What do Angelina Jolie, Octo Mom and Kate Gosselin have in common?

They're all on Babble.com's new "Most Controversial Mom" list.

Jolie comes in the No. 9 spot -- while Nadya "Octo Mom" Suleman (who, sources once told Us Weekly, had plastic surgery to look like Jolie) comes in first, and Gosselin in second.

Jolie earned the No. 2 spot on the site's "Best Mom" list.

Even though Babble.com notes it's "easy to despise someone like Angelina Jolie" -- it explains Jolie got the title because of her work as a UNCHR Goodwill Ambassador, $1 million donation to Haiti with Brad Pitt and for supporting an orphanage in Amman, Jordan.

PHOTOS: Who are the most charitable celebs?

"Sure, she may have an eccentric, brother-kissing, blood vial-wearing past, but now she’s a mother who instills empathy, compassion and generosity — and for that, we love her," the site notes of the mom of six.

Michelle Obama was named the No. 1 "Best Mom."

    Amy I didn't care for Ali's comments but I say let them stand. This way people can see racism exists. Also I'm not fans of Angelina or Brad but wow, some of you people are really harsh with your comments about them.

    Us Weekly, you need to remove Ali's comment. It's sad that racism still exists. There's no need for that especially when talking about her children.

    WOW ... all the hate words and all the debate about celebs you don't even know. Just because you read everything you can get your hands on about their lives do not mean you know them. Anonymous - Yes, no one gives a rat ass about you and your kids cuz you are unknown. Be thankful for that, unless you are mentally ill and like to put your life and your kids' personal business under a microscope for all to see and judge (ie Kate Gosselin) :) oops ... that's me passing judgement on someone i don't even know (i don't even watch her show) To those to trashed Angie ... you are entitled to your opinion. However, i must point out one thing ... it takes two to tango. I don't know the Pitts, Anniston, Jolie personally nor do i care to know. I only wanted to say ... it takes more than one personal to wreck a marriage and all three are responsible!

    I agree with Mrs T - Ali, that was racist. Mrs. Obama has kept her children almost completely out of the public eye, unlike Ms. Jolie. Not knowing the first lady, and being a bigoted racist gives you no right to say something like that. Mrs. Obama, Tina Fey, Jennifer Garner and Reese Witherspoon have kept their children away from the prying eyes of the papparazzi, and given them a wonderful childhood as well. You should think twice before insulting a mother for doing her job.

    Wow Ali, racist much? I don't think Michelle is the number one mom but I'm not going to resort to racial slurs to prove it.

    Angie is No. 1 Mom. The kids are so cute and lucky!!!!!!!!!!!!

    While I realise the humanitarian things she does, and she seems like a loving mother, I'm not sure about some of things I hear, ie.that the kids are allowed to go to bed whenever they want, eat whatever they want, sounds like they don't have enough structure. And if they struggle to handle the kids they have, why do they always want more?

    I'd rather see her on the most naked mom list.

    How is Michelle Obama voted #1 "Best Mom" really...is it just because of who she is? I'm sure that she wasn't voted #1 "Best Mom" for 2007...hmmm...got to love politics.

    i am so tires about hearing about Anglina and brat pitt yes their very rich but honestly who wants to keep hearing about their kids i have 3 children and no one ever wants to know about the normal poor person's children they both could give a rats ass about our kids so who the hell cares about theirs ? i am also so tired of hearing about every move that they both make with their kids sire aint me!!!!!!!!!!

  • May 28, 2010 - 11:11pm Judy McKeoun

    Angie is a good mother as far as I can see what is people's problem? She work's like most Mom's and the kid's are with her and Brad. Are you by chance jealous? I am not and admire her for what she has done for not only her children but other's as well.

  • May 28, 2010 - 8:11pm My2CentsNOW

    Please.. Angelina dresses her daughter like a little boy!

  • April 01, 2010 - 4:39pm edna

    i agree...her nannies should be the no.1 mom

  • April 01, 2010 - 2:03pm kim

    @me Are you living under a rock? If you haven't noticed Angelina Jolie is a skank. She slept around like a tramp and yet she's being glorified. This just goes to show the sad state American is in, and who we are choosing to look up to. Also @ me we are not asking if she's pretty or not we're talking about her mothering skills so read the question or statement before you write comments.

    Angelina Jolie the 2 best mom? Honestly, that must be an April Fool's joke. She buys her kids daggers and they're all under 12. She sells her kids photos for money when she's already rich. She is completely unethical and a homewreceker who should not be aloud to adopt. She is the worst mom.

  • March 31, 2010 - 5:18pm anon

    I think I agree with Val. Jennifer Garner seems to be the best mother. It is so sweet the way she interacts with her kids.

  • March 30, 2010 - 3:26pm BigEvil

    @kimberley-how did you happen to all that stuff about Angelina?Are you living with them or are you stalking them?I know it's a stupid poll anyway but please refrain from making unfounded accusations.Whether she is a good mom or not is non of our business.It should only matter to the kids and Brad.Atleast they take the kids wherever they go.That should be commended.

  • March 28, 2010 - 11:35pm Kimberly

    I cannot believe this woman was even considered on a best mother's list. She acquires children no matter if they are true orphans or not, leaves them with nannies unless she wants to parade them around for photo ops. The children are rarely seen smiling or doing happy kid-friendly activities. Unbelievable.

    the other two $kank$ have nothing in common with Angelina Jolie...

  • March 28, 2010 - 1:00pm me

    i agree... angelina jolie should have been recognized as No. 1 mom... she's beautiful... caring for others... and is very hands on with her family...
