The people have spoken. Parade.com recently polled 1000 Americans about their opinions on entertainment, movies and television for their Annual Year-End Pop Culture Poll, and respondents want some new faces in the New Year preferably less of Sarah Palin, Snooki and Miley Cyrus and hope for true love for sweetheart Sandra Bullock and Jennifer Aniston. Americans also stated that although Lindsay Lohan and Charlie Sheen seem like they are now on the straight and narrow they are still least likely to behave in the New Year. (Pictured here is Miley from an older cover story of Parade Magazine.)
Here are some other highlights:
The redux of Hawaii Five-0 has been taking television by storm and next up, America would love to see remakes of M*A*S*H (32%), along with Happy Days (19%), Three’s Company (16%) and the Six Million Dollar Man (14%).
With all the Royal Wedding mania, turns out that many respondents (39%) say they are “indifferent” about the pending nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton. Twenty percent of respondents “couldn’t care less” and 32% say they are “mildly excited” about it.
And speaking of wedding bells, respondents would be most excited for the engagement announcement of A-listers Taylor Swift and Jake Gyllenhaal (36%), Twilighters Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (29%) and Reese Witherspoon and agent beau Jim Toth (23%).
He may have won a Superbowl ring, but Brett Favre also wins the competition for the celeb most in need of texting etiquette (40%), followed by other alleged naughty texters, Tiger Woods (23%), Tony Parker (20%) and Ashton Kutcher (17%).
2011 has a roster of some great upcoming flicks, but the one respondents are most looking forward to seeing is “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2” (21%), followed by “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides” (20%), “The Hangover 2” (18%) and “The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn” (15%).
Out of all the celebrities doing really great things, there were a few fresh faces that stood out in 2010. America thinks Emma Stone (44%) and Willow Smith (42%) will really be moving mountains in 2011.
