What's better than judging the parenting styles of women you don't know without seeing them inside their homes? Giving them grades! Yes, the "report cards" in this issue are all about how celebrity moms are raising their kids — based on a few notable actions or quotes and not any kind of real information.
Christina Aguilera gets a C- because she throws out her son's treats for fear that she will eat them. Reese Witherspoon gets a D+ for her "disrespectful attitude toward authority." Katie Holmes gets a C- for taking Suri to dinner at midnight; Farrah Abraham gets an F for negotiating her porn contract with her daughter in her arms. The kid is 4! Mommy signing paperwork is not damaging.
Anyway, Angelina Jolie gets an A+ for getting a mastectomy so her kids don't have to live without her. Weird how star is being nice to her now after years of "wasting away" headlines. Oh, and that one time they diagnosed her twins with down syndrome.
Denise Richards gets an A+ for taking in Charlie Sheen's other kids while Brooke Mueller was in rehab; and Gwen Stefani gets a D because Gavin Rossdale "aka the nanny" does all the work.
According to the tab, Tori Spelling, “The moody mom of four can go from happily playing with her kids to storming off to be alone in her room, leaving them to watch up to eight hours of TV per day.”
But “most troubling,” says the mag, is “how Tori plays favorites, throwing six-figure birthday parties for eldest son Liam while mocking her other three kids when they cry for lack of attention.”
The tabloid concludes its nasty story by giving Spelling a grade of “D -” for her parenting, urging the actress to “focus attention on the well-being of all her kids.”
