A Salute: Here's to You, Hollywood Baby Mamas

By Jo Piazza Posted Jul 8th 2011 01:30PM

As we wait with bated breath to learn the paternity of January Jones' upcoming spawn (rhymes with Mason Zoodeckease) and celebrate the birth of Ryan Philippe's surprise baby with one-time paramour Alexis Knapp, PopEater feels like it is time (because it's Friday!) to celebrate celebrity baby mamas and the men who gave them the title. Hallmark doesn't make a card saying "Thank you for being my baby mama," so this will have to suffice.

1. Elizabeth Hurley and Steve Bing - Baby daddy Steve Bing, real estate mogul and film producer, tried to beg out of being the father of Hurley's son Damian. Proof that someone that looks like Bing got to sleep with someone who looks like Liz doesn't seem like a bad deal to us. DNA tests finally proved paternity.

2. Bridget Moynahan and Tom Brady - This baby mama famously got ditched for supermodel Gisele while pregnant with New England Patriots' quarterback Tom Brady's child. Talk about baby mama drama.

3. Mary Louise Parker and Billy Crudup - The "Weeds" star is another famous pregnant dumpee. Billy left Mary for the much younger and less pregnant Claire Danes when Parker was eight months pregnant.

4. Kim Porter and Sean Combs - The model has been the recurring baby mama for the rap mogul bearing him three offspring before finally calling it quits.

5. Padma Lakshmi and Adam Dell - The "Top Chef" stunner was tight-lipped about who the daddy of daughter Krishna Thea was, finally revealing it to be venture capitalist Adam Dell, whom she seems to want nothing to do with. Baby-daddy hindsight is always 20/20.

6. Oksana Grigorieva and Mel Gibson - Oksana has made a career of exploiting Mel's bad behavior since bearing his child Lucia in 2009.

7. Owen Wilson and Jade Duell - It wasn't long after the birth of son Robert that Owen got the heck out of dodge. The pair managed to keep Jade's pregnancy a secret from the press until about her eighth month. Six months later the public scrutiny proved too much and the pair split.

8. Linda Evangelista and Salma Hayek's Husband - This one was a shocker. It was revealed last week that Francois Henri Pinault is the father of her 4-year-old son, Augustin James. A source close to the PPR CEO has said, "Francois' relationship with Linda was brief. They dated for three months in 2005. He didn't even meet Salma until April of 2006."

9. Samantha Burke and Jude Law - The British actor was taken aback when he found out a few-night stand was going to make him a daddy to model Samantha Burke's daughter Sophia. The pair reportedly worked out all arrangements between their lawyers, it being awkward to share a child with someone you haven't shared a toothbrush with and all.

10. Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown and Eddie Murphy - The comedian demanded Scary Spice to administer a DNA test to prove he was the papa of her daughter Angel Iris. It was Brown who had the last laugh.

Poor women. & shameful, ignornant dispicable men. They have no IDEA what its like to be pregnant & left all alone to raise a child with no support of a partner. Selfish bastards!

Poor women?? While Mary & Briget I feel sorry for & Billy & Tom should be ashamed, I hate to break the news to you but there is such a thing as gasp... birth control.

there is also something called [gasp] PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!

By AM

Poor women? - I don't think so,they are just as stupid and irresponsible as the men. Having a kid by a rich man is the way to go these days (look at Kimberly Stewart). Rich people and contraception clearly don't mix!

By Kelleigh

Hilarious! I would never have a child by a man who hasn't married me. I would also hate that title, and knowing my child is a bastard statistic. Just saying. One of the women on the list is a limited edition baby mama 4.0 though.

By Joey

Dear Kelleigh,

I agree with you 100%. Having illegitimate kids is a terrible waste of one's life.

By newyorker

It happens all the time. Celebrities are no different than ordinary people.

IT'S A SPIC THING TOO.

By Harpichick

Re: Bridget, Tom, and Gisele ... the REAL story is that Bridget and Tom broke up, then, a few months later (after he later became involved with Gisele), she did the big reveal (ie: found out/informed him that she was pregnant) ... very much a different take than inaccurately stating that Tom dumped a pregnant Bridget, for Gisele!

Not that I care much, one way or the other, but it is irritating when articles don't get the facts right ...

By Sam

@Kelleigh you probably have never been laid in your life?????

By Narla

No.11 will soon be Benicio del Toro and Kimberly Stewart - never did I thought I would type those names in the same sentence. I guess that Hollywood for you - no standards whatsoever!

By Dave Beanie

@Dave - it's the age of stupid don't you know
