Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin is the celebrity the largest percentage of respondents to a poll said they would like to have as a neighbor.
The December survey of more than 2,000 U.S. adults was conducted by Harris Interactive (NASDAQ:HPOL) and commissioned by the real estate Web site Zillow.com.
Fourteen percent of respondents said they would like to live next door to the former U.S. vice presidential candidate. Following close behind, 13 percent said their dream neighbor is talk-show host Oprah Winfrey. Olympic gold medal-winning swimmer Michael Phelps, movie star couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and sit-com star and scribe Tina Fey rounded out the top five roster of desirable neighbors.
Nineteen percent of respondents said they think pop star Britney Spears would make the worst celebrity neighbor. This is the second year in a row she has earned this dubious distinction, Zillow.com noted.
Controversial comedian Rosie O'Donnell garnered 18 percent of the vote, snagging the No. 2 spot on the "worst neighbor" list. Rounding out the top five on that roster are the 2008 presidential campaign's "Joe the Plumber," actress Lindsay Lohan and football player Adam "Pacman" Jones.
I certainly agree that she is desirable.
Put the binoculars down, and step away from the window. ;-)
Darn it!
Busted again!
That wasn’t binoculars, it was a telescope!
And Rosie almost beat out Britney for the worst neighbor, 19% to 18%...
Neighbor, my foot - try ROOMMATE! (if she were still Sarah Heath)
And I disagree with Joe the Plumber as top 5 worst...would love to have him as a neighbor.
Can’t believe so many people picked Spears as the least desirable neighbor. It seems she would provide great entertainment. I guess it depends on if you have kids that you don’t want exposed to trash.
In BOTH categories!
In a poll taken by CBS on Inside Edition, I believe, during the campaign, 85% thought Palin was being mistreated by the media. Maybe people are paying some attention despite the media assassination job on her.
I don’t know. The Palins would be a blast to have around for the occasional BBQ but with all those kids and snowmobiles and the airplane they might otherwise be a little noisy.
I’d love to have her as a neighbor. I’d even buy her ammunition to wipe out the damn rabbits which infest our neighborhood.
It also reveals that the RINO McCain Republicans squandered the opportunity of a lifetime, and why the MSM and socialist Rats hate and continue to try to destroy her unceasingly.
Palin does seem the type that would bring over cookies at Christmas and pick up your mail while on vacation.
This is going to drive PDS sufferers bonkers. LOL!

Great choice, Sarah. She would be interesting to talk to and to watch.
Oprah would just flap her mouth about being overweight, bragging about losing weight, or arguing with her boyfriends.
Phelps? Pitt? Jolie, maybe.
Joe the Plumber a BAD neighbor? Whoa! Most of my good neighbors now are already Joe.
Lindsay would just scream a bit each time they carted her off to rehab. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be around much. She’s just one big freckle anyway.
I would LOVE to have Sarah as a neighbor, she is just so awesome. We could play basketball together, I bet she would whip my butt but I would try my hardest to win. Why would Joe the Plumber be a bad neighbor, I wouldn’t mind living next to him either. The Palins and Joe are two hard working families who care about God and country, that’s my kinda neighbor and again Oprah loses again to Sarah, anyone hear that sound, its Oprah eating 10 Subway Sandwiches in response to Sarah kicking her butt again
