Top 10 Celebrity Moms

continued... (2 of 3)

Katie Holmes Cruise

Katie - or Kate, as husband Tom Cruise has redubbed her - is mom to one of the most famous celebrity babes of all times: Suri (princess) Cruise. After Katie's whirlwind romance with Tom - and her super quick pregnancy - rumors began swirling about the authenticity of their claims of love... and even whether Tom was the baby's real father.

Hysteria intensified after Suri's birth on April 18, 2006 (the one-year anniversary of the couple's first date), since Tom and Katie kept their little princess shielded from the paparazzi for weeks. When Hollywood's most talked-about couple finally introduced Suri to the world, pictures of the gorgeous, blue-eyed baby girl squelched the gossip. Suri is the perfect genetic combination of both mom and dad.

Once the naíve girl next door on the WB series Dawson's Creek, Katie Holmes Cruise is now one of Hollywood's hottest fashion plates. From running the New York City marathon to walking the red carpet, Katie does it all with sophisticated style. Of course, her favorite person to accessorize is little Suri, whose shoe collection probably rivals that of the wife of a former South American dictator.

Brooke Shields

Former child star, model, comedian and actress, Brooke Shields also proudly wears the title of mom. The 42-year-old A-lister is mommy to 4-year old Rowan and 2-year old Grier. After battling a debilitating case of post-partum depression following the birth of her first daughter, Brooke used her platform to spread the word about this condition. Her book Down Came the Rain documents her struggle and triumph over PPD, which is experienced by 15-20% of all post-partum moms.

When another A-lister, Tom Cruise, came out against Brooke's use of medication to treat depression (a position associated with his belief in Scientology), Shields fought back with a searing Op-Ed piece about women and depression in the New York Times. A former Princeton University ungrad, Brooke is bright and passionate - but she also values her friends, so she made up with Tom and even attended his Italian wedding to Katie Holmes. Brooke makes the perfect role model to her girls - beauty, brains and compassion!

Star of the HBO hit series Sex in the City, entrepreneur of her own line of affordable fashion, wife to Broadway actor Matthew Broderick, and Democrat party activist, Sarah Jessica Parker seemingly does it all. Of course, ask her and she'll tell you that the most important title she holds is mom to James Wilke. When she's not building Lego towers or playing Star Wars with her five-year old son, she's apparently raising him to follow in her footsteps - not as an actor or entrepreneur (at least not yet), but as a political activist.

Sarah recently said on The Today Show that James is an ardent supporter of Barack Obama's presidential campaign. Of course, James Wilke's views of the salient issues might still be a bit juvenile. Sarah laughingly explained that her son likes Barack, "because he's a boy. For him, it's all about gender identification. James Wilke is a boy and so is Barak Obama."
