Ah, Mother’s Day. That special Sunday when you run around to 15 different grocery stores desperately searching for a bouquet of flowers that isn’t completely dead because you totally forgot what day it was (And, if you’re like me, the day that you dread Every. Single. Year. because inevitably your mom will cry about what a disappointment you are.).

So, in honour of this special day, we’ve compiled a list of the hottest musician moms. You will notice, of course, the absence of some of our more famous musician moms (cough Britney cough). This is because they (she) are (is) no longer hot.*

*Fact.

10. Madonna

Madonna’s kids are lucky ones indeed. Not only can she sing them a calming lullaby at bedtime, she can read to them from one of her popular books: Mr. Peabody’s Apples, The English Roses, The Girlie Show Book, Yakov and the Seven Thieves, The Adventures of Abdi, Lotsa de Casha, or Sex.

9. Geri Halliwell

When it came time to name her precious little girl, Ginger Spice immediately thought that Baby Spice would work best, but remembered that it was already taken. (Damn you, Emma Bunton!) Good thing she didn’t pick something ridiculous like Cinnamon Spice, and instead went with something sensible: Bluebell Madonna.

8. Victoria Beckham

Poor Posh’s kiddies. Playing hide and seek with their mom is an almost impossible task. Usually, she takes the easy route and just steps behind a lamp, and voila, she’s invisible. (Well, except for two bumps sticking out, but they don’t really count cause they aren’t real.)

7. Sheryl Crow

As we all know, all Sheryl Crow wants to do is have some fun. Well, we hope Sheryl’s version of fun includes changing gross diapers, being woken up 3-4 times a night by crying, dealing with temper tantrums and general unreasonableness, and being thrown up on. Otherwise she’s in for a rude awakening.

6. Chantal Kreviazuk

Having Avril Lavigne move into your house for a period of time is bound to make Chantal Kreviazuk a great mom when her kids reach teenage-dom. After all, you can’t get more bratty or annoying than Avril.

5. Shania Twain

We know that Shania Twain has the potential to be a good mom simply because she already has practice dressing like a Backyardigan. (Anyone else remember the unfortunate leopard print catsuit?) And, as an additional bonus, she can use that outfit to make Hallowe’en costumes for her kids.

4. Faith Hill

We’re totally digging the effect motherhood is having on Faith Hill. Instead of that crappy country music she usually plays, she’s recently been rocking it out with Led Zeppelin. We applaud the new example you’re setting for your kids. Keep it up, and there’s a good chance your kids will end up pretty cool.*

*Not guaranteed.

3. Jennifer Lopez

What is it with JLo? She always has to one-up everybody else. When all the other celebrities started to have babies, ol’ Jenny from the Block had to beat everyone else and have twins. Here’s hoping that the babies resemble her and not that greasy, greasy Marc Anthony. Genetically speaking, Ben Affleck would totally have been the better choice.

2. Gwen Stefani

Mystery solved folks. We’ve cracked the code on Gwen Stefani’s bizarre antics with regards to her Harajuku girls. Clearly, she was just practicing for motherhood. Only, we’re hoping that she doesn’t insist that Kingston is only “part of her imagination” and that “we can’t see him” like she did with the Harajuku girls. Weirdo.

1. Nelly Furtado

Okay, Nelly is just awesome, and she is such a hot mom, I’m sure most of you didn’t even realize that she IS a mom. We’re thinking that it’s not just a coincidence that her ascent from merely cute to smoking hot came along at the same time as she became a mom. Promiscuous girl indeed.
