Will You Buy Jerry O'Connell's Book on Parenting?
If you didn't love him as Vern in Stand by Me or as Cush in Jerry McGuire, now might be the time when Jerry O'Connell wins your heart. The father of twins Dolly and Charlie has been a stay-at-home dad while his leggy wife, Rebecca Romijn, has been hard at work on her new sitcom Eastwick.

When a baby boy discovers his penis, parents like to joke that he takes after dad.

Would You Buy a Parenting Book From a Real Housewife?
When the Really Scary Housewives of New York City aired last Spring, most of you were appalled by the women's parenting skills.

We've now heard that Alex, and her husband Simon, are co-writing a parenting book based on their experiences with their own tots.

Thoughts on the High Glitz: Glamourous or Heinous?
