Poll: Reese Witherspoon Most-Liked Female Tabloid Target

Unlike other starlets, you don't love to hate Reese Witherspoon ... you actually like her, a survey shows.

Reese Witherspoon is the most-liked celebrity among 10 female stars who regularly found their way onto magazine covers and into gossip columns in 2007, according to a new poll, Reuters reported.

For its E-Score Celebrity survey, E-Poll Market Research asked more than 1,100 people ages 13 and older whom they found the most appealing, confident, glamorous, interesting and over-exposed, among other qualities.

Witherspoon, 30, who won an Oscar for playing country singer June Carter in "Walk the Line," topped the list with a personal appeal rating of 74 percent, followed by former "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston at 70 percent, Reuters said.

Angelina Jolie, who is now the partner of Aniston's ex-husband Brad Pitt, was the No. 3 most appealing celebrity at 53 percent.

Actress/singer Jennifer Lopez was behind her with a 52 percent rating, while Katie Holmes followed at 32 percent and behind her was former Spice Girl Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham in the No. 6 position with a rating of 28 percent.

The "Pop Tarts" of 2007 — Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears — rounded out the list with Hilton the least-liked.

She had a low 9 percent appeal rating, and was deemed to be the most over-exposed. Only one notch above Hilton was pop singer Spears with 11 percent likeability and a 68 percent over-exposed rating to Hilton's 75 percent, Reuters reported.
