Haylie Duff needs a toddler dictionary. “Ryan has a couple of words, like mama and dada,” says the actress, 31, of her 16-month-old daughter with fiancéMatt Rosenberg. “But mainly it’s tons of blabbing. We call her ‘the Minion!’” The host of Haylie’s America (Cooking Channel, Thursdays, 10 p.m.) dishes more with Us. Q: What has been a challenge for you? Food poisoning knocked my milk out at seven months. It was awful. I finally gave her a bottle of formula, and there was no turning back. You shouldn’t be ashamed to formula-feed.

OPENS FRIDAY 9/16 Bridget Jones’s Baby Dear diary: So relieved. The third Bridget Jones film is v. delightful and v. funny. Now 43, the lovably flawed British singleton (Renée Zellweger) is a TV news producer but stuck in a dating rut. That soon changes: She has a onenight stand with a dashing mogul (Patrick Dempsey), drunkenly stumbles back in the sack with her ex Mark Darcy (Colin Firth), and then becomes pregnant. Who’s the daddy? Actually, the answer to that trite Jerry Springer Show–like plot device doesn’t matter. In fact, Firth looks ready to bolt for a pedigreed period drama after the ultrasound. What’s truly important is that after a 12-year absence, our heroine remains true to herself. Whether she’s tripping into a mud pit or delivering a eulogy, Bridget…

OPENS FRIDAY 9/16 Snowden U.S. government whistle-blower Edward Snowden already told his story in the Oscar-winning 2014 doc Citizenfour. So a dramatized biopic — even one that stars the great Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title role — seems superfluous. Snowden is a computer whiz working for the National Security Agency when he learns of shocking surveillance techniques. Angered by the mass privacy invasion, he decides to expose all. Oliver Stone directs with a compelling manic whirl, but there’s only so much tension to be extracted from Snowden typing furiously on a keyboard. And a lame subplot involving an exasperated girlfriend (played by a miscast Shailene Woodley) fails to humanize him. No wonder the divisive man himself appears in the final moments. MR…
