Commenting on Kim's place at the top of the list, Parade.com said: "Everywhere you look, there seems to be a Kardashian. Famous for being famous, Kim, in particular, has been inescapable, with her recent wedding and honeymoon reported just about everywhere. Perhaps all that exposure is why she earned the title of Most Annoying Celebrity in our poll, with 29 per cent of the vote."

Elsewhere in the survey, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith beat off competition to be voted Coolest Couple, topping the list by just one per cent more than Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck.

Royal newlyweds Prince William and Duchess Catherine came third, with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt, Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z and Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem rounding off the top six.
