SOME NEW TURKEYS FOR ANNUAL TACKY TASTE AWARDS.

Byline: Marilyn Beck & Stacy Jenel Smith

Happy Thanksgiving to you all! And our thanks to the hundreds and hundreds of readers of this column and Eonline, and viewers of ``The Gossip Show,'' who submitted votes for our annual Tacky Taste Awards celebrity turkey roast. And here is the spicy mixed-up menu of winners, selected by you.

Dishonorable mention

Jerry Seinfeld, for ``picking up a bride of three weeks in a fitness center. Shows no character or class,'' as Susan from New York put it, referring to the comic's romance - now engagement - to Jessica Sklar. Minnesota governor Jesse Ventura, who was voted in for, among many other things, making disparaging remarks about his constituents' religious beliefs in Playboy. Karen A. of Chapel Hill, N.C., was among those who voted for Charlton Heston, ``for his insensitive support of the NRA after the Columbine shootings.''

For his interrogation of Pete Rose, sportscaster Jim Gray was deemed ``a snake, a rat, a weasel'' by James and Teresa of Santa Ana. Then there were those who, like Brooke from Auburn, Ind., gave this column ``two thumbs down for encouraging people to bash others.'' Well . . . it's food for thought, anyway. And with a last-minute flurry of votes, Jaid Barrymore landed on the list, thanks to her plans to auction off childhood belongings of her daughter, Drew Barrymore.

And now, the list

10. Gwyneth Paltrow. Voters, surprisingly, dissed the beguiling actress for everything from her Oscar speech to her ``extreme over-exposure'' (Julia S., Timmins, Ontario, Canada). Readers such as Heather of Columbus, Ga., were put off by ``her horrible `Saturday Night Live' joke on Minnie Driver.''

9. Li'l Kim. For ``wearing that pastie over her otherwise bare breast at the MTV awards,'' as Internet voter Jeremy B. summed it up.

8. Monica Lewinsky. For ``acting like a celebrity at Hollywood premieres when all she did was the president'' - Megan of Fords, N.J. ``Does that thing of Monica selling pocketbooks over the Internet sound oh-so-tacky? It should!'' - Lyn H., Nashville, Tenn.

7. Jerry Falwell. Frank J. of Youngstown, Ohio, found ``Jerry Falwell's outing of Tinky Winky super tacky! It's just a damn doll!'' Agreed many others, including So-Phillygirl of Los Angeles: ``Jerry looks like a jerk. . . . Who's next? Elmo and Big Bird?''

6. Dennis Rodman and Carmen Electra. ``Married . . . not married . . . married . . . fight . . . jail . . .'' - Terri, San Diego. ``Carmen, for not knowing when her 15 minutes of fame are up'' - Laurie G., Orlando, Fla.

5. Britney Spears. ``A 17-year-old, looking like a slut in Rolling Stone'' - D.S., Woodland Hills. ``Three words: Rolling Stone Spread'' - Jessica J., Calhoun, Ga. ``She'll be in Playboy, not Rolling Stone, in years to come.'' - Ginny, Pittsburgh.

4. Madonna. ``What's up with that phony English accent?'' - Mike D., Cleveland, Ohio, was one of many who asked. Sabrina F. of L.A. felt Madonna was deserving of raspberries for ``leaving Lourdes in that enormous limo. Her handlers can spin it all they want, but there was no child seat in that car.'' Susan of St. Petersberg, Fla., was among those unimpressed with Madonna's latest style: ``She looks like a witch with that jet black hair and those morbid outfits.'' And Rusty of Cheyenne, Wyo., asked, ``Is she trying to win a Morticia Addams look-alike contest?''

3. Pamela Anderson Lee and Tommy Lee. Richard M. of Redwood City, Calif., was among those who voted for the tattooed ones, noting ``this woman is so publicity-hungry, she makes Madonna look like Howard Hughes . . . and now, she wants to remarry felon/hubby Tommy in the nude? Ugh!'' ``Taking back her abusive husband was worse than tacky'' - G.G. from Brooklyn, N.Y. ``I hope they all get arrested.'' - Janice J., San Fernando.

2. Mariah Carey For ``wearing tasteless, tacky and too-tight clothes'' - Arminda K., New Orleans. ``Her `Heartbreaker' '' song and video were disgusting and very tacky'' - Damien J., Melbourne, Australia ``. . . nothing tackier than Mariah mud-wrestling herself in her latest sleazy video.'' - Jody V., via Internet. ``. . . Mariah, the epitome of tackiness . . . in panties on her new CD.'' - Kuntal N., New York. ``She looks like a stuffed sausage in everything she wears'' - Krista from Brooklyn, N.Y. ``Attention Mariah Carey - buy bigger clothes!'' - Julia from Fairfax, Va.

And the winner, by a landslide

1. Rosie O'Donnell. ``Rosie was the tackiest with her attack on her show against Tom Selleck, who was featured in an ad for the National Rifle Association.'' - Bertha H., St. Louis, Mo. ``It was mean-spirited to invite a guest on her show just to attack him. Mr. Selleck made her look like a fool - and I don't even like Tom Selleck!'' - MEKt from Belle Chasse, La. ``I vote for the hypocritical Rosie'' - Jay F., San Francisco. ``I was a huge fan of hers until she pulled that garbage on Tom Selleck.'' - Lolly F., Richfield Springs, N.C. ``Rosie needs to get off her high horse. . . . It's a talk/variety show, not a soapbox.'' - Michele J., Oxnard. ``In her early years, she was funny. Now, she just uses her TV show as an outlet for talking about herself and putting down those who do not share her point of view.'' - Christa from Florence, Ala.

We should note that Rosie had her defenders, too. There were a few stray votes for Selleck based on the same TV show. Which just goes to show, tackiness is a matter of taste.

Here's hoping all your holidays are tasty.
