In a recent survey, moms chose Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi as the celebrities they would most trust with their kids. A parenting website, ParentDish.com, sponsored the online survey in honor of Mother's Day. With more than 10,000 responses, Ellen and Portia won easily with 33 percent. Lovely Jennifer Aniston placed second with 22 percent (which was enough to beat out Angelina, heh, heh.)
The "celeb best mom" title went to Jennifer Garner, who, by the way, the Sapphist Gazetteer saw not long ago in Harvard Square (on my way to see Sarah Waters, see May 1 post). Let me just say that I spotted her because I noticed a Very Attractive Woman chasing a cute little kid down the sidewalk. I did a double take and realized the Very Attractive Woman in jeans was Jennifer Garner. We've loved her since she first appeared as Sydney Bristow on Season One of Alias.
And for a Jennifer Garner/Michael Jackson connection, you can see Garner charmingly performing the Thriller dance in this clip from "13 Going on 30."
