Posted: Mon., Jan. 6, 2003, 7:00pm PT Variety.com Stewart atop annoying list Cyberbiz Brief By DAVID BLOOM It' s not quite the same as a rotten " Q" rating, but Web site AmIAnnoying.com said Martha Stewart topped voting by 1.4 million visitors this past year for most annoying person. On the opposite end of the spectrum, topping the Least Annoying list, was teen actress Mischa Barton (" All My Children," " The Sixth Sense" ). The annoying top 25 included a number of other talkshow hosts or regulars, including Ainsley Harriott, John Edward (" Crossing Over" ), Sal the Stockbroker (" the Howard Stern Show" ), Laura Schlessinger, Britain' s Chris Evans and Christopher Lowell. The Am I Annoying Web site itself clocked in at No. 15, just ahead of WWII Japanese dictator Hideki Tojo but behind medieval seer Nostradamus. Behind Barton on the Least List were several other actresses, including Holly Marie Combs, Mary-Louise Parker, Amber Benson, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Natalie Portman, Diane Lane and Donna Mills. And, in an upbeat coda to an otherwise rocky year of unfortunate media omnipresence, Winona Ryder clocked in as the 20th least annoying person of the year. © 2002 Reed Business Information © 2002 Variety, Inc.
