Whatever you think of the list, the fact that 3 out the top 5 (and 4 out of the 10) are African-American shows that we've come a long, long way.
anyone who thinks Angelina Jolie has more power than Oprah, isn't living on Earth.
She sure has TABLOID power. Keeps getting knocked up!of all Pitt's "squeezes" I like Gwynneth the best!
good point jill
The list is a joke.
THIS IS WRONG... I DONT THINK THIS IS RIGHT!! ADOPTING KIDS FROM 3RD WORLD COUNTRIES DOESNT HELP THE WORLD!!
Wow, that's a lot of power...Girl power that is!
annual Celebrity 100 list, a ranking of the world's famous people measured by income and media visibility is the issue here i dont think its about the look or adopting kidz!its how people appreciate the person!!
Why is Obama on this list. I though he was our president, NOT a celebrity.
