Who's Hollywood's Worst Parent?

There doesn't seem to be a shortage of people willing to use their children for publicity, but who does it best, or in this case, worse?

So, in light of Richard Heene's balloon now bursting in more ways than one, we got to thinking about other parents who've managed to use their spawn for a little added attention.

Take this weekend, for instance, when Jon Gosselin, famous only for being a father of eight, got all lovey-dovey for the cameras during a kids-free night out in NYC, while his BFF Michael Lohan continued to express so-called concern for his troubled daughter Lindsay. Of course, not to be outdone by these douches dads, Nadya "Octomom" Suleman made sure to remind us of her existence by re-emerging from hiding to shop and later play in the park with at least part of her big brood.

Your move, Richard.
