The world’s most powerful celebrities are women
Forbes has published another one of its lists this time the world’s most powerful celebrities. Since it’s a celebrity list and is (as they say) “a measure of power based on money and fame,” I’m not surprised that women dominate the top of the list. Women are the ones that buy all the tabloids mags and it seems from my perusal of the magazine shelves, Angelina Jolie is on the cover of some magazine or magazines each week. She’s also figured out that she can be the biggest female movie star by making action type films because she is one of the only stars that appeals to both men and women onscreen and off. Oprah at number 2. No surprise. She rules the world. The surprise to me is Madonna at number 3. It’s an impressive surprise. Just goes to show her staying power. The new attempt at another adoption kept her in the tabloids too. Beyonce is a force to reckon with. Her music is great and her acting is great (I’ll give her a pass on Obsessed and hope she continues to act in films like Cadillac Records where she played Etta James.) While I have nothing against Jennifer Aniston I don’t get how and why people continue to be obsessed with her. Here are all the women on the list. 1 Angelina Jolie “The Celebrity 100, which includes film and television actors, models, chefs, athletes, authors and musicians, is a measure of entertainment-related earnings and media visibility (exposure in print, television, radio and online). The earnings estimates consist of pre-tax income between June 2008 and June 2009. Management, agent and attorney fees are not deducted. Earnings estimates, which include income from films, television shows, endorsements, books and other entertainment ventures, are calculated between June 2008 and June 2009.” The Celebrity 100 (Forbes)
