Favorite celebrity moms

Julia Roberts Which celeb moms do you want to emulate (rather than gawk at)?

The folks at BettyConfidential.com, a site that covers "women's life stages," have chosen their 10 favorite celebrity moms. Julia Roberts tops the list because she shields her kids from paparazzi and is raising them out of the limelight in New Mexico.

Also lauded: Jenny McCarthy (for her autism advocacy), Maria Shriver, Gwen Stefani and Kelly Ripa, among others.

Despite now being a mother of six, Angelina Jolie only made the list as .... Most Controversial. "Some find her admirable and devoted; some find her off-putting and exploitative," the site says.

What say you?

Gack. I'd choose Angelina Jolie over Tori Spelling anyday.
