Madonna Voted Best Working Celebrity Mum

Madonna is the celebrity mum who best manages to combine work and motherhood, according to a new survey.
A massive 36 percent of parents picked the queen of pop, while Kate Moss came bottom of the survey, with just 1.1 percent of the vote.
Jules Oliver was second best with mega-boobed Jordan a surprisingly close third.
Kerry Katona was voted second worst overall.
Over 3,000 working parents were interviewed online by Living TV to find out the UK's attitude towards maternity leave, childcare issues and new parent prejudices in the work place.
The study found 44 per cent of women have received a negative reaction from employers when needing time off.
Over 65 per cent of new mums feel that childcare costs today are overwhelmingly expensive and unaffordable, with only seven per cent experiencing subsidised crèche facilities at work.
Londoners took the least maternity leave with over a third of women in the capital finding it a daily uphill struggle to cope with motherhood and a career.
Today, new fathers are entitled to just two weeks paternity leave, but over half felt that paternity leave should be extended.
When it comes to family and childcare issues, the North-South divide is never more evident.
Hardworking Scots proved to be the most traditional with 48 per cent of Scottish mothers claiming they would never take the role of the family breadwinner.
This is reinforced with a third of all Scottish men returning to work immediately after becoming a dad with no additional days off.
Diana Wolfin, founder of www.changingdirection.com, an organisation dedicated to helping women return to work after motherhood, said: "The whole issue of working mums, especially those returning after maternity leave, needs a PR makeover.
"Women who want, or need, to work can still be effective in the workplace, and any help employers can give in the short-term will be needed less in the long-term.
"Mums have a lot to offer in terms of skills and commitment and even celebrity mums show us that there is not a "one size fits all" answer.
Some try to juggle it all and others stay at home. Wherever you live and work, don't have unrealistic expectations of yourself. Supermum does not exist!"
