Gwen Stefani and her family have been spending the last week or so on holiday in Mexico and were recently spotted making their grand arrival back in SoCal at LAX airport this week … unfortch for her, tho, hubby Gavin Rossdale was nowhere to be seen and the duty of lugging the children, Kingston James McGregor and Zuma Nesta Rock, fell solely to her:

Aww … poor thing looks a wreck. Even tho she had a nanny with her, Kingston insisted on being carried by his mother — who was already carrying little Zuma. She’s got some pretty adorable children, tho, so I suspect that all of this lugging around was a labor of love for her. It’s great to have the fam back in SoCal once again.

Okay, seriously … no celeb father spends as much time playing with his kids as Hugh Jackman does. While there may be other celeb dads who spend a lot of time with their kids, I can’t think of another who spends as much time playing with his children as Hugh does. Over the weekend, we got to see a few hawt pics of Hugh doing a bit of training with his personal trainer at Bondi Beach in Sydney, Australia and today we get to see a few more pics of the wet and half-nekkid Hugh … but this time, he’s enjoying a day at the pool with his children Oscar and Ava … behold:

Dang … wouldn’t it be amazing to be able to enjoy a playdate with Hugh Jackman? I mean … yeah. Anyways … Hugh’s playtime with the kiddies this weekend wasn’t relegated to just wet fun … he and daughter Ava (dressed as Snow White) spent some time at a local park as well:

All I know is that Hugh Jackman looks like a fun dad. Those kids are very lucky to have him. And we are very lucky to watch them sometimes. Le sigh.

David Beckham and his sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz made their way out to the Staples Center in downtown LA this weekend to take in a LA Lakers basketball game. Here are a few really cute pics of Becks and his boys sitting courtside at the game … it looks like little Cruz (who is prolly Vicki B’s fave kid, for obvs reasons) had to call out his papa for spending too much time checkin’ out the cheerleaders (which we know, Becks is wont to do at Lakers home games):

OOOH, you just know that cute little snitch is gonna tell on Becks’s ass. But seriously, how adorable are these pics of David Beckham and his sons. They each seem to have an aspect of Becks’s personality — Brooklyn has his fashion sense, Romeo has his affinity for hair coiffing and Cruz is just cute like him. I love it when the Beckham men hang out together.

Vicki B. and her youngest child Cruz Beckham ventured out into Beverly Hills, CA yesterday to do a bit of shopping together. As you can see in the pics, Cruz thought it would be a hoot to dress up as Robin (sidekick to Batman — complete with fake muscles) to compliment his mother’s entirely black ensemble … behold:

Seriously, isn’t he the cutest little guy ever? Cruz has an affinity for dressing up in superhero costumes (you may recall that he dressed up as a Power Ranger at his older brother Romeo’s 6th birthday party in September) which I think is adorable. I bet he has a bunch of them hanging up in his closet and gets to wear them whenever he wants. Despite the fact that VB looks like an unfeeling automaton, I suspect she is a really nurturing mother (well, I’m guessing) and that her children are very happy. Sooo cute!

Travis Barker stepped out on the town in Malibu, CA last night to celebrate his 33rd birthday with his children Alabama Luella and Landon Asher (as well as his ex-wife Shanna Moakler) at Nobu. Here are a few pics of Travis and his sleepy son Landon making their way out of the restaurant at the end of the night:

This birthday was prolly especially poignant for Travis considering that he almost lost his life in a tragic small plane accident that claimed the lives of four people in South Carolina back in September. I would imagine that Travis is very happy to be celebrating another year of life with the children that he loves so much. I, for the life of me, cannot understand what it must feel like to survive a deadly plane crash but I do know that I am thrilled beyond words that Travis is not only able to see another birthday but is able to do so looking so well after recovering from his injuries. Happy, happy birthday, Travis … may you enjoy many more birthdays to come.

Pink reader Ash gave me the head’s up that Clay Aiken and his babymama Jaymes Foster made a quick appearance on Dr. Phil this week during an episode devoted to famed music-maker David Foster and his 40-year career in the biz. Despite the fact that I hate everything that Dr. Phil stands for (ie. his misguided charlatan psychobabble and meddling), I thought that it would be worth sharing to show the photo of Clay, Jaymes and their newborn baby boy Parker that was featured on the show:

You may recall that Clay Aiken became a father on August 8 of this year (08.08.08) when his friend and music collaborator, Jaymes Foster, gave birth to his child by artificial insemination in vitro fertilization. You may also recall that just over a month after the birth of his son, Clay came out of the closet and admitted his sexuality on the cover of People magazine. That was the last time we saw what Parker Foster looked like … until now. The little guy is getting so big … and is still SOOOO cute! Again, I’m not much of a Clay Aiken fan but I do commend him for coming out and being honest about who he is … and I do think his baby boy is ADORABLE. Glad to see that this little family is doing so well :)
