Mothers are living, breathing superheroes. They may not be able to fly (well, mama birds can), but their love and selflessness (and the mere fact that they carry us for 9 months and squeeze us out of veeeeery small spaces) are unparalleled. Today, in celebration of Mother’s Day, and to thank our mothers for the 1,203,982,099 hours of labor they’ve collectively experienced, we’ve compiled a list of amazing, real-life moms who are taking action on their day.

The King of Hollywood, Ryan Seacrest, as usual dominated his hosting duties on Wednesday’s "American Idol." I mean, he makes hosting look easy! Looking dapper as always, Ryan strutted his designer suit center stage, but did you notice the ‘6’ lapel pin he was wearing?

Even British boy band The Wanted feel unwanted sometimes. Who by? Christina Aguilera. After a recent visit to "The Voice," the band's Tom Parker called Christina "a total b*tch" for apparently refusing to look at and speak to them. They apologized, but now are back at it! Perhaps she was just intimidated? Good looks x (5 boys + 5 British accents) = speechless, in my book. Maybe not for Christina, but chill out boys! Millions of women around the world still kiss your glossy posters goodnight before bed.
