Video: Mother’s Day Supercut
We’re a day late on this, but it’s too good not to post. Part tribute, part quote archive, it’s a collection of the sweetest, looniest, most soulless mothers in film and TV. I’ve probably seen two-thirds of the works mentioned here, but I can pick out Mean Girls, Mommie Dearest, Requiem for a Dream, Mamma Mia!, Stepmom, Back to the Future, Black Swan, Jerry Maguire, Knocked Up, Carrie, Freaky Friday, The Kids Are All Right, Grey Gardens, and that classic love letter to moms everywhere, Psycho.

Crushable Mother’s Day: First Ladies
For Mother’s Day, we asked our moms to tell their favorite stories of celebrity encounters. My mom, Carol Tanzman, was a theater director in New York City in the 80s and 90s, where she had many a celeb sighting. Here’s her coolest one:
I went to see an off-off Broadway play being performed in a tiny theatre in Manhattan. There was a slight stir just before the lights went down. Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis slipped into the empty seat in front of me. She flung her coat over the back of her seat and it landed half in my lap. More »
Crushable Mother’s Day: Before They Were Famous
For Mother’s Day, we asked our moms to tell their favorite stories of celebrity encounters. First up is my lovely mom, Renée Zutter, who lived and worked in New York City in the 1980s and knew all the fun hotspots.
After college my group of girl friends were really missing the bar/restaurant we used to hang out at on campus [at Syracuse University]… our own personal Cheers if you will, where you could go any time of day or night and know someone (or at least recognize the regulars) and feel comfortable.
Soon after we moved to Manhattan our friend Jeff opened what would later become the first hip exercise studio, but at the time he was hurting for clients and hit us up to come once a week to take one of his classes. After sweating it up that first Thursday night we went across the street to a neighborhood bar/restaurant to eat and drink back all the calories we had just lost. This soon became a ritual, every Thursday night, same time, same place. Same people. More »

Am I Right, Ladies? Crap Only a Mother Could Love
Who let the moms out? Who? Who? Boo. Hoo. Boohoo. Ah, if only it were called future mother’s day then I’d actually be excited about this Sunday, amirightladies? But since my womb remains in the army reserves (and not in the good way) and the IRS doesn’t recognize cats as children, let’s celebrate the women who got us in this mess in the first place.
Stumped about what to get the lady who made you, broke you and made you clean up the pieces? Fear not, plenty of advertisers found ways to magically transform every piece of retail into a mother’s day gift. With presents like these, maybe this year she won’t let her phone go straight to voicemail! More »
Courtney Love Gives Estranged Daughter Frances Bean Unsolicited Advice Via Twitter
Looks like communications between Courtney Love and her daughter Frances Bean Cobain are strained, since Courtney went crazy on Twitter this morning “talking” to Bean. In the midst of her rant, Courtney said she didn’t want to be labeled one of the worst mothers in the world — but we doubt attempting communication via Twitter will put her up there among the best moms. Guess Mother’s Day brings out the crazy in everyone.
Courtney’s tweets seem to be motivated by pictures… More »

How To Talk To Your Mother About Aging
With Mother’s Day on the horizon, many of us are readying our calls, emails and those antiquated things called greeting cards as expressions of appreciation, love or to avoid Mom Guilt for the next four months.
As if the mother-daughter relationship isn’t difficult as it is, as the years pass it may get even trickier to navigate. I recently learned that saying “I love you” on a dedicated day is easy but saying “I’m worried about you getting older” isn’t… More »
