a ride!

Walker Nathaniel Diggs gets a lift from dad Taye Diggs while enjoying a day at the farmer’s market with mom Idina Menzel on Sunday in Los Angeles.

The 11-month-old is the only child for the Private Practice star and his wife, who recently appeared on Glee.

What do the pair call their son? “Skywalker, Walkman, Walkathon, and Little Papa,” Diggs, 39, laughs.

But their favorite is Swirl, “because he’s chocolate and vanilla swirl … and then on the back of his head he’s got a little swirl.”

Christina Applegate Picks Her Parenting Style

Tonya Wise/London Ent/Splash News Online

What kind of mom will expectant Christina Applegate be? A mix!

“I’ll probably be a little bit hippie and a little bit Type A,” the actress, 38, told PEOPLE at Tuesday’s Los Angeles premiere of Going the Distance, which she attended with fiancé Martyn Lenoble.

“I’ll take from what my mother did, which was way hippie and like ‘Do what you wanna do,’ and bring some things that I know from watching my friends raise their kids. An amalgamation of sorts.”

INF
