At present (May 2011) no asteroids are predicted to hit the Earth, at least not in the next hundred years, and possibly not even then.
------------------ Past possible encounters -------------------------
2002 NT7 [See related link]
A preliminary orbit suggests that 2002 NT7 is on an impact course with Earth and could strike the planet on 1 February, 2019 - although the uncertainties are large.
Astronomers have given the object a rating on the so called Palermo technical scale of threat of 0.06, making NT7 the first object to be given a positive value.
From its brightness, astronomers estimate it is about two kilometres wide, large enough to cause continent wide devastation on Earth.
This has now been downgraded and was removed from the list of potential objects.
99942 Apophis [See related link]
This was a likely candidate, and scored the highest ever on the Torino scale.
It has now been "downsized"
Currently there are no asteroids expected to hit Earth in the next 100 years.
The theory of an asteroid named Orpheus will hit Earth and destroy civilization in the future years. The asteroid is predicted to hit Mexico. Don't be afraid because it may or may not happen :)

U.S. astronomers said the giant asteroid could hit the earth in 2014.
Yes. An asteroid probably hit Siberia, in Russia, in June 1908.
Probably not. I haven't seen any news about an asteroid about to strike Earth.
Thousands of asteroids are being observed; some may come quite close to Earth within the next few hundred years. Right now, no specific date is known, for a specific asteroid to hit Earth.Thousands of asteroids are being observed; some may come quite close to Earth within the next few hundred years.
