What started out as a morning of errands ended up as a parent's worst nightmare, when AS Roma defender Philippe Mexès' vehicle was carjacked with his 2-year-old daughter Eva inside. The incident occured in front of their Italian home when Philippe's wife Carla briefly left the vehicle to carry their sleeping son Enzo, 4, inside.

Immediately contacting the police, a search began for the stolen car -- and more importantly, the baby inside. Fifteen minutes later, the SUV was abandoned by the two men, with Eva still sleeping in the backseat.

A shaken Philippe, 26, who was not present when the incident occured, has been granted the day off from training.

Torispellingpoolside

Readers couldn't get over how cute Liam Aaron McDermott looked sipping juice poolside at the DKNY Beach House with mom Tori Spelling and dad Dean McDermott last Tuesday.  We tracked down Liam's sun suit and discovered it's Snapper Rock One Piece Sun Suit in Blue/White/Brown available for tots three months to two years.  The suit is made out of a mix between Nylon and Elastane which is great for days in the sun all the while giving your on-the-go babe protection, as it blocks 98% of the harmful UVA and UVB rays.

Luckily for the Spelling-McDermott family, the Snapper Rock sun suit also comes in a pink/chocolate/white style -- an adorable option for when their daughter Stella Doreen, 6 weeks, is old enough to soak up the sun. Both colors, plus a third in aqua/white/lime, will run you $35.

It seems as if Liam isn't the only one who is a big fan of Snapper Rock.  Back in March, singer Melissa Etheridge was spotted in Hawaii beaching it with her family -- including son Miller Steven, who was rocking the same sun suit!

Costner Some moments are too good to pass up for father and son, actor Kevin Costner says. When told by Extra that a billboard bearing his image was on display on Sunset Blvd., Kevin's thoughts immediately turned to 14 ½-month-old Cayden Wyatt.  "I'm going to go out there with my 1-year-old and take a picture of it," he said, "He's my guy and I'm in love with him."

Cayden is Kevin's son with wife Christine Baumgartner; in addition, Kevin has three children -- Annie, 23, Lily, 21, and Joe, 20 -- from his first marriage, and Liam, 11, from a previous relationship.

Plainmarykensingtonbabyplaymat When we heard that Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt had placed an order themselves from Plain Mary, we knew we needed to look into this company that we kept hearing about. Turns out Plain Mary is the latest new company making a splash in the celebrity baby world, with celebrities placing orders and receiving gits of the luxurious playmats and embroidered onesies. With good reason- these soft quilted micro-suede machine washable padded mats are super soft and perfect for play, naps, and lounging. Back in April, CBB Writer Jen reviewed their signature Kensington Baby Play Mat, she said that when her daughter Bailey fell on it (she's still working on the whole sitting up thing), she heard nary a thud. Instead, Bailey ran her hands over the super soft mat with a big grin on her face and literally drooled over it!

Plain mary kensington pillow We bet Vivienne and Knox are drooling over theirs too! The latest addition to the Jolie-Pitt family will soon be joining other celebrity twins like Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony's Max and Emme in logging tummy time on their own mats in chocolate, with pink embroidery for the girls and blue for the boys. Jessica Alba's daughter Honor will be napping on her chocolate mat with pink embroidery that family members had sent. Nicole Kidman ordered the Kensington Baby Pillow in white with a pink embroidered "S" for Sunday.

Plainmaryhunksuitcaseset Their embroidered onesies, burp cloths, and bibs are also a hit. Matthew McConaughey' son Levi received the Hunk Gift Set, packaged in a vintage-y suitcase, from Lance Armstrong, while Ashlee Simpson ordered from the Babe line.

Real World: Las Vegas' Steven Hill, 30, and his wife, designer Donna Katz-Hill, welcomed their first child, son Riley James David, back in April. Now three months old, Donna has emailed CBB an update on their little boy, along with some new photos for readers to enjoy. Calling him "an amazing bundle of joy," Donna says she and Steven have been "so blessed' to have such a happy boy. Riley has been busy with his milestones -- cooing and grabbing, especially mom's hair! Since discovering his hands, Riley is no longer interested in pacifiers, preferring to shove his fingers into his mouth, so as you can see, Steven gets use out of them instead! Says Donna,

He's our little monkey and we can't seem to break the habit of him sleeping with us in our bed -- we love him too much!
