Whitney Houston plays Jordin Sparks’ mom in the new musical motion picture Sparkle, opening nationwide today. Queerty has been been asking our Twitter followers which famous lady they would want to be their dream mom. (Their #SparkleMom, if you will.)
And the responses are rolling in: Sigourney Weaver was mentioned more than once, as were Michelle Pfeiffer, Susan Sarandon and Sharon Stone.
In the funny moms category, Kathy Griffin beat out both Chelsea Handler and Sarah Silverman.
And how about Drag Moms? RuPaul would probably have some good advice for a young gay. Not to be forgotten, #SparkleDaddies Anderson Cooper, Jake Shears and John Waters were also included.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
After being chosen as a follower’s #AsianSparkleMom, Ugly Betty‘s Alec Mapa joined in on the conversation starter with his suggestion (right): Imelda Marcos, the fabulous former First Lady of the Philippines.
Twitter friends, today is your last chance to to share your Sparkle Mom suggestion, so log on to Twitter and make your pick. (Don’t forget to use “#SparkleMom” so we can all see!)
And whether funny or heartfelt, your nomination will appear on our special Sparkle Twitter feed.
