FAT bastard, described as "wine for the anti-snob" by Newsweek, so dislikes the snooty shenanigans of self-importance in the world of wine -- and elsewhere -- again identifies the most offensively officious folks of the year. Now, the company reveals the second annual FAT bastard Most Pretentious Poll, a poll of 100 lifestyle editors from newspapers coast to coast.


Here are the most obnoxious poseurs for 2007:

#1. Donald Trump -- After the war of the Rosie, the Donald's new claim to fame is his elevation to first place in Fat Bastard's most pretentious poll. In fact, his pretensions seem to never end: he puts his name on everything from buildings and business suits to vodka and cologne.

#2. Paris Hilton: Can this woman get no respect? Falling from first on our poll, she can't seem to convince our respondents that she's now taken the high road in life. Perhaps in 2008, we'll see her spurn the spotlight in favor of some serious do-gooding.

#3. Bill O'Reilly: Another man who's moving up in the world of pretension is America's "most influential conservative," who last year sat in spot number four. As the Fox News Channel's resident bully, O'Reilly is known for his feisty attitude, extraordinarily slanted views and his ill-tempered tantrums whenever a liberal notion creeps into the conversation.

#4. Rosie O'Donnell: Virtually tied for third with Mr. Reilly, Rosie makes her debut on the most pretentious list this year. Equally vociferous about her liberal leanings, Rosie is another media miracle who never shrinks from expressing her opinions.

#5. Tom Cruise: About to become the subject of a tell-all book, the inimitable Mr. Cruise is another personality who's incredibly high -- on himself. He'll always be remembered for his couch-leaping craze, the value of his advice to new mothers and his ongoing crusade for Scientology.

#6. Hillary Clinton: When it comes to pretension, few women can top Hillary who is still convinced that people "in her position" should
never be questioned on pesky problems like the Whitewater scandal. How surprised the other Democratic presidential contenders must have been to discover they weren't allowed to discuss her stands on any of those annoying "issues" without becoming the targets of an aggressive Bill attack.

#7. Victoria Beckham: Her Spice Girls nickname wasn't "Posh" for nothing though her musical contributions seem to have made a bigger impression on Victoria herself than they ever did on the music industry. "Coronated" when she wed -- at least in her own mind -- she and her soccer sweetie sat on golden thrones as they surveyed the subjects at their nuptials.

#8. Tyra Banks: If considering yourself to be extraordinarily talented is a sure sign of being pretentious, claiming you are the next Oprah may reach a new high. Though she's no journalist, the Victoria Secret's supermodel thinks she has all the answers.

#9. Kanye West -- Kanye's sense of his own importance is most obvious during music award season. In fact, he's sure he deserves them all. If he's passed over, watch out, as this rapper will surely launch into a rant.

#10. Britney Spears -- Last place on the poll is reserved for a true loser in 2007: she shed her husband, lost her kids and if her performance at the MTV VMA's is any indication, she may be in danger of losing her career, as well. Perhaps it's her hubris in thinking she can continue on the course of her seemingly irresponsible life and still claim she's a good mom that earned her a place on the Fat Bastard Most Pretentious Poll.
