Thank you for carrying me, birthing me, raising me, supporting me, teaching me, and loving me unconditionally!” she wrote in her dedication, alongside a pic of the pop superstar as a tot. “The woman I am today is because of everything that you are!

“One of the best parts of playing the Big Red Jackass is welcoming @makeawishamerica and @childrenswishfoundation onto set,” the kind-hearted actor captioned a series of shots with the kids. “Deadpool kicked Cancer in the taint, but these kids do it for real every day. These foundations make dreams come true for a lot of of super-brave kids. They also make dreams come true for parents, who just wanna see their kid smile,” he continued. “HUGE thanks to our Prop Master, Dan Sissons, for making sure every kid left with his/her own sword. (Bamboo versions. Not stabby-stabby versions.)” (Photo: Ryan Reynolds via Instagram)

Katherine Heigl
“It’s been almost 14 months since Joshua Jr. was born and it has taken me about that long to really get back in shape,” the mom of three admitted, posting a three-photo progress report. “The first pic was taken one month after he was born. The second pic was taken almost a full year later and the last pic was taken this weekend. I wish I had a few from in between the first and second so you could really see how slow my progress was but alas…I was busy covering it all up those months, not posing in my unders! Anyway, I have a beach vacation coming up, a new job I start filming in April and my deep desire to feel fit, strong and sexy,” she revealed, “propelling me forward the last two months to finally lose the last of my baby weight and do a deep dive search for the ab muscles I knew were buried under that belly somewhere!” (Photo: Katherine Heigl via Instagram)

Our two adopted albino rabbits are home!” the animal lover capitoned this photo of herself cuddling the latest additions to her family. “We don’t know their story but they have been at the humane society for a few months,” she continued. “We did some research and found out they are called New Zealand whites and are primarily used for the fur trade and 90% of meat consumption. Needless to say, their life just took a turn for the better.” (Photo: Kaley Cuoco via Instagram)
