Actress Cheryl Hines is about to take on a brand-new role but she's having just a bit of trouble getting into character. Her stepson, Bobby Kennedy III, and his wife, Amaryllis Fox, are due to have a baby girl in January, yet "I don't know that I want to be called Grandma," Cheryl, 53, exclusively admitted to Closer Weekly with a laugh.

Kennedy Jr., 64. (Photo Credit: Getty Images) "I have a feeling we’re going to have long weekends of babysitting," gushed Cheryl, whose daughter, Catherine, is...

Bobby Kennedy III travels to Italy and finds himself EuroTrapped.
A strange little English-language production from Italy, the comedy film EuroTrapped is written by and stars Bobby Kennedy III, grandson of Bobby Kennedy and grand-nephew of John and Ted Kennedy. Alongside first-time star and writer Kennedy, the film features a notably off-center cast that includes Alec Baldwin (Rock of Ages), Giancarlo Giannini (The Seduction of Mimi) and Eva Amurri (Saved!).
