In a Mother’s Day Facebook post, Facebook COO and woman behind the Lean In empire Sheryl Sandberg examined what she had learned in the year since her husband’s death. Most of all: how difficult it is to be a single parent, even with her nearly unlimited resources.

Most moms are content to spend Mother’s Day being doted on by their well-meaning families: The sloppily-served eggs in bed, the unintelligible drawings, the poems with rhymes so tortured you can hear them scream.

The last time my mother and I had an actual conversation was on Mother’s Day 2014, when she told me that I shouldn’t have bothered calling her. Switching between Russian and heavily accented English, she said it was insulting for me to wish her well on this holiday when I hadn’t done anything to make her a happy…

Those of you celebrating Mother’s Day this weekend are probably spending today finalizing plans for a delightful Sunday brunch, crossing your fingers in the hopes that your card arrives on time, or setting a reminder on your phone so that you don’t forget to call.

Mother’s Day, the unfathomably bad new ensemble comedy by Garry Marshall, ends with a blooper reel. It’s not a particularly good blooper reel, but there is one great moment—perhaps the only good moment of the entire film. In it, Julia Roberts is seen in character (complete with that hideous wig) staring out the window…

Julia Roberts wears a wig in Mother’s Day, the latest in a string of avant-garde films from famed director Garry Marshall. But the unholy bob atop her head is not a new wig plucked from a discount hair emporium shortly before filming. It is an old wig. In fact, it is a wig Roberts herself has worn before.

From Harper’s Bazaar’s Laura Brown comes another floridly written celebrity profile, this time featuring Jennifer Aniston and a very large bird.

Susan Sarandon’s new film The Meddler—which opened at the Toronto Film Festival in the fall to strong reviews, if only for Sarandon’s performance in it—has been perfectly timed for a full release, coming out April 22, just a couple weeks before Mother’s Day on May 8.

Oh, look. Another Garry Marshall ensemble comedy about a holiday that typically (and understandably) doesn’t have movies made about it in which actors of varying degrees of fame are thrown into a Vitamix along with a screenplay written by a robot, pureed until reaching the consistency of chunky vomit, and lit like a…

For Mother’s Day, Mariah’s manager gifted her with a thousand-dollar cake dusted in real gold, crafted in the shape of a size eight platform stiletto heel with a strap in the shape of a butterfly. The only way this cake would be more perfectly Mariah is if it were delivered and consumed within the magical confines of…

What’s the best thing to do after teaming up with another bro and calling your coworker a slut? Why, wishing her a Happy Mother’s Day and misspelling her name on social media, of course!

It was never apparent to me, when my little brother was watching wrestling 24/7, that the man demanding to know if we could smell what “The Rock” was cooking or referring to haters as “jabronis” would become a cultural icon outside of professional wrestling. But the Instagram he posted of his mom yesterday should make…

Before we move on from Mother’s Day, let’s take a moment with John Oliver to appreciate the grand irony of this particular holiday and its accompanying orgy of marketing: “In America, there is nothing we wouldn’t do for moms—apart from one major thing.” Which is, of course, paid maternity leave. Motherhood: we love it…

To celebrate Mother’s Day, the Jezebel staff is sharing photos of our mothers, as well as a few words on what makes them the best, the worst or the craziest. Whether they did right by us or let us down, our moms found a way to shape us into who we are and we’re here to celebrate that, whatever it may mean. We invite…

Hillary Clinton’s latest campaign video is a Mother’s Day themed affair. In it Clinton pays homage to her own mother, celebrates the birth of her granddaughter, and shifts into the issue of paid family leave. “It’s outrageous that America is the only country in the developed world that doesn’t guarantee paid leave,”…

At the bottom of a crowded subway stairwell one recent night, I got lodged behind a mother and her toddler-age son. She was bending down to level with him, his tiny primary-colored backpack slung over her left shoulder and a vinyl grocery tote in her right fist. The two were going over that night’s dinner plans.

It’s nearly Mother’s Day, so get ready for some holiday themed content! This week’s Pissing Contest is all about the mamas! Tell us your happy mom stories, tell us your sad ones, tell us the ones about weird vacations and awkward interactions. As always, we’ll post the best of the best next week!

Ciara released a video tribute to little baby Future today in honor of Mother’s Day. One interesting thing about this video is that she waited six months to tell her parents that she was pregnant.

Queen Mother Tina Knowles Lawson, newly married, has written an open letter to her children—Beyoncé, Solange, Kelly Rowland and niece Angie and, in theory, the rest of us—for the occasion of mother’s day, at Time. It is a minor revelation.

Kissing babies is so passé. Hillary Clinton is taking the Political Stunt game up a notch by offering to call at least one lucky mom for Mother’s Day. Maybe even your mom.
