He may be a pacifist in real life, but in his new flick Zombieland, Woody Harrelson plays an "AK-toting zombie slayer."

The dad-of-three jokes that the role presented a perfect parenting opportunity, telling Parade magazine, "[My daughters are] into Twilight, so this is a real opportunity for me, as a parent, to try to get them more into zombies and away from vampires."

Woody, who has girls Deni Montana, 16, Zoe Giordano, 13, and Makani Ravello, 3, with his wife Laura Louie, says that when it comes to fatherhood he thinks he's doing a pretty good job.

"It's hard to be objective but I think I am a pretty good daddy. That's what I am told anyway. I am very understanding with my kids. There's nothing they could do that I haven't done. I like to see them do their thing and I don't like to tell them do this and do that, give advice. I am not the one to give advice. They advise me. In fact they teach me. I try to be just a good friend to my kids."

Zombieland hits theaters tomorrow.

Funny man Vince Vaughn says he’s ready to settle down.

The Wedding Crashers star will soon be walking down the aisle himself, having popped the question to Canadian real estate agent Kyla Weber earlier this year.

Vince, 39, says that fatherhood is definitely in the plans, telling People, "It's the first time that I really want to have kids.”

He adds that he thinks it’s time to let his career take a backseat to family: "I've been very fortunate in my career, and my life has been about that for so long that you get bored of it. You're ready for your life to be about other people and other things."

Pal Peter Billingsley, who directs Vince in his new film, Couples Retreat, reveals that he and Kyla are a good match.

"I'm very happy for Vince. He's marrying an amazing girl," He says. "It's a natural cycle of life that we all go in."

Cute times two! Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick's 2-month-old twins Marion and Tabitha were pretty in pink today while out for a stroll with their nanny in New York's Greenwich Village.

Busy mom SJP has been spotted in NYC this week as well as she gets back to work filming the second Sex and the City flick. Sarah Jessica and her Broadway star hubby are also parents to 6 1/2-year-old son James Wilke.

Most of us know actor Greg Grunberg from his roles on tv hits such as Heroes and Alias, but it turns out that acting isn't his only passion. The doting dad-of-three is also an aspiring rock star (he plays the drums for Band From TV, a group of tv stars who play for charity), the founder of the very cool site TalkAboutIt.org that promotes epilepsy education, and the creator of the Yowza iPhone coupon app. Greg recently took time out to talk to Parade magazine about his busy schedule and happy home life with his wife Elizabeth and their boys Jake, Ben and Sam.

On his involvement with epilepsy awareness and education: "It's interesting because I approach it from the father of a child who has epilepsy [son Jake, 13]. I'm incredibly passionate about it. It's made me relate to anybody. Everybody's got something they're dealing with. I mean, I've got cholesterol that I have to watch. This is what we teach our son, don't let it define you, but at the same time deal with it, don't hide it or be ashamed of it."

On being a very proud papa: "My kids are the ones who see another child or person in a wheelchair and walk up to them and go, 'Hey what's the matter? What happened?' It's not like they look out of the corner of their eye and they're scared. They deal with this every day. Like a kid in class who might be autistic, they end up being their best friend. And Jake leads a walk in D.C. with 15,000 people behind him. He's got his arms in the air and he's leading this walk on the Mall and I'm really proud."
