Kim Kardashian voted most annoying celebJudging by how negatively people react to the name "Kim Kardashian" anywhere in a headline, let alone in a sentence, Parade magazine's 2011 Culture Poll results aren't that surprising. The recently wed Kardashian was pitted against "The Bachelor's" Brad Womack, Donald Trump, Lindsay Lohan, Snooki and Charlie Sheen for the title, but she landed in the top spot with 29 percent of the vote. Sheen, however, wasn't far behind, with 27 percent nominating him as the most annoying star. Sheen was followed by Snooki (with 21 percent), Lindsay Lohan (16 percent), Donald Trump (5 percent) and Brad Womack (1 percent). And perhaps Jennifer Lopez should've thought a little longer about returning to "American Idol" - 40 percent of those polled think J.Lo's the most replaceable judge. (They weren't particularly kind to Steven Tyler, either, who was right behind Lopez with 36 percent.)

With such a large number of routines and a faster pace, the dancers are being challenged more than ever before.

'L Word' actress: I wasn't making out on flightLeisha Hailey and her girlfriend Camila Grey would like to make one thing clear: They were not making out on the Southwest flight the pair say they were booted from. The couple released a statement through their band, Uh Huh Her, to clarify the incident, which happened on Monday. "In no way were our actions on Southwest Airlines excessive, inappropriate or vulgar," the statement said. "We want to make it clear we were not making out or creating any kind of spectacle of ourselves, it was one, modest kiss. We are responsible adult women who walk through the world with dignity." |
