With the Jen/Angie war still raging on, it seems like public favor has slipped back into Jennifer Aniston’s hands. In a poll done by AOL-sponsored ParentDish.com, mothers voted that they would rather have Jen be trusted with their children than Angelina. Ellen Degeneres and Portia de Rossi were number one, with Dina Lohan and Courtney Love at the bottom of the list. No surprises there.
Ellen DeGeneres and her partner Portia de Rossi — who have no children — topped a ParentDish.com poll of more than 10,000 moms that asked which star they would feel most comfortable leaving their kids with.
They nabbed 31 percent of votes, while the single Aniston came in second with 22 percent. Jolie and beau Brad Pitt — who have six kids — nabbed 18 percent of votes; Oprah Winfrey got just nine percent.
Jolie also came in at the bottom in a list of five best celebrity mothers. (Jennifer Garner topped the list, followed by first lady Michelle Obama, who tied with Reese Witherspoon.)
The worst celeb moms? Courtney Love and Dina Lohan.
The poll, which was conducted to mark Mother’s Day on Sunday, was held on AOL’s parenting website ParentDish.com between April 23-May 5.

The Jen/Angie feud has been waging for years, and there is no end in sight. Just today, we told you about new reports saying that Angelina was intent on sabotaging Jennifer.
Both of them must be sick of it by now, but it seems like Jennifer is finally getting the upper hand. For a long time, everyone thought of Brad and Angie as saints – adopting kids from around the world and spending time and money on charities while Jen did a press tour for He’s Just Not That Into You by talking incessantly about her years-old former marriage. But it seems like the media has turned against Angelina. Whether the reports of her boob jobs and miscarriages are accurate or not doesn’t really matter – the point is that the media is trying to dig up dirt on her and Brad. For some reason they’re no longer media darlings.
Now what do you think: who would you trust with your kids?
Here’s Jennifer on the German TV show “Wetten Das…” on February 28th. Header of Angelina appearing on “The Today Show” in November and Jennifer on the set of “Marley and Me” last spring. Images thanks to WENN.com .
There is no way north of hell I would trust Jennifer Aniston with a kid of mine. She doesn’t even like kids.
Say what you will about Angelina, but nobody ever accused her of being a bad mother.
Yay for Ellen and Portia! 🙂
Could this be any more retarded?
I would feel more comfortable with Jen babysitting because all I see Angie’s kids eat is Cheetos. I’m not sure I want my kids pumped up of junk food.
I’d pick the one who has experience with children. Yes, Aniston has a movie coming out and it looks like a total loser so we have to ramp up the “hate Angie” brigade to make sure someone buys a ticket. Hate to be so cynical but it’s a tried and true PR scheme, and unfortunately it works. The rags love to play along, so it’s been a 4+ yr match in PR heaven. My dog I’d leave with Aniston, kids no way!
I guess my question is, if celebitchy is as tired of the Angelina/Jennifer feud as you say, why add to it by making THAT the focal point of the story? Considering neither of them even topped the list..
Of course they’d pick Maniston those mom jean wearing, cheeto eatin, mini- van driving, welfair collectin, soccer moms! Jellous H8ters!
GOD BLESS THE JOLIE-PITTS!!!!11
I think there would be too much chaos at Angie’s house and my daughter would be lost in the crowd. Aniston could do one-on-one babysitting, but she seems too involved with her own beauty/diet/exercise regimens to want to get too involved with a child. So that’s why I think Ellen would be great. What does she charge, $40,000 an hour?
I would pick Angelina in a hot minute. What is wrong with a few cheetos from time to time? My kids haven’t died from their occasional cheeto.
I am so sick of the whole Aniston/Jolie supposed fight crap.
Seriously all Moms are mom jean wearing, cheeto eating people. I think I take offence to that. I wear nothing but designer clothes and haven’t eaten a cheeto in forever.
Now back to the point. I would pick Jennifer any day over Angelina. Angelina has a history of drug abuse, not someone I would want watching my kids, no matter how children she racks up from around the world.
Let’s see, a woman who wore the blood of her ex-husband around her neck, slept with her mother’s boyfriend, plays with knives and guns, possibly wears latex suits while having kinky sex with married men..now the question is who to leave the kiddies with? Gosh darn that’s a difficult question..
what silly poll..i would never let my nonexistent children with one of these ladies. I would prefer TommyGirl.
o_0….somebody actually polled people on this? haha
this site sucks
Jennifer A. is just to negative and selfish to care for a child. Jen is an admitted pot head, what kind of mothers voted? Octomom apparently.
jolie fans seem to defy all logic… it was only a mere 4 or 5 years ago she was a nutball wearing viles of blood, talking about knives, full on making out with her brother, talking about having sex in the limo and making a family with someone else’s husband…
i don’t care either for jolie or aniston (i don’t know them) but i don’t get the aniston hate… what did she ever do to deserve all the hate? lose a husband to someone else? yeah, what a bitch!
Where are Courtney,Sheryl and Laura Dern on the list. Jen’s friends that are mothers
Social services in the USA and Western countries would not allow Angelina to adopt, which is why she has to go to corrupt and impoverished third world countries.
The instability of past mental and drugs abuse, doesn’t bode well for caring for children.
I said it for years now that Angie needs to get help instead of adopting and dragging them all over the world.
haha some people sure seem to be obessed with jennifer aniston pr team… a poll done in anticipation of mothers day is blamed on her pr team just because she happens to feature positively on the list haha; talk about over reaching
so what if those so called soccer mom perfer her childfree ass to some other people, why is that a problem ? those so called soccer mom that some people seem to think have low standard also picked a lesbian couple as first place; thats say a huge lot about how the soccer moms have move with the times when normally the image people had of soccer mom were that of conservative or middle american women
It must be hard being a Angelina Jolie fan these days. But heck keep attacking Jen makes you look small.
when did the media turn on brangelina
I wouldn’t let Angelina babysit my dog…
“There is no way north of hell I would trust Jennifer Aniston with a kid of mine. She doesn’t even like kids.”
wherever did you hear this? source? how do you know she doesn’t like kids? just because she doesn’t have any? I don’t either, but I do surely love all of my nieces and nephews. I don’t want to live with them and care for them 24/7, but I’ll happily take care of them for an afternoon, a day, a week, whatever.
“Say what you will about Angelina, but nobody ever accused her of being a bad mother.”
Actually, people have accused her of that. whether or not it’s warranted is another story.
I wouldn’t pick either one of them. Jen smokes (I’d worry that she’d do it around the kid) and Angie lets Maddox keep a knife collection.
I think I’d go with Ellen and Portia.
to “her dog ran away”…you know Octomom would have voted Jolie…she mangled her face in an attempt to look like her!
wow, in that top pic of aniston, you can really see her lipo-ed thighs.
Bummer. I was at least hoping her BODY (which is extraordinary) was real.
“Actually, people have accused her of that. whether or not it’s warranted is another story.”
******************************************
My point exactly. You can’t believe 99% of what the Aniston fans and the tabloids, which the Aniston fans are supporting, say about Angelina. If the tabloids accused her of human sacrifice the Aniston fans would be all over it. They live to hate this woman. It’s like it’s their sole reason for existing. Five years after the Big Split and they are still praying from Brad and Angelina to break up. To what purpose? He isn’t going back to Aniston.
Would I trust Rachel Greene to look after my hypothetical kids (because, let’s face it, so many people cannot distinguish between the two), not really; nor would I want Jennifer Aniston, who is rumoured to like the illegal stuff too.
I don’t know what latex catsuits have got to do with anything, but at least stray daubs of paint and blackcurrant juice would pose no threat. 🙄
Ellen would be a BRILLIANT babysitter though (but why does she come as a joint deal with Portia? – Jennifer Garner isn’t lumped in with Ben Affleck!)
I’d NEVER leave my kids with Angelina Jolie!!!!!!!!!
I’m sure she’d teach them vaulable lessons like how to develop an eating disorder, smoke heroin, make-out with their brother, play with knives, and grow up to be filthy dirty wh0res who sleep with married men!!
No thank you. I’ll take Aniston any day.
None of the above.

pot meet kettle haha
maybe its time you also took your own advise
chicamorena, your bias is so clearly showing.
“You can’t believe 99% of what the Aniston fans and the tabloids, which the Aniston fans are supporting, say about Angelina. If the tabloids accused her of human sacrifice the Aniston fans would be all over it. They live to hate this woman. It’s like it’s their sole reason for existing. Five years after the Big Split and they are still praying from Brad and Angelina to break up. To what purpose? He isn’t going back to Aniston.”
Let’s take this in pieces…
“You can’t believe 99% of what the Aniston fans and the tabloids, which the Aniston fans are supporting, say about Angelina.”
first, you can say the EXACT SAME THING but switch out the two names. you can’t believe 99% of what Jolie fans (or the tabloids) say about Aniston. pot, meet kettle.
second, are you implying that Jolie fans DON’T buy tabloids? if so, you are either supremely out of touch or lying through your teeth. both “sides” support the mags.
“If the tabloids accused her of human sacrifice the Aniston fans would be all over it. They live to hate this woman. It’s like it’s their sole reason for existing.”
again, switch the names and your statement still holds true.
regarding the wishing for a breakup, I don’t understand that part. if they’re happy together, more power to them. however, NO ONE knows what might happen in the future. that includes you. so your claim that “he’s not going back to Aniston” is just your speculation. stranger things have happened, and anything is possible.
I wouldn’t trust my kids (or my husband) with Angelina Jolie.
Anyone who would trust a spoiled brat actor to look after their kids must be be nuts. These narcissists would toss them to their staff while they went about their day: suntanning, doing yoga, getting their hair done for the measly sum of $50,000, drinking, shopping, PR/self-promotion, and making the occasional crappy movie. NEITHER of these biatches would ever touch a child of mine. Like ever.
Some people hate Angie because she glorifies seducing another woman’s husband. And everyone knows a skank that has done that to a good friend, sister, etc. Good thing Angie doesn’t “want” to marry Brad, since only 3% of men marry the women they left their wives for.
I guess the moms polled were just scared that AJ might not actually return their kids if she babysat them. You know, since she likes to collect them and all.
o
chic, same thing could be said about jolie fans… there seem to be nutcases on both sides of this purported battle… i’ve seen no better things said of aniston on many sites… there seem to be a lot of accusations flying around when it comes to these two… let’s face it though, aniston IS the jilted one, so at least there’s some reason for sympathizing with her…
i think it’s a lot of women’s nightmare to have some gorgeous, sex goddess come along and lure away their husband…
ultimately, who gives a flying eff… all celebrities suck on some level… least of which is the fact that they make way too much money for the average person to relate to them… no matter what happens, they’ve still got their posh mansions to go back to, whereas if the average 40 year old was left by her husband, she might be left stranded in the cold… so who cares what trajedy befalls them.. now back to my average, boring life 😀
WOW..can you feel the love for Jolie and Aniston?(Massive eye-roll) I would not leave my spawn with Ellen and her lovely wife..cuz I know if I did so they would come home with cookie breath..exhausted from playing blind musical chairs and they would forever view me as lacking in the parent department cuz nobody would be as funny or brilliant or cool as P&E..
Amazing how so many of you know so much about Angelina. Yet most of your negative comments are from Tab reports. It is amazing how stupid. yes stupid people can be. You believe every lie these tabs print about Angelina and yes Jennifer too. Get a freaking life. You don’t know anything about how Angelina takes car of her children. You have never been in her home. And taking a tab report that last week said she was pregnant and now it is something new. I just do not get the hate projected towards this woman. If she was with YOUR man fine, but please stop hating someone who has done nothing to you.. Some sick people waling around. Funny how some of you claim to hate hearing about her but you are able to quote every lie printed.. That sounds like obsession to me.
You got to be kidding me right, when did the tabs become real media? If you people believe what is written in the tabs, then I really feel sorry for you all.
I am sure that Angie is crying in her sleep cause some moms prefer Aniston as a babysiter than her lol. So stupid
Jen Wind… Jennifer Aniston is known to use cannibis and cocaine regularly. She miscarried a child because of her coke habit in 2002.
I have to say, I was never a fan of either of these women, but since Jen’s press tour for He’s Just Not That Into You, I. Can. Not. Stand. Her. It was the infamous Vogue Cover that put me over the edge with her. Shes standing there promoting a movie (about recognizing when guys are not interested in you) and rehashing her break up of 4+ years ago? It’s so pathetic.
I also have a habit of rooting for the underdog, and the tabloids have really been awfully mean to Angelina lately. Every week they publish more awful, improbable, and crude stories – often blatant lies! She is growing on me, her family is very cute. She seems like a good mom, the pictures that brad took of her and her family were very beautiful and they seemed so content.
I heard Angelina fired her publicist. Now her and Brad make their own statements and schedule their own publicity? … This may be the backlash of losing those important connections in the entertainment industry. Never underestimate the people underneath you! Brad and Angie might need to hire a publicist who can whip these tabloids into printing truth!
angelina jolie is a homewrecker, adultress and will ALWAYS be. it’s amazing to me that the press could ever try to make jennifer the villian. i hope brad really did screw the nanny.
When are ppl going to realize the media likes to build you up just to knock you down, and to quote what they say about any of these ladies as facts when none of these reporters live or spend 24 hours a day with them, shows ignorance on our part, not the gossip mags. It’s their jobs to tell us bulls-it about celebrities. This week Angelina, next week, Jennifer, etc., etc. That said, these poles only have a few hundred ppl voting, they do not speak for the mojority of America or the rest of the world. Who knows who really would win this pole if everyone voted.
I find the comments that Aniston isn’t fit to watch kids because she smokes pot, from the hardcore Jolie fans hysterical in a pathetic way.
Jolie was an admitted heroin abuser.
Before the rocket scientists all come out, let’s be really clear on something: There is no such thing as a casual user of heroin. You’re addicted from your first time. There are plenty of rumors floating that she still uses. I’m not saying she does or doesn’t because unlike some, I realize I have no way of knowing.
The point is how can a pot smoker be more unfit than a heroin user, whether it’s past or not is anyone’s guess.
Which one of you know the last time Aniston smoked pot? No I didn’t think so.
It’s disgusting the way this site defends Jolie. She’s a homewrecker and always will be. I hope Brad really did sleep with the nanny.
this site is getting more and more disgusting each day, its like reading dlisted or perezhilton
What has JA done to make people so adamant that they would never leave their kids with her?? Besides the fact that they hate her for some petty reasons. I doubt she would smoke anything while taking care of someone else’s kids. Anything else…?
I would pick Ellen too.
Honestly? I’d pick one of the nannies. Of any of the stars. Probably the one Gwen Stefani has for Kingston, I see her out with the boy more than Stefani and she seems pretty competent.
LOL at CrazyMary. That’s exactly what I was thinking. Personally, I would probably leave my kid(s) with Angelina. They’d have a lot of other kids to play with and get ice cream from Brad Pitt. Best. Day. Ever!!
And everyone knows the middle American, soccer Mom vote is NOT gonna go to Angelina. She scares the crap out of them. (No response required from some mom who’s all, “I beg to differ. She doesn’t scare me. She’s a ZOMG HOMEWRECKING $LUT!!!!” I get it. I read Ned’s posts.) /sarcasm
JennAnn: At least Michael K (on Dlisted) makes fun of everyone, as opposed to the CB writers, who deify Angie and slam Anniston at every possible opportunity. I personally couldn’t give a rat’s turd about either of them, but the constant barrage of “ZOMG Angie rules” nonsense is tiresome.
Angelina never struck me as somebody who genuinely likes children. She likes the prestige of being a supermom, and she has been having kids to secure Brad. She never seems to really enjoy her kids. Aniston actually seems like somebody who genuinely likes and enjoys children. Nothing special, just normal human affection for kids and animals.
No question, I would choose Aniston.
And I think they’re BOTH narcissistic and ridiculous.
Codzilla, thank you…my thoughts exactly.
Question for the Aniston fans: What exactly did Angelina do to make you hate her so much?
Please do not recycle any tired “homewrecking husband-stealer” bullshit. You can’t wreck a home that was already wrecked and you can’t steal anyone who doesn’t want to be stolen.
I’m getting the feeling from you that what you really hate Angelina for is making Brad happy and giving him a family. Well, Aniston could have done the same thing, but that obviously wasn’t her priority. Her priority was her career. She put her career before her man and ended up with the predictable results. Some people never learn, and she’s one of them.
To Stewie: if you really believe there is a snowball’s chance in hell that Brad will leave Angie and their children and go back to Aniston, there’s a bridge in Brooklyn I’ll sell to you cheap.
Right Jen has a movie coming out that’s what this is about. Jen has not opened one movie without the triangle. Desperate much.
As a mom, I’d have to say I’d pick Angelina over Jennifer, mostly because I know Jennifer has a pretty solid pot habit and that’s not cool around kids.
That being said, my one kid is old enough to babysit other kids, so this isn’t an issue for me and it’s a dumb question anyway.
Someone hit the nail on the head early in the thread though: Aniston’s got a movie coming out so of course we’ve got to get all the drama bullsh%t stirred up again. I get so sick of it.
I would definetly go with Ellen and Portia.. hands down !!!!!!!
What a tempest in a teapot. All you need is a bit of Angie, a bit of Aniston, mix – and boom, out come the nutbars from BOTH factions.
That being said, to weigh in on the important question of who I want to babysit my imaginary children? I’m gonna go with Angie – there’s a good chance she’ll take them under her wing when I don’t come back for them, and then I can go back to being blissfully childfree. 🙂
Once again Codzilla, well said.
I didn’t like AJ before she hooked up with Brad….that just made me like her even less…
Agree with posters above – Codzilla said it best.
Wow… so for those of you who are worried about Jen’s alleged pot smoking are you less worried about Jolie’s alleged use every hard drug known to man? And Jolie went on the record about that too. Hmmm pot smoker or poly drug user obsessed with knives and blood? That’s a hard one.
To Chicamorena:
I’m somewhat of an Aniston fan, but like Jolie as well, so I guess I’m in the minority, since most boards seem to be “either or” with the 2 of them.
I always kind of wondered the same thing in reverse. Whatever happned to end J/B’s marriage will really never be known except to them. But there seems to be such hatred towards Aniston and I just don’t get it. I don’t think she’s blabbed alot about Brad. People seem to blame her because the tabloids recycle and rehash old quotes and interviews.
Very few people seem to be able to have the same standards for both women.
I’m with Casey — they both seem like they’d be capable of watching a child temporarily.
Are people seriously worried that Jennifer Aniston is going to smoke a joint around children, or that Angelina Jolie is going to don a catsuit and seduce a married man with her babysitting charge(s) in tow?
They’re both intelligent adults. Pretty sure they could handle babysitting without doing any lasting damage to the children involved.
However, Dina Lohan or Courtney Love would be a totally different story.
These idiots lead lives of extreme indulgence and obscene luxury and view kids- not as an obligation but as another expression of their over-weening needs and desires. Any parent who would want a celebrity, one of these tainted, self-absorbed fevered egos to watch your kids deserves to have them taken away. Bar none. Not one of them deserves to sit in the same room with my kids let alone spend an entire hour or longer with them unsupervised.
Yes Hieronymus Grexx, because these celebs are dying to watch your kids. These polls are not create by celebs, they are created by bored tabloid writers who just want something to get ppl riled up, and it def. worked on you. Take a chill pill why don’t you.
truth: Did you not bother to notice the subject of this thread? The writer posed a hypothetical question and invited us to answer. If Grexx had fawned over Angie, I’m sure your response would have been different.
@ Jules: my thoughts EXACTLY!
I hope brad freaked the nanny too?!!?!?!?!?
To Casey:
I believe the “hatred” you see directed at Aniston is a backlash to the vitriol directed at Angelina by Aniston’s fans over the past four and a half years.
It’s one thing to hate on Angelina; she’s an adult, she can take it. But posting vicious messages hoping her children die? You have to admit that’s a tad extreme, but I have seen that sentiment expressed over and over on many blogs. Why take their spite out on her children? That is something I will never be able to understand.
“But posting vicious messages hoping her children die?”
Wow, I have never seen anyone post that type of message before. If someone has, then yes, that is crazy. But that is not a general consensus among JA fans, not in the least.
To Casey:
I believe the “hatred” you see directed at Aniston is a backlash to the vitriol directed at Angelina by Aniston’s fans over the past four and a half years.
Chicamorena: That’s beyond sick and only a truly unbalanced person would do something like that, about AJ’s children OR anyones elses’s.
But to blame Aniston or the majority of her fans because there’s a couple whack jobs out there is just as nonsensical.
Neither Aniston or Jolie are saints beyond reproach that deserve that kind of narrow minded worship. They are actresses that are just as flawed as the rest of the world, living their lives as they choose.
All Jolie fans are not Aniston haters.
All Aniston fans are not Jolie haters.
Everybody needs to get past this whole triangle thing. The really funny part of all this is I think the 3 of them are way past it.
Now if only some of the fans could follow suit.
Yes Hieronymus Grexx, because these celebs are dying to watch your kids.
Swing and a miss, but thanks for playing.
You responded, Swing and a hit. You’re welcome.
To sarcra: I certainly hope it isn’t. But I’ve seen dozens of messages like that posted on the internet. Check out FemaleFirst and DListed sometime. It makes you start to wonder what kind of celebrity attracts fans like that.
why ? WHY ALL HATERS DO THAT ?
Simple, Angelina is a psycho and I don’t want my child starting to read and know that I was such a parent that I left her with someone like Angelina.
@Chicamorena: “It makes you start to wonder what kind of celebrity attracts fans like that.”
Every celebrity has crazy, weird or unbalanced fans. Even your saints, believe it or not, have fans who wish that Jennifer Aniston would jump off of a cliff or die in a tanning bed (which I’ve read somewhere before, even though she doesn’t use them) or die of skin cancer or wish infertility on her or any number of other things.
There are insane fans on both sides, stop acting like Jennifer Aniston is the only one who has them.
Yeah it’s all about Jen’s movie coming out. Wonder what pr drama is coming up next to get attention for JA.
Too bad Jen can’t open 1 movie on her own.
Hash, wishing death on somebody via defenestration or any other means is ugly. But remember I said it’s one thing to dump on Angelina; it’s another thing altogether to dump on her children.
Wishing Aniston would fry herself on a tanning bed is mean and silly. Wishing an innocent little girl would die of AIDS is in another league altogether, IMO.
Maria, if you’re over 12 you should be embarrassed.
This article is about an independant poll that neither one of them had anything to do with. It has nothing to do with films that either has done.
Did you read the article or are you too busy hating someone to be bothered with pesky little details like reality?
Angie does not even watch her own children–remember her promise to take time off for them?
Ib — she took 15 months off for them. She didn’t work from November of 2007 to February of 2009. “Salt” will wrap next month and then Brad will start filming another movie. She and Brad alternate child care responsibility. When one is doing a movie, the other one stays home with the kids. Sounds like a good plan to me.
