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. In his downtime, the actor turned author and penned a book titled, "Cry, Feed, (Make Love to Wife), Burp."

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.
