Kevin James talks potential baby names and his non-functioning breasts

Since he named daughter Shea Joelle, 4 weeks, after his beloved Mets’ home stadium, Kevin James promised his wife Steffiana De La Cruz first dibs on naming their next child. Her choice, though, may skew more towards entertainment than sports, he reveals on The Late Show with David Letterman.

I told her she can name our next child after something she likes. I think we’re looking at a Grey’s Anatomy coming out.

Kevin and Steffiana also have an older daughter, Sienna-Marie, 21 months, and Kevin says fatherhood the second time around is a lot less nervewracking.

I was so nervous with the first child, taking her home from the hospital and everything and you kinda loosen up with the second child a little bit, which is nice. The first child, I remember they just give it to you at the hospital, you’re supposed to put her in the carseat and drive home. And I was so nervous. I was 10-2 on the wheel in the right lane 30 miles an hour on the highway with the flashers going. Second kid, I had the top down. I was steering with my knees. I think I hit a drive-thru. I didn’t go straight home.

As for being a hands-on parent, Kevin says he gets involved, but is glad he doesn’t have to breastfeed, although Shea might want him to.

My wife does the breastfeeding, thank God. It’s awkward because at night the baby will sleep with us and my wife will leave in the middle of the night right after the breastfeeding and the baby’s still hungry and she’ll roll over and just look at me. I’m like, ‘No, no. These don’t function.’ She doesn’t believe me. She’s just looking at me like, ‘If you don’t want to give me any, that’s fine. Those are bigger than mom’s.’

Steffiana’s breasts were sore for a bit from feeding, and a nurse advised her to stuff a bag of popsicles in her bra to alleviate the pain, an idea of which Kevin approves.

I’m thinking, ‘Wow! Now I really wanna get in there.’ There’s no better combination in the world than a boob and a popsicle.

Tobey Maguire talks fatherhood and marriage on Letterman

Tobey Maguire appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman last nightand mentioned his daughter Ruby, 6 months next week, with fianceeJennifer Meyer. The actor said Ruby is all he thinks about nowadays anddiscussed how his life has changed.

It’s a very dramatic change. My whole life is in transition now withfriendships and where I’m gonna live, you know, just your wholeperspective. It’s great. She’s so adorable. She’s just a smiley, littlebeautiful thing.

In addition to being fathers, Dave also pointed out something else thetwo have in common – neither of them are married. Dave, who has a sonHarry, 3 1/2, with longtime fiancee Regina Lasko, joked that it’s "hardto get away with." Tobey says he’s only been engaged for a year, towhich the host responded with,

Oh yeah, me too. I’ve been engaged for quite a while.

Getting serious, Tobey gave Jen a shout-out and assured that they will tie the knot one day, in a small ceremony most likely.

I just want to say on that subject, I’m very excited to marry Jen and I love you very much.

As for expanding his brood, the Spider-Man 3 star certainly isn’t ruling that out.

That’s a possibility.

Miller Duchovny has an American Idol favorite

If Haley Scarnato doesn’t get voted off American Idol tonight, she may have David Duchovny‘s son, Kyd Miller, 4 1/2, to thank for it. David told David Letterman on The Late Show that Miller has been a fan of Haley’s since David and Téa Leoni  allowed him and sister Madelaine West, 8 on April 24th, to watch the show, although he didn’t initially start out as one.

We decided over spring break cause they’re staying up a little laterthat they could watch American Idol, you know cause…I don’t know why we let themwatch it. And it’s a singing competition, and so my daughter is into it,kinda judging and thinking who’s good.

As for Miller, at first he wasn’t a fan of the show or any contestant at all, which David knew from his seating on the couch or lack thereof.

If there’s a show on that he’s not interested in, he’ll put hishead [in the couch] and put his ass up so his ass is towards the screen andthat’s pretty much when you know he’s into it or not. And all of a suddenthere’s this contestant named Haley Scarnato and she’s very attractivewith long legs and all of a sudden, she caught Miller’s eye and he justturned around, he put his ass in the chair and he looked at her and hesaid, ‘I think I know her!’ And then he said, ‘She’s a really goodsinger!’ It was like America has voted.

Haley isn’t the only woman on Miller’s mind though. David says Miller "wants to marry my wife, which I think is normal at this age." West, though, has other creatures in her sights.

My daughter wants to marry a lion or a monkey. How does that make me feel?

Asked how different he thinks an 8-year-old’s perspective is from a nearly 5-year-old’s, David says,

It’s difficult because I think at every age you start to mastersomething that frustrated you a year or two ago and yet you lookforward to other activities that are frustrating because you can’tmaster them yet. So I think it’s always a mixture of just bliss andfrustration…much like your job.

On a more serious note, David says he thinks it’s every parent’s hope to protect their children from all the bad things in life, although he realizes he can’t always do that.

I think parents just want to keep their children from pain and allthat frustration of growth and it’s hard. You gotta let them do it. Iwas watching this show on John Wooden, the UCLA coach, and he said theworst thing we could do for our loved ones is to do the things theyshould and could do themselves.
