Reese Witherspoon may be a Hollywood star, but she's a devoted mom to Deacon (5) and Ava (9). - Leo-Lins/X17online.comIt's that time of year when we all start planning what we're going to do for the holidays. Unfortunately, if you're a parent and a divorcee, this can be tricky. How do you split up your kid's time between mom and dad? Reese Witherspoon has to share her two children -- Ava (9) and Deacon (5) with ex-hubby Ryan Phillippe. So how does she deal?

"I think the most important thing is to be a grownup and not let any kind of feelings affect how you deal with your children," she tells People magazine. "I'm very lucky in that we raise our kids to just be happy. I think the most important thing is the children. What do they want, what makes them feel comfortable?"

Ironically, the 32-year-old actress has been busy promoting her new film "Four Christmases" (in theaters nationwide on November 26), which focuses on the challenges that blended families face. Check out the trailer:

In the latest issue of Parade, Reese notes that since both she and Philippe grew up in

Halle Berry and her sweet baby girl Nahla relax at the playground. - Revolutionpix/INFphoto.comSome say that two beautiful people don't always necessarily make a beautiful baby, but Oscar winner Halle Berry and her model boyfriend Gabriel Aubry certainly did!

Halle took her gorgeous 6-month-old daughter Nahla to a park over the weekend where they played to their hearts' content. I must say that the "X-Men" star looks happier than I've ever seen her. In spite of her stunning beauty and success as an actress, Halle's personal life hasn't always been exactly perfect, so it's nice to see that she's finally found happiness with Gabriel and as a mom.

Pamela Anderson's son Brandon is a surfer boy. - Mariotto/X17online.comWhile most of the country was braving snow and rain over the weekend, Pamela Anderson and her kids (with ex-hubby Tommy Lee) were soaking up some California sunshine. The former "Baywatch" babe hit up a Malibu beach with sons Brandon (12) and Dylan, who turns 11 today! Although it wasn't exactly warm enough for Pam to sport a bikini, she still showed off her curves nicely in a pair of skintight jeans. It must be weird having a mom that hot!

Check out more pics of Anderson's day at the beach over at X17 Online.

Tori Spelling takes a break from filming to spend some quality time with her hubby, Dean McDermott, and their two kids, Liam and Stella. - INFdaily.com Apparently, Tori Spelling is going to be making an appearance on "90210." It's about time! As a fan of the original series, I can't believe Donna Martin wasn't a part of the cast when the new version premiered back in September 2008.

At any rate, the actress reportedly took a break from filming scenes for an upcoming episode in Venice Beach, California, the other day. Tori spent her downtime on the playground with hubby Dean McDermott and their two little munchkins, Liam and Stella.

Despite getting to hang with her family, Tori looked a little cranky in her all-black ensemble and fringed suede boots. Maybe it was the invasive paparazzi or perhaps her hairstyle? "Donna's" feathered coif seems more appropriate for an episode of her late father Aaron Spelling's show "Charlie's Angels"!

Brooke Shields opens up about being a mom to her two daughters Rowan (5) and Grier (2) in the December/January issue of Cookie. - Matthew Hranek/CookieAlthough model/actress Brooke Shields has led a life that most folks can only dream of, there is nothing the former face of Calvin Klein and star of such controversial flicks as "Pretty Baby" and "The Blue Lagoon" would rather do than mother her two beautiful daughters, Rowan (5) and Grier (2).

Of course, that wasn't always the case. Brooke experienced severe postpartum depression after giving birth to Rowan in 2003, which she eventually overcame thanks to antidepressants. Shields was extremely open about that experience in her book "Down Came the Rain" -- remember when Tom Cruise had the nerve to criticize her on the "Today" show and suggest that she should have treated her depression with vitamins instead? -- and is now in a much better place. In the new issue of Cookie, Brooke happily notes that motherhood makes her feel "normal."

The actress recalls attending a weekly service one morning at Rowan's Manhattan school and watching all of the children file into the chapel quietly. "I

Marcia Cross' daughter Eden rocks some green Mardi Gras beads at a local grocery store. - Splash News"Desperate Housewives" star Marcia Cross brought along her adorable twins when she and hubby Tom Mahoney went shopping at a local Brentwood grocery store. Their 20-month-old fraternal twins, Eden and Savannah, got to pick out some cereal and other treats.

It looks like mom knows how to dress her little redheads. Both looked cute as can be in pink and green ensembles. How sweet!

Moses Martin seems to have inherited his mother’s sense of style! - Eaglepress/INFphoto.comSorry, Gwyneth Paltrow fans, but she's always struck me as a bit ... um ... bland.
 
She's a good actress and very pretty, but not in an "I want to buy that magazine because she's on the cover" kind of way. 
 
However, something about the 36-year-old changed around the release of "Iron Man" this summer. It's as if she (or her stylist) decided to turn things up a notch. She started shortening her hemlines, making daring fashion choices, and showing a sexy confidence.
 
Now, it appears as if Gwyneth's brought a little bit of that red carpet glam to her everyday life. She's always been a doting mom to Apple, 4, and Moses, 2, and eschewed living in Hollywood for a quieter life in London. But quiet doesn't necessarily mean boring. We spotted her rocking a tailored navy jacket, dark skinny jeans, and leather riding boots while out on a walk with her son.
 
Even little Moses has upped his look, donning shades, a puffy jacket, and Crocs.
 
Next up for the actress is the "Iron Man" sequel, which is sure

Comedians Costaki Economopoulos and Caroline Rhea are the proud parents of a baby girl. - Gregg DeGuire/WireImage.comCaroline Rhea is a mom! The former "Biggest Loser" host and her longtime boyfriend, Costaki Economopoulos, welcomed their first child into the world on Monday. According to People, the couple originally considered giving their daughter a Greek name, but ultimately decided on Ava Rhea Economopoulos. "We wanted the shortest first name possible, since her last name is the alphabet," laughs Caroline, 44. "It was either that or Emmy, because I've always wanted an Emmy."
