Special Father's Day Edition | Ben Stiller
Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor's daughter, Ella Olivia, just turned 2 in April, so she's too young yet to give us the lowdown on her famous parents (but we'll get her eventually). So for the moment, we had to settle on asking Stiller about his little girl. Is she more like him, or his actress wife (and costar in Dodgeball)? "Christine would probably say she's a lot like me from the reports she's heard from my parents (comedians Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara) about what I was like when I was a kid, which is a frightening thought," he told us at a benefit in Brentwood, Calif., recently. "She's very strong-willed and knows what she wants." As for how he feels about fatherhood in general: "It just gets better and better every day because as they become more of a person, and you can interact with them, it becomes much more fun, at least, I think, for the dad."

Rocker 'Mom'
With his wife, Heather Locklear, on location in Toronto shooting The Perfect Man (with Hilary Duff and Carson Kressley), Bon Jovi guitarist Richie Sambora has taken a new role of his own. "I'm being Mr. Mom right now," says Sambora, who's looking after their 6-year-old daughter, Ava. "It's fantastic. My daughter and I do everything together. She just learned how to ride a bike, and I just taught her how to ride a two-wheeler. No more training wheels."

Daddy Wahlberg
So, how does muscle-bound Mark Wahlberg like being dad to 9-month-old Ella Rae (his daughter with girlfriend Rhea Durham)? It's "amazing. Wonderful. Wonderful, it really is. Everything about it," he told us at a recent Harvard screening of Juvies, a documentary about teens prosecuted as adults, which he narrated. "There's not a thing she could do, nothing I don't like about it. (It makes you) realize your priorities. It's real life. You have to be so involved." Any plans for Father's Day? "(I want to) just hang out with her. I don't want anything or need anything. I just want to hang out with her."

Is Your Dad This Cool?
What kind of a dad is CNN talkmeister Larry King? At a recent gala at formerly notorious New York nightspot Studio 54, he told us: "I took my daughter here when she was 14 years old, and she danced with Mick Jagger. Swear to God."
