Casey Anthony, Octomom, Spencer Pratt Top 'Most Hated' List

Casey Anthony, Octomom, Spencer Pratt Top 'Most Hated' List

Surprise, surprise! Twenty-five-year-old Casey Anthony, who was recently found not guilty of the murder of her 2-year-old daughter Caylee, has beat out 6,000 other celebrities to be named "The Most Hated Person in America" by a recent poll.

According to E-Poll Market Research, who publised the survey results on Wednesday, Anthony even beat the reviled O.J. Simpson, whose acquittal of the murder of his wife in 1995 was often referenced in the wake of the surprising Anthony verdict. But don't feel too bad for O.J. (or, perhaps, do feel bad or him?); Simpson came in fourth on the list.

Despite a recent campaign to change his image, former Hills star Spencer Pratt snagged the No. 2 spot on the list of America's most reviled. Though Pratt's current situation -- he's now broke and living with his wife Heidi Montag at his parents' beach house -- should have made him a sympathetic figure, voters were apparently unmoved by his plight.

In third place is Nadya Suleman, otherwise known as "Octomom." Her prodigious and costly IVF treatments, which resulted in octuplets (her brood of kids is currently at 14 total), has engendered harsh criticism and attention.

Former Jon & Kate Plus 8 star Jon Gosselin came in fifth place, followed by Bristol Palin's ex-fiancé Levi Johnston. "Hollywood Madame" Heidi Fleiss, Paris Hilton, and Howard Stern also cracked the top 10.

Fifty-seven percent of poll respondents rated Anthony as "creepy" and 60 percent of respondents categorized her as "cold," giving her a clear lead over Simpson. Of the 1,100 Americans polled, a sweeping 94 percent put Anthony in the "total dislike" category. Ouch.

Guillermo Del Toro: 'Pacific Rim' Not An 'Invasion Movie,' 'Mountains Of Madness' Will Get Made

by Kevin Sullivan We thought we had maxed out on geeky excitement over "Pacific Rim," a movie best summarized as ?Guillermo del Toro directs giant robots fighting monsters,? but the "Hellboy" director amped it up again with talk of "top-notch monsters" in his latest sit-down with MTV News. When del Toro first saw the original two-page pitch [...]

On Thursday (January 7), the U.K.'s Royal Mail unveiled a series of 10 new stamps, honoring the most iconic album covers of the past 40 years.

The albums featured in the new series are the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed, Led Zeppelin's IV, David Bowie's The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars, Mike Oldfield's Tubular Bells, The Clash's London Calling, New Order's Power, Corruption and Lies, Primal Scream's Screamadelica, Pink Floyd's The Division Bell, Blur's Parklife and — the most recent album on to make the cut — Coldplay's A Rush of Blood to the Head.

Meant to honor "the most potent graphic images of modern times, many of which have provided a visual soundtrack to people's lives," the series is the end result of a lengthy research process by the Royal Mail, who looked through thousands of album covers by British artists before deciding on the final list. And, during a Wednesday night BBC Radio broadcast, it was revealed that the queen herself actually approved each design.

Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page — who helped design the cover for IV — was on hand to celebrate the release of the stamps and recalled the mysterious nature of the album's iconic imagery.

"Almost 40 years after the album came out, nobody knows the old man who featured on the cover, nor the artist who painted him," he said. "That sort of sums up what we wanted to achieve with the album cover, which has remained both anonymous and enigmatic at the same time."

Of course, any great honor is befitting of an equally great contest, so, on the same day the stamps were made available to the general public, Coldplay decided to give one of their Rush of Blood stamps away. In a message on their official site, the band held a contest to send one lucky fan "a letter using a Coldplay stamp, postmarked with today's issue date."

"We visited our local post office earlier today and bought some of the Coldplay stamps," the message read. "Very nice they are too."

Over the weekend, fans got one tweet closer to the release of Lady Gaga's video for "You And I" when she released the gender-bending artwork for her latest Born This Way single.

"You will never find what you are looking for in love, if you don't love yourself," she wrote of the song's and images' message. "#You&ISingleCover." The photos are of Gaga as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone. One shot features her/him wearing a blazer and white T-shirt, head down, smoking a cigarette. The other image is of Jo in silhouette puffing out a cloud of smoke.

This is not the first time fans have had the pleasure of meeting Jo. Gaga did an entire photo spread and interview as the fictional Italian car mechanic for Vogue Hommes Japan. In the issue, Calderone revealed some details about his relationship with the singer. "I met her at a shoot Nick Knight was doing," he said. "She's f---in' beautiful, and funny, and interesting. I was a little nervous for Nick to start shooting. She said, 'Don't be baby, you were born this way.' I took her out after. The rest is private."

Gaga promised last week that she would drop the video when she reached her one-thousandth tweet. Gaga previously teased that the video would include another one of her alter egos, that of her mermaid incarnation, Yuyi.

Gaga shot the video in Nebraska last month and explained that it is about taking a journey to win back the one you love. "And the [video is about the] idea that when you're away from someone you love, it's torture," she said. "I knew I wanted the video to be about me sprinting back and walking hundreds of thousands of miles to get him back."
