Rosie voted most annoying celeb? I demand a recount!
I'll tell you who's annoying, the people voted Rosie O'Donnell as the most annoying celebrity of 2007! C'mon. Are you telling me, that this Emmy-winning talk show host, actress, author and activist is more annoying than Britney Spears? The fact that Britney did not even make the top five kinda throws the credibility of this whole Parade Magazine online poll out the window anyway.
But, Rosie actually answered her critics on this one:"I, apparently, am the most annoying celebrity, according to Parade magazine," Rosie said in the video blog, made while in a swimming pool with two of her four children. "Frankly, most celebrities are annoying. So, I agree, celebrities are annoying. The fact that I am one is annoying, and I suppose I am the most annoying – but, whatever."
Nearly 2,000 Parade readers voted in the poll, with 42 percent calling the former View co-host the most irksome – followed by Paris Hilton, with 24 percent of the vote.
Speculating about why she earned the adjective, Rosie says to daughter, Vivienne Rose: "Because I'm loud," and "some people don't like me...Barbra Streisand likes me, right. – The other Barbara – Walters? I think she loves me, but she won't say that, because I hurt her feelings."
Besides O'Donnell and Hilton, Parade also named (in descending order) Ann Coulter, Heather Mills and Perez Hilton the Top 5 most annoying.

seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
