Hot moms get a list of their own

Since we’re celebrating hotness today and since yesterday was Mother’s Day, what better way to honor both than with a list of hot moms? That’s exactly what The Daily Beast was thinking, no doubt, when it listed “The Hottest Cool Moms.”

Some of these women are on the AfterEllen.com Hot 100, but all are undoubtedly gorgeous, sexy women.

Meryl Streep

Crushes come and go, but Meryl has been in my personal Top 10 since before I even knew why I couldn’t take my eyes off of her. In the midst of an incredible career, Marvelous Meryl has raised four children, Henry, Mamie, Grace and Louisa — all well on their way to being as gorgeous and gifted as their mom.

Brooke Shields

Former Calvin Klein model Brooke can still rock a pair of jeans while tooling around town with daughters Rowan and Grier. Brooke has never been afraid of letting her mom side show, admitting to post partum depression and occasionally worrying out loud about being too strict. Brooke Shields, being very, very strict — um, where was I?

Michelle Obama

Referring to herself as “Mom in Chief,” the First Lady seems to be the most normal mom ever to grace the White House. She insists that Sasha and Malia make their own beds every morning and manages to be around to tuck them every night.

Reese Witherspoon

Just look at those kids. Blonde beauties that are spitting images of blonde beauty Mom, Ava and Deacon are front and center of Reese’s life. She relishes the fact that her children aren’t impressed with her celebrity. “Realizing you’re not anything special to the kids is always a great sort of reminder that you’re just a regular person,” she told Parade. “A regular embarrassing old mom.” Hardly.

J.K. Rowling

The story of a penniless J.K. Rowling writing the first Harry Potter volume in cafés where her daughter Jessica could sleep is part of Hogwarts Creation Science. Billionaire status has not changed her priorities — the kids come first. J.K.’s supreme wish is to keep her children’s pictures out of the press, a wish we will honor.

    Any hot-list that includes Meryl Streep is a good list in my eyes. :)

    My vote goes to

    all those moms who aren't the least bit famous and who may or may not be even a little bit hot, who are raising their kids responsibly and the best they know how--sometimes alone--and with integrity.

    Thank you!

    Susan Gabriel thank you! 

    I'm not the least bit famous but I'm proud to say I'm raising three of the most beautiful, intelligent, groovy and funky people in the world!  Sometimes they tell me I'm the meanest mom in the world, but they always tell me I'm the most loved. <sniff> I brought a tear to my own eye!

    Peace and all that good stuff!

    Cate Capshaw is stunningtimeless: Jessica Capshaw's Mom, Catetimeless: Jessica Capshaw's Mom, Cate
    notshane's picture

    ditto!

    I would agree with you!

    And I would add Tilda Swinton, mother to 11 year old twin daughter & son, Honor & Xavier, whom she raises in the wilds of Scotland in a small town called Nairn, without TV :)

    And Sinead O'Connor, who had her first child at the age of 20, just as her top selling single came out Nothing Compares to U. She now has a brood of 4, all from different fathers who she's raising in Dublin.

    And MIA, who gave birth to her first born, the day after she rapped at the Grammys.

    Jennifer Gardner

    ...is gorgeous and should have made the Top 100, but that's just me.  She is without a doubt a hot mom.  And her kids are cute too, especially Violet.

    I met someone on this list once...

    My BFF and I went to a taping of The Daily Show back in August '06, because a connection was able to get us tix and backstage. (So awesome!) As we waited in the green room for rehearsal to finish, in walks this professorial looking dude and his GORGEOUS wife. I didn't recognize either of them, but just minutes before we had met John Oliver, who told us it was his first day working for TDS, and since they were also from the UK, we figured they were probably his friends, there to offer support. So we struck up a conversation and spent the rest of rehearsal talking politics, UK-US relations and how Blair was all up Bush's ass or whatever. 

    Rehearsal ended, we were let into the VIP seating of the studio, and we kept talking on and off. But some of the crew were coming up speak with them, and one of them said something about a book that the lady was writing, and once I heard the word book, it finally dawned on me who I'd been talking with this entire time. Before I could stop myself, I slapped a hand on my BFF's thigh and said, really fast and way louder than I would've liked, "OH MY GOD IT'S JK FUCKING ROWLING!"

    To this day I don't know whether she heard me or not, but after she was done talking with the staff member, I told her that we were big fans of her work and apologized to her for not recognizing her before, but that it was because she is just so much more stunning in real life than in her press photos. Which she TOTALLY IS, y'all, I am not even kidding you. So besides being insanely talented and incredibly beautiful, she is also totally nice and down to earth and unpretentious. She is made of awesome.

    Brooke Smith, anyone?  She has two daughters, the youngest being adopted.  And, y'know, she's freaking Brooke Smith.

    Lucy Lawless is a HOT MAMA!!!

    Lucy Lawless is a mother of three. Her oldest is 20, Daisy Lawless (2nd image), and her youngest is 8, Judah Miro Tapert (the baby she is breastfeeding in the 1st image), and the one in the middle is 10, Julius Robert Bay Tapert.

    Now that is a HOT MAMA!

    "...I have less and less control and I'm more dis inhibited every day...I, don't know that I can quite help myself any more, and ah, and I don't really care to, perhaps that's more to the point..." Lucy Lawless - 10.30.2008
