"My dad is my best mate," says musician Cody Simpson. "He's by my side every single day helping me become a better man. He is the kindest and most humble person I know and I am grateful to have such an admirable role model in my life. Happy Fathers day, love you dad.” The pic was taken at the video shoot for Cody's new single "Pretty Brown Eyes" sometime near the end of April.

"This is me and my dad at the house I was born in, in Malibu," says singer Colbie Callait of father Ken Caillat, a Grammy-winning producers who produced "Tusk" and "Rumors" by Fleetwood Mac. "I was a little blond kid running round barefoot all the time. Our house was near Dukes on pacific coast highway, so we would have beach days all the time with my sister and my family. It was so much fun cause I have a big family. My dad is the greatest, sweetest and most caring father!"

"Every day I appreciate moments and memories with my dad more and more," says singer Fergie. "I love that our passion for wine and work on Ferguson Crest vineyard has given us even more time together now, filled with love, laughter and the most important thing of all... family. I love you, padre." The pic was taken in Sun Valley, Idaho in July 2012 to celebrate her dad's birthday. They were wine tasting. Sister Dana is also pictured.

Singer Jason Mraz poses with dad Tom, his date to the 2010 Grammys.

Jenni Farley, aka "Jersey Shore's" JWoww, says, "My aunt is holding me and my Dad has a beer. I hate clowns!"

“I have the most supportive dad in the world," says model Karlie Kloss. "So every Father’s Day my sisters and I spoil him with breakfast in bed. I’m not just talking your standard coffee and toast, but a full on, over-the-top, gourmet spread, complete with scrambled eggs, pancakes, waffles, yogurt parfaits, fresh fruit, and finished off with a beautiful bouquet of fresh-cut flowers from our garden!” The photo was taken in 2008 backstage at a Proenza Shouler Fashion Show…he was my chaperone/ partner in crime that season.

"Our children are a continuous reminder of how blessed we are and how much love we share, but siblings will still fight and as parents we must teach them to get along," says "America's Got Talent" hot Nick Cannon. "This photo was taken while we were in Australia and I had just reprimanded Roc for hitting his sister, it's why he's sitting with his legs crossed and his hands in his lap. Discipline is never easy – especially since these two are so well behaved – but it's necessary and that has been a HUGE lesson in fatherhood for me. Not pictured: Roc giving her a big hug and kiss afterwards." The pic was taken on vacation in Australia, New Year's 2013. Cannon is father to Monroe and Moroccan with wife Mariah Carey.

"My dad's the best, he's always been supportive of me whatever I do. I love him!" said "Jersey Shore's" Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi of her father Andy Polizzi aka Papa Snooks. They took this photo at the first Team Snooki Music Live event on June 7 at Passions Nightclub at the Seminole Hard Rock in Hollywood Florida.

Skateboarder Tony Hawk poses November 22, 2012 on the summit of Mammoth Mountain with sons Spencer, 14, Keegan, 11, and Riley, 20. “We try to go to because I love sharing my favorite sports with them,” Hawk says.
