Melissa Joan Hart has such a potty mouth. And that’s a good thing!

The former Sabrina, the Teenage Witch star is ready to begin potty training her eldest son, Mason, 2. And, in cooperation with Pull-Ups training pants, she’ll be keeping an online diary of the high-fives and (soggy) lows.

“I’ve been watching DVDs … and meeting with experts and trying to figure out the potty training, but it really is different for every single kid,” Hart told PEOPLE at The Playroom’s First Anniversary benefiting the organization Friends of the Family on Wednesday in L.A. “You have to take what works for you and leave the rest behind.”

“When Mason first showed signs that he was ready to use the potty, my husband and I were really excited and – more than anything – proud,” Hart, who’s married to musician Mark Wilkerson, said in a statement. “Potty training is one of the first times I’ll be able to act as a teacher to my son, and that adds a little pressure.”

Also adding pressure, she revealed to PEOPLE, is Mason’s need for post-potty celebration. “Normally if you do a high five with a kid, that should be enough of ‘hey, you went on the potty! High five!’ but Mason likes lots of celebration, it has to be all about him, so that’s his thing,” she said. “What works as a reward? Sticker, stamps, candy … We use Hot Wheels cars, but Hot Wheels only worked for a week and then we had to go back to candy and now we’re at stickers.”

The 32-year-old actress – who gave birth to Braydon Hart Wilkerson in March – also talked about the joys of having two boys. “Mason has been great – every time he sees the baby he’s always like, ‘Baby’s so cute,’ and has all these sweet things to say. He always wants to hold him and feed him.”

Maybe she’ll even have help on the next potty-training round!

There’s a new Office mate in town: Actress Angela Kinsey and her husband, TV writer Warren Lieberstein, have welcomed a baby daughter, the actress’s rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Weighing 6 lbs., 14 oz., Isabel Ruby Lieberstein was born at 12:50 p.m. Saturday. Among those at the hospital were Kinsey’s mother, Bertie Kinsey, and the actress’s friend and castmate Jenna Fischer, according to Kinsey’s rep, Tess Finkle.

“Mom and baby are doing great!” says Finkle.

Kinsey, 36, announced her pregnancy on her MySpace blog last November.

“They say when you stop trying, that’s when it happens – and that’s how it went for us,” she wrote. Joking about taking prenatal yoga with costar Jenna Fischer, who injured her spine last year, she added: “Between her bad back and my belly, it is the perfect workout!”

Aside from cravings for ice-cold Snickers bars, it appears Kinsey’s pregnancy went like clockwork. After attending Kinsey’s girls-only baby shower in March–which featured tea sandwiches and white and pink roses–costar Kate Flannery told PEOPLE: “She is a very happy pregnant woman. One of the happiest . . . I have ever seen.”

The Garner-Affleck family have been enjoying lots of private time lately - so it was nice to see Jen in the May issue of Self magazine, where she talks about her love of summer, working out, sunscreen and of course Violet.

On her favorite season:“What’s not to love about summer? I love all the fruit that’s available. I love the farmers’ market. I love the fact that everybody relaxes a little more. You can feel it in their face and demeanor. People leave work a little easier.”

On how she prepares for a swimsuit: “I try to decrease the overall size of my butt!”

On everyone always thinking she’s pregnant: “Yes, everyone continues to think that I’m two months pregnant, but at this point, it’s just laziness! I think your body shifts. If I gained weight before, it didn’t go to my stomach. Now it’ll go to my stomach and lower half. Where I used to be flat, now - when I wear a T-shirt - you see a little bit of a normal person.”

I happened to catch this episode of Rachel Ray by accident this morning, and couldn’t stop watching. King of Queens star, Leah Remini was on, and she let Rachel Ray’s cameras inside her home as she tried to wean her 3 1/2 year old daughter Sofia from the bottle.

Sofia co-sleeps with Leah and her husband Angelo, and has six bottles of water through the course of the night. As you can imagine, no one is getting any sleep, and since she’s drinking so much water, they’re changing diapers at night too. Leah realized that the bottle situation was unhealthy - but she gave in because she didn’t want to hear Sofia cry.

The Rachel Ray Show sent a parenting expert to Remini’s home, as well as a viewer who experienced the same problem. They both gave Leah and Angelo advice - but in the end, Leah just couldn’t do it,

“The viewer was sympathetic to the real issue, which was that I did want Sofia off the bottle, but I didn’t want to hear my daughter cry,” Remini said. “She had very helpful tips that worked with my philosophy of not just ripping the bottle from her hands, which as a parent I was not willing to do.”

Ashlee Simpson continues to dance around pregnancy questions. The singer taped a segment for the Ellen DeGeneres show yesterday to air Thursday. During the interview, Ellen point blank said:

“I can’t let you sit here and not ask you the question,” began Ellen, before daring to ask, “Are you or are you not pregnant?” [Ashlee replied ]”That is definitely something that I choose personally not to discuss except for the fact that maybe… do I look like I had 10 cheeseburgers or something? Because I don’t think I do!”

Ellen and Ashlee went on to ‘pinky swear’ that she wouldn’t wait as long as Jennifer Lopez to announce the news.

“I promise you that,” laughed Ashlee. “I give you my pinky on that.”

It’s one thing to keep things private, but this has publicity written all over it.
