mom knows best?

Happy Monday!

This Florida mom took out a $500 newspaper ad to help her son land a wife by Christmas. He's apparently OK with mom's efforts, as he notes, "I figured it was worth a shot."

The story comes as Ryan Seacrest is about to premiere his new show, "Momma's Boys" -- in which bachelors' mothers weigh in on an eligible pool of single women.

In high school, I heard horror stories from friends who let their parents find them a date for formal dances.

But now, even Ryan Seacrest sees potential in parents' match-making skills.

Mom knows your favorite foods. Your annoying habits. Maybe even your clothing size.

But does she know your type?
