Oprah Still The Most Powerful Celebrity

June 12th 2008 02:35
Oprah Winfrey
She's gonna get a black man elected President of the US......that's a serious amount of power she holds!
Forbes have released their annual list of the 100 Most Powerful Celebrities. And once again, the list was topped by the woman Barrack Obama will be thanking for putting him in the White House soon......Oprah Winfrey.


The Top Ten includes:

1. Oprah Winfrey
2. Tiger Woods - really? I mean sure the dude's a good golfer but is he really powerful?
3. Angelina Jolie - well we all know she rules Brad!
4. Beyonce Knowles - I don't think so!!
5. David Beckham - oh please. You got the wrong "P" word. He's pretty, not powerful.
6. Johnny Depp
7. Jay-Z - now tell me why the man who is responsible for the current career success of both Beyonce and Rihanna is rated lower than Beyonce herself????
8. The Police - well, that reunion tour certainly made em' rich. Though surely the desire for power is beneath Sting.
9. J.K Rowling - well she single-handedly got kids (and adults) reading again. She also made $300M last year..........that's impressive!
10. Brad Pitt - yep, we knew it was Angelina that wore the pants in that relationship!

Other notable inclusions in the list were:

17. Jennifer Aniston - why??? Give me one good reason??? Cos I can't think of any.
21. Madonna - not bad for a popstar who is going on 50yrs of age. I bet it kills her that she's not in the Top 20 though.

28 Celine Dion - you know they only put her in there because she threatened to stay at the Forbes offices for a week singing that f**king song from Titanic at them if they didn't put her on the list.
31. Tom Cruise - once the most powerful man in Hollywood. Still the nuttiest.
50. Spice Girls - yep, reunion tours are good for getting people to remember you're still alive. They should be off the list completely next year as they fade back into the obscurity they deserve (no girls, I REALLY haven't forgiven you for cancelling your Australian shows on your World Tour US/UK Tour).
53. Bon Jovi - Oh, are they even making music anymore? Why not just put The Grateful Dead on the list too???
82. Judd Apatow - is it just me, or should the man responsible for The 40 Yr old Virgin, Knocked Up and Super Bad be rated lower than Bon Jovi in terms of power????
95. Gordon Ramsay - mmmmm......Gordon.....of course he thinks the Forbes list is a f**king load of f**king sh*t you stupid f**king morons!!! God I love Gordon.

Can you believe that Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Nicole Ritchie, Lindsay Lohan and Kim Kardashian didn't make the list? Weird. I was sure they'd score top ten positions!!

The Police.... I have seen them in concert. They weren't even powerful in concert... How did this happen? I agree with you regarding the order of this list.
