It doesn’t take much to be a ‘top celebrity mum’.

You don’t even need to have custody of your kids.

A ridiculous new poll from U.K. company Park Christmas Saving (who?)  has named Britney Spears its top showbiz parent.

Britters is a shining light of inspiration for all parents, according to voters, who placed her above Christina Aguilera  and Angelina Jolie.

You don’t even need to be alive to make the top 5 – dead British reality TV contestant Jade Goody finished fourth!

Nonsense.

Kate Hudson’s rumored relationship with baseball star Alex Rodriguez is apparently heating up — the New York Yankees third baseman has allegedly started introducing the actress to his best friends.

The Almost Famous star (above, enjoying the house beverage at the 2nd Annual Veuve Clicquot Manhattan Polo Classic last weekend) has been linked to Rodriguez for the last few weeks, and has been spotted in the crowd at recent Yankee games, evidently cheering the embattled A-Rod on.

Insiders say the couple is about to make their romance public; Hudson has allegedly introduced Rodriguez to her five-year-old son, Ryder.  A source told People, “It’s somewhat serious.  He introduced her to a bunch of his friends.”

Rodriguez was previously linked to Madonna around the time of her split with director Guy Ritchie, though both parties denied a relationship; Hudson, who shares Ryder with ex-husband Chris Robinson, recently split from on-again off-again boyfriend Owen Wilson.

We don’t know what to think of the pairing, provided we believe it’s real, which we’re not sure we do — Rodriguez is a great player, but he’s neurotic AND boring, not to mention a kerfuffle magnet.  Hudson’s role in Wilson’s recent emotional troubles is unclear, but her ability to make one cookie-cutter, vanilla, third-place-box-office rom-com after another is undisputed.  So now that we think about it, they’re kind of perfect for each other: pretty, vaguely annoying, and unlucky in love.  Buena suerte, kids!

That 70’s Show’s Wilmer Valderrama spent his Tuesday at the Licensing  International Expo 2009 at the Mandalay Bay Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas.  At first we ID’d his puffy friend here as Bob the Builder, but it’s actually the Disney Channel’s Handy Manny, whom we suspect is the “flying disc” to Bob’s Frisbee, if you know what we mean — and the whole thing seems like the faintly sad equivalent of modeling on a revolving platform at a car show.  Didn’t Valderrama just score an indie movie with Jason Ritter, and have karaoke night with Rihanna?  Shouldn’t his smile look a little less like a thin veneer over a magma lake of despair?

Current 007 Daniel Craig is keeping it cool — the James Bond franchise star has been made into an ice lolly.

The actor bested competition from Jude Law and Hugh Grant to become the UK’s coolest guy according to a poll of 1,000 women. And food manufacturer Del Monte celebrated the victory by making Craig’s muscular torso into a sweet treat for his female fans.

The limited edition Superfruit Smoothie lolly will be for sale in the UK during National Ice Cream Week, which began on Monday.  Now if you’ll excuse us, we have a flight to book…and puns about licking to craft.

Luke Perry, formerly Dylan McKay on Beverly Hills 90210 and recently seen (or…not) in no-budget schlock like Silent Venom, appears not to have gotten the memo that the ’90s are over.  He appeared on the green carpet for the Global Green USA 13th Annual Millennium Awards Saturday night in Santa Monica wearing a too-large sportcoat, pale jeans, and…a Taz tie?  And the guy thinks he’s too good to reprise the role of Dylan for the 90210 reboot?
