Denise does her best to keep the tabloids from harming her children. Lola and Sam are the daughters of Denise and her ex-husband Charlie Sheen, so there is always media to protect the children from. Making the occasional guest appearance on television shows, making movies, and being a mother for two little girls keeps Denise busy. With an ex like Sheen, whose antics are becoming more flamboyant, it is easy to see why she is one of the best celebrity single moms.

Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

i am just glad that they have the power to be great moms even if they have to raise their children alone.

I don't get all this admiration and adulation people have for celebrity mums. A mum's job is damm hard whether you are famous or not. Sure celebrities have to contend with people sticking their noses into their private lives but they have the money to give their children the very best in life and protect them from many of the harsh realities of the world that "normal" mums have to teach their children to cope with. Surely it is more difficult to have to hold down 2 jobs to make ends meet after a divorce for example, than it is is to worry that the chaffeur hasn't turned up to drive the kids to school and you've got an appointment with the manucurist. I certainly know who I have more admiration for.

Its need to be great strenght to take resposibility of children alone...

Reese Witherspoon just got married recently, but I agree, she was a great single mother :)

I agree Sheila........you can't judge by what you do or who you are....it is hard to be a single mom period. Being a single mom is a second job in itself. Kudos to all the single moms, famous or not.
