House introduces bipartisan bill on AI in banking and housing
The bill would require a report on how these industries use AI to valuate homes and underwrite loans
Read more...PARADE and Yahoo's entertainment website omg! revealed today the results of its latest "most annoying celebrities" poll. Kim Kardashian takes in first place. Runner-ups to this dubious honor are Charlie Sheen and Snooki.
Kardashian secured first place with 29% but was closely followed by Sheen "winning" second place.
PARADE magazine told me that over 60,000 Americans were polled, starting in August through September 2011. "It wasn't a scientific poll," a spokeperson from Parade Magazine told me, and neither age group or percentage of female to male ratio were available.
The poll was conducted online through invitations on the PARADE and omg! websites.
Respondents were asked to select the most annoying celebs among a pre-determined and supplied list of celebrities.
The percentage of most annoying resuts are as follow:
1. | Kim Kardashian | 29% | ||||
2. | Charlie Sheen | 27% | ||||
3. | Snooki | 21% | ||||
4. | Lindsay Lohan | 16% | ||||
5. | Donald Trump | 5% | ||||
6. | Brad Womack | 1% |
Kim Kardashian's new claim to fame does not seem to affect her popularity.
And her rank on Twitter continutes to grow. In the last five minutes, I have seen her twitter followers grow from 9,941,678 to 9,943,185 followers. That's an increase of over 2,000 followers in five minutes!
Other polls included "The Royal Sister's Suitor," a poll to find the celebrity match for Kate Middleton's sister Pippa, in which Ryan Reynolds was crowned by the American people as Prince Charming with 22% of the vote. Jake Gyllenhaal and Leonardo DiCaprio tied with 18%. All worthy suitors, in my opinion.
Respondents were also asked to rank the craziest baby names of the year. The winner: a tie...because they're twins--Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon's twins, Moroccan and Monroe.
In "Most Likely to Succeed From Harry Potter," Emma Watson took the lead with 79% of the vote.
