Now that’s a smile!

Busy Philipps brings daughter Birdie Leigh, 3, to Saturday’s premiere of The Muppets, held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.

“Some of the faces that I make I feel like I have ripped directly from my daughter,” the Cougar Town star, 32, told PEOPLE recently.

“She makes unbelievable faces when she’s listening to people talk, sort of scrunched up and not the most attractive faces. I feel like I do impressions of her a little bit when I’m working.”

For years, Connie Britton has been hard at work on her acclaimed show Friday Night Lights and most recently on the new hit,  American Horror Story.

After a three-year long adoption process, the actress’s dream of motherhood came true about a week ago, after she returned from the African country with her son Yoby — a nickname for Eyob, his given name.

“I am thanking my lucky stars every day,” Britton, 44, tells PEOPLE.

“I literally think I kiss him 200 times in a day. It’s not normal!”

Time out with the eldest tots…

Cat Cora and wife Jennifer take sons Zoran, 7, and Caje, 4, to Saturday’s premiere of The Muppets, held at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Calif.

The couple are also parents to sons Thatcher, 2½, and Nash, 2.

“The first thing we thought was, ‘Oh my gosh, there’s going to be tons of hormones in the house,’” the Iron Chef, 43, says of expecting simultaneously with her partner.

“But I think it really did balance out and we just really bonded over it… It was a great experience, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat if we didn’t have four kids.”
