Who is the most obnoxious celebrity?

by Bob Sassone, posted Jul 14th 2008 12:50PM

Simon CowellI know, I know, there are so many choices that your mind is about to implode. But readers of Parade.com did the work for us and they've voted for the most obnoxious celebrity in the world and the "winner" is ...

... Simon Cowell! The American Idol host got 42% of the vote, followed by Donald Trump (37%), Gordon Ramsay (12%), and Spencer Pratt (9%). How the hell did Pratt only get 9%? Maybe people were uneasy about even confirming that he's a "celebrity."

Parade also polled readers on several other categories, including Best Daytime Talk Show Host. Ellen crushed Oprah 40% to 11%. If it's any consolation, Oprah did come in first in the "Who Would You Like To Have As Your Next Door Neighbor?" poll. I think readers would love the idea of being able to go over to her house and borrow some money a cup of sugar.

36% of readers would like to see a big screen Friends reunion movie. So would Warner Brothers.

There was a time I would have said Howard Stern. (Actually, there was a time I would have said Jane Fonda, but that's a bit dated nowadays.)

Of the four listed, I've never heard of Pratt, so I have no opinion.

Ramsey can be obnoxious, but he's mostly confined to his own environment (gourmet cooking).

Cowell and Trump have made a bigger impact on the world at large. Between them, I'll vote for Trump, since he's sphere of influence is greater, and because I so often disagree with who he chooses as the Apprentice winners. Now that IS obnoxious...LOL!

Was Rosie O'Donnell anywhere on that list? She's my first choice for most obnoxious.

I don't know who Spencer Pratt is, either.

Don't know who Pratt is. Maybe that's why he only got 9%.
