Thanks to the release of several blockbuster movies and an endless sea of media buzz, Angelina Jolie has dethroned Oprah Winfrey to top this year's Celebrity 100 list, Forbes' annual ranking of the world's ultra famous.
The Celebrity 100 is a measure of power based on money and fame. Earnings estimates, which include income from films, television shows, endorsements, books and other entertainment ventures, are calculated between June 2008 and June 2009. Figures were rounded off where appropriate. Sources include Billboard, Pollstar, Adams Media Research, Nielsen SoundScan, Nielsen BookScan, Nielsen Media Research and SNL Kagan. Fame is calculated using Web hits on Google Blog Search, TV/radio mentions on LexisNexis, overall press mentions on Factiva and the number of times a celebrity's image appeared on the cover of 25 consumer magazines.

I don't know, I feel Oprah ... (Below threshold)1. Posted by Chrystal K. | June 4, 2009 6:51 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
I don't know, I feel Oprah has one up on Angelina, only because she has her own show that comes on every weekday. If she recommends something, everyone will try.

I can't help but notice that number two makes the most money in this bunch. In my opinion, that also makes her the number two that clogs the toilet. I know, my bad...:D
