Music is understandably a frequent theme in the Tennessee home Keith Urban shares with wife Nicole Kidman, and in a new interview Keith says that husband and wife often share a duet! “I love singing with her at home,” the 42-year-old country crooner shares. “It’s quite nice.”

As for whether or not the couple — married since 2006 — will make it official and record a song together, Keith admits it’s not “out of the question,” but adds, “we sort of do our own things professionally.” A daddy-daughter duet could be in the works, however! Keith boasts that Sunday Rose, 16 months, has “got some pipes!”

“They’re loud, you know! I think so. I think she sounds quite musical. Sit her at the piano and play and we mash the keys together.”

Looking forward to the holidays, Keith says that he’ll keep things simple with his New Year’s resolution. “Just to keep choosing love truly,” he reveals.

Matt Damon on the Biggest Realization of Fatherhood

While everyone loves the idea of celebrity dads Ben Affleck and Matt Damon enjoying an occasional playdate with their daughters, Matt says that it is yet to happen. “We’re on different coasts,” he pointed out recently to OK!

Chatting from the premiere for the History Channel’s new documentary The People Speak, Matt said that his family — who recently relocated to New York City — would be heading back to Florida for the holidays. He added that he hoped his political activism would someday rub off on daughters Alexia, 11, Isabella, 3, and Gia Zavala, 15 months.

“The tagline is that Democracy is not a spectator sport,” he notes.

“That’s what I would want, more than anything, my kids to take away. This country is about participation, activism, understanding the history of the country, understanding your place in that history, being involved and being a productive part of the American experience.”

The 39-year-old actor credits “good communication” for his happy marriage to wife Luciana, and says that parenthood has been eye-opening as well. He jokes,

“I never knew I could function this well with no sleep. That was a realization.”

Ben is dad to Violet Anne, turning 4 next week, and Seraphina Rose Elizabeth, 10 months, with wife Jennifer Garner.

As Robin Thicke gets ready to become a father, he can check one item off his to-do list: the baby’s name.

“We like Julian if it’s a boy and Isabella if it’s a girl,” he told PEOPLE Saturday while hosting at The Bank nightclub in Las Vegas.

Robin’s wife, Paula Patton, is due with their first child in May.

“My wife is good,” he said, “I’m just trying to make her as comfortable as possible and hopefully nature will take care of the rest and give us a healthy baby.”

Though this is his first, he’s gotten plenty of advice. “The best advice I’ve got was I’ve been told just to enjoy this moment and it’s the most special time in your life. It can seem stressful and worrisome, but it’s the best time and we’re excited.”

Stanley Tucci Dishes on His ‘Proudest Moment’ As a Dad

Missy — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 13:00:23 +0000

Earlier this year, Stanley Tucci suffered an unimaginable blow when Kate Tucci — his wife of 14 years — died of cancer. In the wake of that loss, the 50-year-old actor has taken over countless duties and in a new interview with WebMD magazine he says that there is one duty in particular he could live without.

“I’d rather be a sous chef at Lutèce than pack those darn school lunches,” he jokes.

“My proudest moment is when I actually get the school lunches packed in time!”

In his upcoming film The Lovely Bones, Stanley portrays a pedophile and murderer, a role he describes as “the hardest thing” he’s ever done.

“I can’t bear to watch anything where kids are getting hurt,” he explains. “I was up in the air about [accepting the role]…It was a challenge, and I like a challenge. I’m glad I did it.”

When it comes to explaining danger to his 9 ½-year-old twins Isabel and Nicolo and daughter Camilla, 7, Stanley says that “a little fear is OK.” He elaborates,

“It’s important for children to understand what they should and should not be afraid of. I worked closely with an FBI guy [for The Lovely Bones], and he would tell his own kid: ‘See that guy over there?’ He’d pick ‘em out, and tell them exactly what to look for. But ultimately, we all have to keep a close eye on our children.”

The Lovely Bones hits theaters December 11th.
