The other night my girlfriend and I were talking about Celebrity Moms.
With all the crap that goes on in Hollywood, and all the hit and misses with parenthood, my friend and I were playing the “Well, if I were a kid, I would want ______ to be my mother” game.
And, of course, we had the “Can you imagine if ______ was your mother” (ahem… Britney) conversation.
So… let’s see if you agree or not.
Here is my top 10 list of Celebrity Moms I wouldn’t mind having as my mother…
1) Reese Witherspoon
I just like the fact that she seems to be with her kids a lot. That’s kind of, you know, important when you’re a parent.
2) Courteney Cox
Not only is this woman gorgeous, but I love how she is out and about with Coco all over the place. And how cool would it be to have Jennifer Aniston as your Godmother?
3) Brooke Shields
I love this woman. She’s smart. She’s talented. She’s in love with her husband. And she absolutely loves her 2 little girls more than anything. I just commend her on her journey to recovery and just being honest about her Post-partum Depression.
4) Goldie Hawn
OK, have you seen where these people live? It’s GORGEOUS. And she’s crazy and zany and just looks like a whole lotta FUN! I mean, to let your grandson have hair that long and not say a thing… she’s a lady!
5) Jennifer Garner
She’s one of my top! She wears jeans. Sneakers. No make-up. And she’s always out and about in a non-celebrity way. And she’s married to one of my favorite Boston Red Sox fans.
6) Angie Harmon
Basically for her genes. And for her jeans. This woman always looks immaculate.
7) Kelly Ripa
Her energy. Her style. Her humor. I’ve seen her a few times out in NYC with her kids. She says “hi” to people. She is always with her kids. And she is just a “normal” mother. That’s pretty cool. (Not to mention her husband is gorgeous.)
8 ) Julia Roberts
She obviously puts her kids first. To give up her career (when it was hot) and stay at home, not even in Hollywood… to raise them? Very cool.
9) Tina Fey
I just would be laughing all day. All night. This woman ROCKS.
10) Angelina Jolie
Purely for my adopted Dad, Brad Pitt. If he wouldn’t mind adopting a 29 year old. With 3 kids. And a husband. I’d be there. Oh, I would be there. Not to mention, being able to travel the world.
I’m going to do a bonus one here…
Kimora Lee Simmons
I’m addicted to her show. I wouldn’t mind having my own “James”. My own estate. My own anything-and-everything-I-want. I can’t say that would be a bad thing. I promise I wouldn’t allow myself to get a spoiled attitude!
-Audrey
Good choices! I would add Gwyneth Paltrow to the list too. She seems very into her kids. And having Blythe Danner as a grandmother would be an added bonus.
Great list! However, I think I’d move Tina Fey up a little higher because having a funny mom is a great thing
Oh my gosh! I know what celeb mom I’d love to have as a friend… or BE… Heidi Klum! I also think that Katie Holmes looks like a good mom… Tina Fey rocks, too!
Steph
Reese would totally be #1 on my list and then Jennifer Garner… great list!!
I’d love to hear your “hate to have” list.
I’d add Gwen Stefani. She seems like a real down to earth person and a good mom too. The rest of your list seems good.
Not bad! I’d have to add Heidi Klum, Angela Bassett and Cindy Crawford.
I would stick with Kelly Ripa. Humor is number one on my prerequisites for a mom.
I would totally go with Reese Witherspoon and Courteney Cox! Just like Girl Gone Wild, I’d love to hear you “hate to have” list.
Jen Garner, Heidi Klum, Cindy Crawford, Jenny McCarthy, Oprah (what? she has fur-babies!), Bonnie Hunt (so hilarious)
Fun post!
Ok, great picks, but I want OPRAH to be MY mom LOL
Just for 1 day. 1 HOUR even LOL
Otherwise, I agree with most of your picks!
The only question I have about Julia Roberts is how would you be able to handle being named Hazel or Gert or something? LOL
I totally agreed with everyone on your list. I would also love to read about the ones who you wouldn’t want for your mother. I have a few in mind!
This is a fun list and so right on! I would have to agree with everyone, and would add Cindy Crawford, Katie Holms and Jenny McCarthy. Jenny McCarthy has been all over the place lately and seems to have so much love and support for her son.
I’d want reese and julia!
I’m not a fan of angelina though.
Great list, I don’t know if I’d make any changes to it, I think you just nailed it
[...] was going to do a follow-up post of Celebrity Moms I wouldn’t want as a [...]
Jennifer Garner is my favorite celeb mom. I really think Violet has a good chance of growing up well adjusted.
What? NO Rosie … heehee!
