OK's List of Most Influential Celebrities

July 4th 2007 01:56
OK Magazine will, this Friday, release it's list of the 19 Most Influential Celebrities. The list is divided into 6 categories: Beauty Queens, Entertainers, Newsmakers, Survivors, Body Shapers, Style Makers.

Now, it's OK Magazine, so it's not like they thought deeply about the list. But even taking that into account..........the list sucks. Here's the ones that they have released.

Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes
Would the most influential beauty queen have a husband who has to stnad on a platform to appear taller than his wife?























Beauty Queens
-Katie Holmes - Seriously?? She married a short mental case. That's it.
-Jennifer Lopez - Who looks to J-Lo for anything anymore?
-Beyonce Knowles - okay, I'll give them Beyonce

Style Makers
-Sarah Jessica Park - yeah, maybe when Sex in the City was still running!
-Justin Timberlake - what??????????
-Kate Moss - so having a crackhead loser boyfriend is stylish now???

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie
Brad and Ange


Newsmakers
-Rosie O'Donnell - okay so she had a fight with Donald Trump on tv. Does that really make
her an influential newsmaker????

-Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie - apparently they're a single entity these days. Is that what makes
them newsworthy?

-TR Knight - Let me get this right. A co-worker calls you a 'faggot', so you admit you're gay
and this makes you a newsmaker? Riiiiiggggghhhhttttttt.





Entertainers - the people who decide what we watch and who we listen to
-Simon Cowell - okay, so we're only going to listen to American Idols now??? God help us.
-Carrie Underwood - really, a country & western singer who won American Idol decides what we listen to? I did not know that.
-Heidi Klum - Huh???? So we're all watching Project Runway I guess. Oh yeah, and those Victoria Secret shows where she'd lose all her baby weight in 3 days and parade around in a bikini. Ground breaking stuff

Tyra Banks in a swimsuit
So it's not the most flattering pic of her

Body Shapers
-Tyra Banks - okay, so she got called fat and appeared on her show in a swimsuit (after
losing the weight that had caused her to be called fat in the first place).
A former model appearing in public in a swimsuit. Damn, that's so brave.

Survivors
-Dannielynn Hope Smith - Forgive me, but Dannielynn is 10 mths old. I think you have to make
it past your first birthday before you can be called a survivor (even
allowing for the fact that Anna Nicole was her mother).

C'mon OK, you're not even trying. Here's some people off the top of my head who definitely should have been included:

Beauty Queens
-Drew Barrymore - she's the new face of Covergirl, a producer and actress. And surely she's a better choice than Katie Holmes??
-Eva Mendes - if you want a less caucasian example of beauty, you can't go past Eva. Vava voom.

Style Queens
-Dita Von Teese - old world 40's glamour at it's best

Entertainers
-Steven Hirsch - the man responsible for distributing the Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian sex tapes. See, now that's deciding what we'll be watching!
-Steven Spielber - surely Spielberg is more influential than Simon Cowell
-Jay Z - I think he might have more of an influence on what we hear than Carrie Underwood.

Newsmakers
-Paris Hilton - any other celeb in the news as much as she is? I don't think so

Body Shapers
-Nicole Richie - A barely living example of what you DON'T want to be
-Scarlet Johannsson - I don't like her, but she bought boobs and hips back
-Kirsty Alley - hey, she's 55 and went on tv in a bikini. Now that actually is brave.

Survivors
-Paris Hilton - she survived 23 days in prison. She did it way tougher than Nelson Mandela. Those Sth African jails are a walk in park.

Those are just a few people that should have been on the list off the top of my head (I know I've missed way more).

If you want to read a GREAT list of influential people, take a look at the Time Alternate List of 100 Most Important People. If like me, you find Time's list of important people a bit dull, you'll LOVE this list. Hilarious!!!!!!

It has gems such as:

4. Heather Mills, dancer
The panel just loves Dancing With the Stars. And they're impressed that "her leg doesn't just fly off." As you'll see throughout, the panel has only a vague understanding of medicine.

AND

25. Osama Bin Laden, head of Al Qeda
The panel pointed out that he's likely to outlast Bush as head of an organization.


47. Borat, made-up character
The panel is not at all sick of Borat.

Way better list than OK's lame list!!!! Read it. You won't be sorry!

BOOOOOO...Katie Holmes and Jennifer Lopez??? I'm surprised they didn't put Posh up there. And Sarah Jessica Parker? What did they do, pour through pics and articles from five years ago??

Lara - I know. Most of these people are completely irrelevant!!!

Aimzter - I agree. Katie Holmes?? And Jennifer Lopez. Hello she hasn't done a movie or had a decent selling song in years. How can she be influential???

And as for Sarah Jessica Parker....I think they must have gotten confused and thought it was 2002....cos she hasn't been relevant since Sex and the City finished.
