Check it out Bronx!

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz points out a swimming koi to her 21-month-old son during a trip to the park with husband Pete Wentz last Monday in Beverly Hills, Calif.

Looks like the couple’s little boy wasn’t quite sure what to think! The trio then headed towards the turtles before going home.

No More Mess! Baby Björn Debuts New Spill-Proof Cup

Dining with little ones can be messy, especially when they start drinking from an open-top cup.

That’s why we’re loving Baby Björn‘s My First Cup ($15).

Created for babies 8 months old and up, it’s designed with a wide base that’s rimmed with rubber so it’s hard to tip over and it has an ergonomic shape that’s easy for mini hands to grip.

It’s also made with durable plastics that are BPA- and phthalate-free.

All in all, it makes for a cleaner and easier introduction to cups.

Though, with baby at the table, there’s still no guarantee there won’t be some mess at dinnertime!

Michael Douglas Didn’t Hide Cancer Diagnosis from Kids

When it came to sharing the news of his stage four throat cancer diagnosis with his two youngest children — Dylan Michael, 10, and Carys Zeta, 7 — Michael Douglas felt honesty was the best policy.

“I don’t know what else you would do. It is what it is,” the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps star tells USA Today.

According to the veteran actor, both kids are taking the news in stride — and have even managed to see the positive amidst their father’s grim news.

“They’re happy I can’t talk that much. Sometimes you say, ‘Daddy’s tired.’ Okay, great,” Douglas laughs.

“The kids, yeah, they’ve been fine. I’ve taken them down to the hospital and shown them the whole radiology thing. They’ve watched me actually get zapped.”

Milla Jovovich Says Ever Is ‘Such an Actress’


MAXA/Landov

Actress Milla Jovovich‘s daughter Ever Gabo has been bitten — by the acting bug!

“My mom said the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree … Ever would be such an actress,” the Resident Evil: Afterlife star tells PARADE of her only child with husband Paul W.S. Anderson.

“She’s constantly going, ‘Okay, you be Ever and I’m momma,’ and we have to improvise a scene together with her playing me.”

And performing isn’t the 2½-year-old’s only talent. According to Jovovich, 34, Ever loves to sing — off key!

“You should see her singing, ‘Over the Rainbow,’” she shares. “She has a voice that’s horrific, but the emotion is just so real.”
