When she was asked to serve as a mentor on a new reality singing competition for The Hub, Majors & Minors, Brandy used her own experiences to help relate to the contestants, ages 10-16.

“I was able to bond with them and crack jokes with them because I’ve had the experience of my daughter,” she tells PEOPLE of 9½-year-old Sy’rai.

“Going in there with the intention of being honest and loving, and coming from a place of love, that’s what they took with them and that’s what they connected to. That’s how I raise my daughter. I’m open and honest with her, and that’s all I was with these kids.”

Hittin’ up the leftover candy stash!

Halloween may have come and gone, but Heidi Klum and her pumpkin-toting tot Lou Sulola savor every last bit of the holiday sweets Thursday in Brentwood, Calif.

The model mama and husband Seal — who hosted their 13th annual Halloween bash this year — aren’t the only ones who love the fright fest.

“In our house it’s Halloween all year round. It’s not scary, but [my kids] love dressing up,” Klum, 38, told PEOPLE of the 2-year-old and her siblings Leni, 7½, Henry, 6, and Johan, 5 this month.

It’s not surprising the son of Alicia Keys and mega producer Swizz Beatz would want to follow in their footsteps; It is surprising that Egypt Daoud is already on his way to being a musician and philanthropist.

“He’s on the drums,” Swizz, 33, told PEOPLE Thursday at Keep a Child Alive’s Black Ball, hosted by Keys, the organization’s global ambassador.

“He’s messing with the piano — [Alicia's] practicing and he comes in and adds a couple keys. It’s fun.”

Although the proud father insists the couple would support any of 1-year-old Egypt’s future aspirations — musical or not — Swizz and Keys are more intent on raising a charitable child.

This season Eli Manning‘s sideline cheering squad has grown: The New York Giants quarterback said that 7-month-old daughter Ava Frances loves to watch her dad play football.

“She’s been to two Giants games, we won one, we lost one, but she enjoyed both of them,” Manning, 30, told PEOPLE while promoting his two new custom designed watches for Citizen at Macy’s in New York City on Tuesday.

“It’s getting a little chillier now, so we’ll see if she makes any more or not.”

And while part of Ava’s wardrobe pays tribute to her superstar dad, mom Abby tends to take her daughter’s style in a different direction when dressing her for the events.

It’s a white out!

An expectant Beyoncé — who is due in February — shows off her gleaming smile while running errands in New York on Thursday.

So who can the songstress, 30, thank for her stylish maternity wear? Sister Solange, who is already mom to son Daniel Julez, 7.

“We go shopping together. She’s getting bigger,” Solange told PEOPLE recently. “It’s so fun when you’re actually really showing and you’re able to showcase that.”

The baby will be the first for Beyoncé and husband Jay-Z.
