FAT bastard, described as “wine for the anti-snob” by Time and Newsweek, so dislikes the snooty shenanigans of self-importance in the world of wine (and elsewhere!) and 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.

Among some of this years most obnoxious poseurs who made the cut:

• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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. 

Visit the site to see who made the list last year – and yes – there are some repeat offenders!  This year’s full list should be available on the website soon.
