The legendary newspaper publisher was an only child - a common trait of mama's boys - who later took over the reins at the San Francisco Examiner. He went on to accept money from his mother to build up New York Morning Journal and later the Chicago Examiner. He didn't marry until he was 40 years old and many claimed his affinity for his mom was "unnatural".

In 2003, Diddy was voted, "Hollywood's Top Mama's Boy". He's been quoted as saying she's "like having a sister" who "never really treated me like a kid, but when I needed to be babied, she babied me." Meanwhile, his mom has said, "He spoils and makes me happy." Nothing wrong with that. This quote pretty much sums it up for Puff:

I was definitely a mama's boy; I was dragged into bargain shopping for the right pieces. My aunt was a seamstress. My uncle George was gay. My grandmother did the robes for the church, and she did the hems for the choir - she did them cheaper than the local cleaners. My father was an alcoholic, and he died when I was three.

You know the story. If not, here goes: His mom, Norma, told him all women (except herself) are whores. The two of them lived together in a state of total co-dependence after his dad died. Then she takes on a lover, Norman gets jealous and offs 'em. He keeps her corpse in the house, wears her clothing and goes on his spree. Totally normal. The lesson here, moms? All women might be whores except you, but let the kid bone.

The lanky, sheepish son played by Topher Grace is the youngest of two kids - the other being a slutty older sister. His mom's doting and dealing with separation anxiety while his dad's a cranky vet. Dad drops the hammer, mom's there to comfort and console. Sure, he inexplicably had a steady girlfriend for most of the show, and even more ridiculous he broke up with her to teach in Africa. He returns and she takes him back. Fiction can be fun.
