This year, in honor of Mother's Day, we want to take a look at the most popular celebrity moms on the Internet.
That means we're clearing the decks of all the teen queens. No Britney, no Christina, not even a J-Lo can make this list. You have to have enough life experience to bring a little child into the world - or at least, in the case of Rosie O'Donnell, raise a few of them.
Of course, if you still need to buy something for your own personal celebrity mom, you should check out the variety of gifts available at Lycos Shop.
Here are the most-searched celebrity moms, based on the month of April:
1) Pamela Anderson
2) Madonna
3) Martha Stewart
4) Andrea Thompson
5) Faith Hill
6) Rosie O'Donnell
7) Cindy Crawford
8) Demi Moore
9) Gillian Anderson
10) Princess Diana
11) Celine Dion
12) Sharon Stone
13) Catherine Zeta-Jones
14) Meg Ryan
15) Dr. Laura Schlessinger
16) Whitney Houston
17) Cher
18) Elle Macpherson
19) Audrey Hepburn
20) Heather Locklear
Top mom you might not have known is a mom: Gillian Anderson. She's not just pregnant with an alien baby on The X-Files, she also has a six year-old daughter named Piper.
Top instant celebrity mom: CNN news anchor-to-be Andrea Thompson. She wouldn't have even been on the list if we didn't measure the last week in April, when the controversy of her online erotic photos broke. Model Niki Taylor, currently #15 on the Lycos 50, doesn't make the list because her car crash occurred at the end of the month.
Mom you might be surprised isn't here: Tina Wesson. Even if we included searches from after she won Survivor on May 3, she still doesn't make it.
Top political mom: Senator Hillary Clinton.
Top sports mom: Figure skater Ekaterina Gordeeva.
Top celebrity mom who is also the mom of a celebrity: Judy Garland.
Most often misspelled mom: Rap star Lauryn Hill, who is spelled Lauren by nearly half of Lycos users.
By the way, Your mom receives more searches than Barbara Bush or Dutchess Sarah Ferguson. The phrase your mom, that is. And yo momma jokes are more popular online than current First Lady Laura Bush.
Of course, we can't let today's column end without a salute to the moms who make the Lycos 50 possible -- Cyndy Bates and Kathy O' Reilly. And, most importantly, the mom who made your humble commentator possible, Paula Klein. Happy Mother's Day, mom!
MONDAY: We predict the summer movie season.
