One-quarter chose Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, 7 percent chose Ellen DeGeneres and Portia de Rossi, 6 percent chose Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and 3 percent chose Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes。

　　Driving slowly in the fast lane was the behavior 33 percent said they find most annoying, followed by cell phone conversations in restaurants and spitting in public。

　　Google and Yahoo were cited as the organizations people worry most about having their personal information. While 33 percent listed the online sites, 14 percent said they were more concerned about the US government having information and 13 percent cited banks and credit agencies. But another 33 percent said they "don't worry much about" who has their personal information。
