My greatest challenge for this week's poll was narrowing down the list of people we'd prefer did not provide society with some spawn. I am by no means suggesting that I had some divine right to contribute to the global gene pool, but for the following slew of fame mongers it should be against the law.
Coming in with twice as many votes as the second place finisher, Lindsay Lohan was voted the least desirable future mother. Is it the history of drug use? Bad acting? Questionable morality? Relentless fake tanning (which has probably reached toxic levels)? No, I think it's probably the leggings. Regardless of your own reason for voting her in, she is clearly not the ready image that comes to mind when we think of "Mom of the Year" (despite her own mother's surprising designation by one misguided publication).
A distant second goes to Paris Hilton who probably would have been a shoe-in for 1st place a year ago, but has since lived up to her post-hoosegow promise of using her notoriety for positive influences by touring with her boyfriend of the minute, Benji Madden. The world is certainly a better place.
Star Jones followed closely behind Hilton for the 3rd place finish. I am not sure why I'd rather she not continue her legacy through the next generation, but I do know her choice in husbands, publicity stunts, and career paths strike me as, well, odd. I'm sure someone else could articulate it better, but anyone whose name is Star and seems to seek the spotlight so tenaciously as she should probably stay focused on the most important thing in her life: herself.
Finally, Tyra "Ty Ty" Banks finished last with only one vote. Yes, she is effervescently annoying. Yes, she thinks everything she says is both groundbreaking and insightful. And yes, she makes her eyes "smile" way too much, but she may make a pretty happy mom for some future cheerleaders / motivational speakers.
And there you have it.
