Tim Tebow leads poll about potential neighbors

MTV

Would you want these as your neighbors? No, you wouldn't.

However they feel about his quarterbacking skills and eponymous post-touchdown crouch, many Americans think the Denver Broncos' Tim Tebow would make a pretty good neighbor. According to a new survey conducted by real estate site Zillow.com in which people were asked which celebrity they would most like as a neighbor, Tebow scored big.?

Chosen as the celebrity they'd like to live next to by 11 percent of respondents in the fifth annual Zillow Celebrity Neighbor Survey, Tebow beat out former "friend" Jennifer Aniston and her current beau Justin Theroux as well as celeb couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ? although it's unclear whether respondents fear paparazzi or just all those kids trampling their daffodils.

When it comes to the worst neighbors ever, let's just say it's a situation. Or, rather, the Situation ? and Snooki and the rest of the boozed-up, bronzed brawlers that make up the cast of MTV's Jersey Shore. This rowdy crew was voted "worst celebrity neighbors" for the second year in a row, and it seems their on-screen antics aren't making them more popular. Last year, 26 percent of respondents gave the Shore cast a thumbs-down; this year, it's crept up to 28 percent. They even beat out notorious loose cannons Charlie Sheen (21 percent) and Lindsay Lohan (14 percent).

Behind Tebow, the Jolie-Pitts and Aniston and Theroux, people say they would most like Jennifer Lopez as a neighbor, followed by Beyonc? and Jay-Z. Newly single Kim Kardashian was a polarizing figure, appearing on both the best and worst sides of Zillow's celebrity-neighbor list.

Maybe the biggest surprise of all is how many Americans don't want to live next to any celebrity. With the exception of Tim Tebow, none of the celebrities were chosen as desirable neighbors by more than 10 percent of respondents. And this year, 42 percent of people say they'd prefer regular folks rather than red carpet regulars over the fence, up from 27 percent last year. Many of us, it seems, would prefer a friendly wave to either fist-pumping or Tebowing.?
