Fatherhood seems to be agreeing with new daddy Owen Wilson -- and nobody is more surprised than the actor himself.
"I was never like somebody who was like, 'Oh gosh, it's a little baby! Let me hold it,'" Wilson told Access Hollywood.
But since his girlfriend, Jade Duell, gave birth to their son Robert last month, things have changed.
"They’re so fragile, but then when it is your own, all of a sudden you feel a lot more confident," the Hall Pass star revealed. "You really do have this bond, this real connection with this thing that a month ago wasn't even here… It is strange."
As for who the new baby looks like, Wilson's not sure he resembles either parent.
"I don't know if you can say," he explained. "Babies look a lot more like other babies than they ever do like their parents. That’s what I've begun to notice!"
What he does know is, as a new dad, he's surprised by the little things that bring him more joy than he could have ever imagined.
Smiles Wilson: "Their little cries are like beautiful music."

A Hollywood cinema is searching for a print of MJ's 1988 film with plans to give it a 'one night only' screening.

Michael Jackson's short-film anthology "Moonwalker" may finally get a debut theatrical screening in the United States more than 20 years after it was released.
Back in 1988, MJ first unveiled the ambitious project, which contained several long-form videos for songs off his then-just-released Bad album, including his famous 25-minute clip for "Smooth Criminal." The film had been scheduled to be released in U.S. theaters that Christmas, but for whatever reason, that plan was scrapped. The movie was released on VHS early in 1989, and — surprise, surprise — became a massive success. But now, more than two decades after its debut, one theater is planning to give "Moonwalker" a proper premiere here in the States.
According to TMZ, Hollywood's Arclight Cinemas is actively searching for a print of the film, with plans to show it on the big screen ... for one night only.
The idea came after Jackson fans flooded Arclight's Facebook page with requests to show "Moonwalker," and the theater is now on the hunt for a copy of the flick. Even if the search is successful, there's no word on when the premiere would occur. The theater had not responded to MTV News' e-mail seeking a comment by press time.
However, Jackson fans might not want to hold their breath. In a follow-up story, TMZ reported that the late singer's estate had blocked Arclight's attempts to secure a print of the film, with a spokesperson for the theater telling the website: "We contacted the film's directors and producers and were finally directed to MJ's estate attorney [who] let us know the estate has the [film's] rights but have no plans to make ... prints available for rent at this time."
"Moonwalker" features videos for Jackson tracks like "Speed Demon" (directed by Claymation innovator Will Vinton), "Leave Me Alone" (which was released as a promo and won Jackson a 1989 Grammy for Best Music Video, Short Form) and, as mentioned, the iconic "Criminal," which features Jackson battling a group of mobsters led by Joe Pesci.
The flick also served as the inspiration for the super-awesome Sega game "Moonwalker, which featured a digital MJ morphing into a laser-blasting robot with the aid of his chimpanzee pal, Bubbles.

It's NBC's answer to Fox's Glee. That's how TV critics have responded to Smash -- the upcoming musical drama that's being developed for the Peacock network. There's no doubt that Glee has readied TV audiences for Smash, with its ensemble musical numbers springing up here and there. Like Glee, the show will be a scripted hour that features comedy, drama, singing and dancing. And also like that show, it has cast at least one of its characters straight off the Broadway stage. Glee nabbed Broadway stars Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison; Smash has enlisted Megan Hilty -- who's had starring roles in Wicked and 9 to 5.
But this new show, which is exec produced by Steven Spielberg, is shaping up to be a very different animal than Fox's teen-based musical. Smash focuses on the professional world of staging a theatrical musical, from conception to financing to casting and the rest. Its very subject matter -- which goes way deeper than the realm of jocks, cheerleaders and teen misfits -- practically ensures that Smash won't be just a copycat.
Debra Messing is set to play an even-tempered but wary lyricist, Julia, who works with the show's gay composer, Tom. (Yes, Messing will be bantering with a gay guy friend in this role. Luckily, she had nearly a decade of practice on Will & Grace!) Messing has plenty of stage experience, by the way -- most notably in the Off-Broadway play, Collected Stories.
Katharine McPhee has been cast as an aggressive actress who'll do anything to book the lead in the musical, which is based on the life of Marilyn Monroe. Jack Davenport (most recently of Flash Forward) will play a choreographer. And Hilty will play one of the key actresses involved in the play's development.
Each season, the characters will take on a different musical, with opening night arriving in the season finale. But don't expect Les Miserables or Rent -- the musicals will be all original. That might be the show's undoing, of course. One of the reasons people love Glee is that the songs performed are popular favorites they can sing along to. On the other hand, if some new, good musicals arise out of this series, everyone wins!

Katherine Jackson and family are pursuing a claim against concert promoter.
By Gil Kaufman
When he was alive, Michael Jackson was forever embroiled in a series of complex and expensive-sounding lawsuits. But even in death, the late King of Pop is the subject of major legal action. None could potentially be bigger than the wrongful death lawsuit filed by the pop icon's mother, Katherine Jackson, against concert promotion giant AEG Live.
Reuters reported that a Los Angeles judge ruled on Wednesday that the civil lawsuit can go forward. It will proceed in parallel with the criminal case against Jackson's physician, Dr. Conrad Murray, who has been charged with involuntary manslaughter in connection with Jackson's June 2009 death from an overdose of the powerful surgical anesthetic propofol. Murray is the only person charged in Jackson's death and he is currently awaiting trial in that matter.
Katherine Jackson's lawsuit — filed in September on behalf of her and Jackson's three young children — accuses AEG of being responsible for the medical decisions made by Murray, whose salary was paid by the touring company behind Jackson's attempted "This Is It" comeback shows in London. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Yvette Palazuelos denied a motion on Wednesday by AEG to dismiss Katherine Jackson's suit, but warned Jackson's attorneys that they would need to show evidence of "fraud, negligent infliction of emotional distress and civil conspiracy" in order to win the case.
The judge has already said she doubts they can prove the latter charge, because the suit does not detail any agreement between Murray and AEG to break the law in providing medical care to Jackson.
"If the object was to get him to rehearsals, I don't see that as a wrongful or illegal act," the judge said. A lawyer for AEG told the judge that the company could not have predicted beforehand that Murray's medical decisions would result in Jackson's death. Court papers also show that AEG "did not choose to hire Murray" and had only participated in negotiations to bring him on as an independent contractor. Michael, who had previously been treated by Murray in Las Vegas, was reportedly the one who suggested the cardiologist serve as his personal, on-call physician during the "This Is It" rehearsals and shows.
Katherine Jackson's attorney recently dropped choreographer Kenny Ortega from the lawsuit based on new information they received about his actions. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for March 22, just six days before Murray is due back in court for his trial. Jackson's father, Joseph, has twice attempted to file a wrongful death suit in the matter, though his is focused on Murray and the Las Vegas pharmacy that supplied the propofol, not AEG Live.

Michael Jackson's former personal physician Dr. Conrad Murray entered a plea of not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter in the June 2009 death of the pop star at his arraignment on Tuesday morning (January 25).
According to the Los Angeles Times, when asked by judge Michael Pastor how he pleaded to the charge, Murray said, "Your honor, I am an innocent man." When Pastor interrupted and asked Murray what his plea was, the cardiologist said, "Therefore, I plead not guilty."
The brief hearing in Los Angeles Superior Court ended with Pastor setting a March 28 date for the start of a trial in the case. Murray faces a maximum of four years in prison if convicted, and the Times noted that he surprised the judge by invoking his right to a speedy trial, which meant the case would have to begin by late March. Pastor noted the rarity of a defendant asking to have a speedy trial, then set jury selection for the week of March 28 and said he was inclined to allow television coverage of the trial that the defense expects will last two months.
Lawyers for Murray have maintained his innocence all along, saying he did not do anything that "should have" caused the 50-year-old pop icon's death. The Los Angeles County Coroner's office determined that Jackson died of an overdose of the surgical anesthetic propofol mixed with a cocktail of other sedatives.
Murray has admitted to administering propofol to Jackson in the hours before the singer's death, but the defense appears to be gearing up to claim that it was Jackson who administered the final, fatal dose of the drug after he woke in a panic from a fitful night of sleep.
During a preliminary hearing earlier this month to determine if there was enough evidence to hold Murray over for trial, the physician's attorneys said that there was evidence Jackson injected or drank a fatal amount of the drug when the doctor was not looking.
