Mother's Day on the Net - Top 10 Celebrity Moms

Top 10 Celebrity Moms

From celebrities to stay-at-home soccer moms, every woman with kids looks forward to that Sunday in May when she is the leading lady. Who wouldn't want to be lavished with a little extra affection, appreciation and attention from the people that matter most in your life? Here's a look at the Top 10 celebrity moms you'll be sharing Mother's Day with this year. Maybe you'll recognize yourself in some of their most admirable qualities.

Nicole Ritchie

Until recently, Nicole Ritchie was known for little more than being Paris Hilton's bosom bud and Lionel Ritchie's daughter. Then the frighteningly thin 27-year old announced her pregnancy (the baby's daddy is Joel Madden) and in less than a year, Nicole completely reinvented herself as a nurturing mother. Nicole started by gaining a healthy amount of weight during her pregnancy - the first sign that she had learned to put her baby's needs before her own.

Throughout her pregnancy, Nicole and Joel sponsored a number of fundraising events for low-income mothers and children, and even kicked off their own foundation, the Richie Madden Children's Foundation. Since the birth of her daughter Harlow in January 2008, Nicole has been nothing but the devoted mother. While it hasn't been easy, the former Simple Life star is committed to making it work because "that's what's best for Harlow." Way to turn it around, Nicole!

Pamela Anderson

You'd hardly expect Pam Anderson - best known as the biggest babe on Bay Watch - to make a Top 10 list of celebrity moms. Despite her pin-up image, however, Pam is a devoted mom to two sons, Dylan, 11, and Brandon, 10. (Their father is ex-husband and on-again-off-again fling Tommy Lee.) The blond bombshell is also an unusual advocate for natural parenting.

In fact, Pamela was among the first of a growing trend of celebrity moms to birth her babies at home, rather than in a hospital (Charlotte Church, Ricki Lake and Joely Fisher have since followed suit), and she breastfed both of her kids - despite her DD-size implants. Pamela is also a volunteer crossing guard for her children's school and a part-time room mother. Who'd have thought that the ditzy lifeguard would make such a stellar mom?

Marcia Cross

Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross was desperate to get pregnant after her 2006 marriage to stockbroker Tom Mahoney. But already in her early 40s, Marcia felt like time was running out. The fiery red head spoke openly about her struggles to get pregnant, which made her announcement that she was expecting fraternal twins all the more exciting. Born on February 20, 2007, Savannah and Eden are now two busy little toddlers with a doting mom who loves to take them to the park. Way to go Marcia: desperate no more!

Jennifer Garner

Of all the celebrity moms on this list, Jennifer is probably the most likely to pull up a seat next to you during the local library's story hour and sing along - mercilessly out of tune - to Old McDonald Had A Farm. Even though motherhood is the great equalizer between celebrities and their adoring fans, there is no more relatable star and mom than Jennifer Garner. Wife to Ben Affleck and mom to 3-year old Violet, Jennifer is unlike the other A-listers who put on heals and makeup even for a quick run to Starbucks. Jennifer is constantly snapped by paparazzi wearing jeans and sneakers, hair pulled back into a ponytail, without even a hint of makeup. Jennifer would rather spend the day at the park with Violet than shopping on Rodeo Drive - and she's clearly passing on these good values to her daughter. Now that's something to celebrate!

Yikes, what were you all smoking when you came up with THIS list?! If portraying or being known as a quintessential slut, along with not marrying your child's father is the criteria for being a good mother, then I guess you nailed this one.
