Reese Witherspoon Named Hippest Mom

Beautiful, successful -- and now Oscar- winner Reese Witherspoon can add "Hippest Mom" to her resume! To celebrate Mother's Day, the "Lifetime Women's Pulse Poll*" surveyed nearly 1,000 Lifetime viewers nationwide, who found Reese Witherspoon the hippest mother, ahead of Kelly Ripa, Kate Hudson and Jennifer Garner, while saying Jennifer Lopez and Jennifer Aniston (Marc and Vince, are you listening?) are the celebrities most likely to become pregnant this year.

As she will throughout May, singer Martina McBride will serve as on-air host during the Sunday, May 14 Mother's Day movie festival, which runs from 11AM-11PM (ET/PT), highlighted by the 5PM (ET/PT) U.S. Television Premiere of "Honeymoon with Mom," starring Shelley Long, Jack Scalia and Virginia Williams.

During "The Mother of All Months," Martina will share results from the latest poll, answer viewer questions, share her experiences as a mom and talk about her latest projects. "I had fun learning the results from Lifetime's poll and hearing all about how other moms feel. In my music, you can hear how much being a mother has impacted by life. I love to share experiences with other moms and hosting this movie marathon was so much fun!" says McBride. She made sure to fit this into her busy schedule that includes performing to sold-out audiences on her Timeless tour and taking care of her three young girls.

The "Lifetime Women's Pulse Poll" also found that women looking for a "Mr. Mom" to clean their house and take care of the kids selected Tim McGraw, beating out "Dr. McDreamy" (Patrick Dempsey from "Grey's Anatomy"). But when the vacuuming's done and they're looking for someone to tuck them in at night, Matthew Fox ("Lost") and Ricardo Antonio Chavira ("Desperate Housewives") were the chocolate on the pillow, edging out Usher and Simon Cowell of "American Idol."

How good were their own mothers at giving advice? More than 30 percent said parenting tips were the best advice they ever received, but nearly as many (28.4%) said their mother was "horrible at giving advice" - such as the mere 2.3% who said their Mom offered pearls of wisdom about sex.

No matter whether their mother was right about raising children or Tim McGraw cleaned the oven, an overwhelming number (76.6%) believed motherhood is harder than when they were young girls.
