Celebrities are a lot of fun to watch every day, but when these sexy men have their little ones by their side, it's even cuter to check out. This year Matthew McConaughey is a new addition to the list with baby Levi while some of the veteran dads like Brad, Matt, and Gavin expanded their brood this year. Last year Brad took the title of favorite celeb dad, but will he hold on to the top spot or is another doting dad going take his place? So tell us — who is your favorite celebrity dad this year?

Matt Damon and Luciana dressed Isabella in an adorable yellow sundress for a shopping trip in Miami yesterday. The proud father held his older daughter close on the windy afternoon, while Gia skipped this outing. Between campaigning for Obama, continuing his charity work, and on set in London, it's been a busy Autumn for Matt, who must be looking forward for some time with his family of girls. Back in October Matt said that they were going to be moving back to NYC, so maybe his two Florida babies can get a taste of the northeast winters he grew up with.

George Clooney was in Berlin on Saturday night, chatting with Santa and flirting with the ladies at the "A Heart for Children" charity gala before heading to dinner with friends. He had been set to receive an award at the event for his work towards calming tensions in Darfur, but George decided to pass the honor on to aid workers in the region. While in Germany, he sat down with the country's newspaper Bild to chat about his family, friends, and why he felt undeserving of the accolades. Here's more:

• On why he wanted to pass the award on to aid workers: "You know, people are just too nice to me. If I had something to do with the end of the Sudan conflict then OK. But it’s not over, we haven’t been successful yet. Don Cheadle, Matt Damon, Brad Pitt and I — sometimes we accept prizes in order to maintain a platform for our causes. But when I was honoured by the Noble Peace Prize Laureates last year, I found it underserved. That is why I want to hand over the 'Golden Heart' to people who risk their lives everyday."
• On celebrities supporting social causes: "It is up to every individual to decide. No one knows what is going on behind the public image. One person is looking for a job, another is building a family or looking after their parents. I personally decided to spend my free time helping regions of the world in crisis."
• On what family means to him: "A lot. My parents, my sister, her kids. . . I am lucky that my parents are still so young and active. My father started teaching journalism this year at the American University in Washington. It’s really strange — at the beginning they wanted to have a lesson plan from him and other such stuff. He looked at me and asked, 'Can’t I just be "charming"?' It seems to have worked, he’s having a lot of fun. We all have a close relationship. Apart from them I have my 'family of friends' in Los Angeles."

It's no surprise that charm runs in the Clooney family, but George's concern and generosity are also part of what makes him seem like one of the nicest guys in Hollywood — and even Berlin.

After partying in London together earlier this week, George Clooney and Matt Damon rounded up even more of their celebrity friends for a private charity party in London last night. The event was a fundraiser for Darfur, a cause that both George and Matt have raised tons of money for and been openly passionate about in the past. George's buddies Cindy Crawford and Rande Gerber were in attendance, as well as Luciana Damon and Claudia Schiffer. Scarlett Johansson and Eva Mendes even made an appearance after the premiere of The Spirit. The stars never need an excuse to party with their colleagues, but it's always better when there's a good cause to go along with the celebration.

Despite being back in camouflage, George Clooney was still easy to spot on the set of Men Who Stare at Goats in New Mexico yesterday before shooting some hoops. It's the second year in a row that George hasn't won the crown of Sexiest Man Alive, but somehow we doubt that he's complaining after taking it twice in the past and succeeding in the campaign to get Matt Damon his rightful title for 2007. Even without the top honors — and with that mustache —George will always be one of the Hottest Bachelors in Hollywood to us.

After getting dressed up for a wedding over the weekend, Matt and Luciana packed up their two girls and jetted to LA yesterday. Isabella showed off her hair clip and fun socks from the safety of Matt's arms, while Luciana kept baby Gia cozy under her blanket. Now that Matt's all set to star in another Bourne, it will be back to filming in Hollywood soon, but before that he'll be headed up to SF for a OneXOne dinner and if we're lucky a celebrity sighting.

Matt Damon went out to eat with Luciana, Isabella, and baby Gia — though we didn't get a peek at her — along with his extended family in Miami yesterday. The big group celebrated the family's participation in the Escape to Miami triathlon where Matt and his stepfather had legs of a relay team, while his brother did the whole thing. Matt's been trying to keep losing that weight he put on for The Informant, and when asked if he planned to add running to his exercise regime, he joked, "I don't think so. I knew I was in trouble when the old guy with the oxygen tank passed me." Sounds like Matt's being his usual modest self since we know he's already a jogger, but no matter how he gets there we're excited to see him buff again, especially if it's for another Bourne.

Matt Damon stopped by the Clinton Global Initiative in NYC on Friday to talk about H2O Africa, his clean water project. He was there as part of his commitment to the Global Water Challenge, which helps provide sanitary and clean drinking water to the world's poorest populations. The cause has been close to Matt's big heart for years and now his charity work is more important to him than ever. After his big day, hopefully he found somewhere to sit back, relax, loosen up his tie and watch the debate.
