Becoming a father for the first time is a big deal, so Jay-Z definitely deserved the private jet wife Beyonce bought him for his first Father's Day yesterday, right? MediaTakeOut reports Bey gave Jay a new $40 million Bombardier Challenger 850, which sounds like something us mere mortals could actually live in: It includes a living room, kitchen, bedroom, and not one but two bathrooms. More on the Father's Day festivities celebs engaged in over the weekend:

  • Kim, Kourtney, and Khloe Kardashian wrote touching messages to stepdad Bruce Jenner to mark the occasion, Celebuzz reports. Click to see what they wrote.
  • In yet more heartwarming news, Jennie Garth tweeted a sweet message to soon-to-be-ex-husband Peter Facinelli, E! reports. "Happy Fathers Day Peter," she wrote. "Our girls are so lucky to have a dad like you! Hope you have a great day with them :)."
  • In slightly-less-heartwarming news, Martin Sheen reflects on his parenting style (reminder: It produced Charlie Sheen). "You're not going to get the ideal relationship," the elder Sheen tells the AP. "Charlie could have become a priest, Emilio could have become a doctor. You don't get to choose that. And it's not really a reflection of you. They did have a hand in the bargain." Click to see his advice.
  • If we're going strictly by PopSugar's slideshow, it seems every famous dad in America was captured on film taking a walk with their kids yesterday, including Hugh Jackman, Orlando Bloom, and Ethan Hawke.
