I don’t discredit Jolie’s beauty or humanitarian efforts. But the woman is a bad/mediocre actress. Her movies are all rough sex scenes. She doesn’t have a lot of range (I’ve seen Gia and Girl, Interrupted) and is just terribly overrated as an actress. This list is stupid. As long as Jessica Simpson beats out ALAN GREENSPAN, I pretend i’m not American.
———————————————–
I UNDERSTAND THAT YOU ARE SO JEALOUS OF AJ, OF WHAT HER LIFE RIGHT NOW IS AND OF WHAT SHE HAS ACHIEVED AT SUCH A VERY YOUNG AGE. IF AJ IS A MEDIOCRE ACTRESS AS YOU CLAIM HER TO BE THEN WHY DID SHE RECIEVE NUMEROUS AWARDS? MIND TELLING US YOUR CRITERIA FOR CHOOSING A GREAT ACTRESS?
OF COURSE, AJ HAD SAID THAT SHE WAS ALWAYS NERVOUS WHEN IT COMES TO ACTING THAT’S NOT HER FORTE BUT SHE’S ALWAYS WONDERFUL WHEN SHE DOES. IT IS BECAUSE THERE IS AN INNATE TALENT, SHE IS CLEARLY BORN WITH IT WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT. IF YOU ARE NOT CONVINCED THAT AJ CAN ACT, DON’T THEN. NOBODY IS FORCING YOU. BEFORE YOU GO CRITICIZE SOMEBODY MAKE SURE YOU ARE CLEAR WHY CERTAIN THINGS ARE THAT WAY OR THIS WAY.
CAN’T STAND A BAD GIRL WHO DOES GOOD THINGS NOW? TSK, TSK, TSK, I PITY YOU
Go A-Rod at 29 and Jeter at 50
Yankees!
Oh yeah, and Prince??hello?
And bill gates?Still a billionaire…
This list is sooo not true!
I mean, don’t tell me jessica simpson is richer than Kate Moss!
Sorry but this list couldn’t be more wrong than it already is!!Pffff….

angelina is up there only because of one reason, and everyone knows this including AJ, the manstealer. BRAD PITT Admit it. LMFAO!
——————————————
COME ON, AREN’T YOU TIRED OF CRITICIZING AJ? NOBODY CAN FORCE BP TO DO THINGS HE DOESN’T LIKE. YOU ARE A VERY JEALOUS PERSON.WELL, IT IS UNDERSTANDABLE REALLY, YOU IDOLIZE THE WHINY, MAN LOOKING JENNIFER ANISTON! YOU TWO ARE CUT FROM THE SAME CLOTH.
Where is Ben affleck???
a-rod should not have made the list higher than Derek. Jeter’s a God in NYC and a-rod’s probably the most hated athlete in NYC.
MICHAEL SCHUMACHER :D :D :D
Why is Aniston on the list, eg, and LEO is not??
That woman has been JOBLESS for at least 3 years! That must be for her constant tabloid presence, the ONLY thing the diabolical couple of “Maniston” and her PR-guy do - FABRICATE CHEAP STORIES and THEN DENY THEM!!!!!
No one can deny that.
That is SAD.
test
This list is bull! I guess you can buy you way on a list if Jessica Simpshit is on it. She made his list a big joke.
Just remember that BRAND-gelina got bad PR buzz almost as often as good. The NE counts, too when the Q is measure for the number of inches of copy. LOL
Remmember “brad ain’t the dad” and “nanny spills all about angelina beating brad”?
Just sayin…
Hayden Panettiere and Emma Watson? WTF. These ******* suck.
Some of you are clueless. Many on there do more than one thing that they are known for. Jay Z for example has as many as eight companies all doing wee and he is still considered the top Rapper these day. Rap influences middle america more & more than rock.
There are many, like athletes, who have very lucrative endorsment deals not know to the public.
Oprah is no surprise but I don’t think her audience is only soccer moms. she’s not a soccer mom type. Martha stewart is. Don’t dismiss the large numbers of African American women who have not stopped watching oprah from day one. Jay Z is on his way to becoming anothr Oprah who in turn is behind Sheila Johnson, the first African American woman billionaire. She was the co -creator of BET Network
Power isnot only dicted by money. Power is dictated by influence in the world or your industry.

************************************
Just saying that anyone who belives clownish headlines like you posted from the NE is an idiot. The smart people know about the tabloids and their agendas. There was no bad PR for Brad or Angelina last year. They did not do anything wrong to anyone. They were just living their lives, doing films, and making money.
where are the olsen???????
Holy Cow! Vince Vaughn more powerful than Will Smith.
… can’t believe it.
hahaha Dr Phil is higher than Maniston
Brad is on the roll!
Thank you, Angie! The man is finally ALIVE!
#61
Oh, bloody sh*t!
I can’t believe you STILL believe the tabloids!
The TABLOIDS HAVE BEEN P-R-O-V-E-N to L-I-E
OVER and OVER and OVER (and OVER) again.
I am sorry if I offended you, but I feel sadness for you, and if there is anyone else who STILL give their hard-earned money to be
fed with G-A-R-B-A-G-E.
It is NOT healthy for YOU nor for your pocket.
The tabloids lie.
I thought everyone knew it by now.
For your sanity, boycott them.
Good Grief!!!!!!!!!!! Jessica Simpson? There are very few people that are as idiot as she is….That makes want to kill myself and stop living in this celebrity obsessed America..
Wake up people
About the list:
Kids, this is not a Maxim hot list or a popular-with-the-fans list. This is cold, hard math, baby.
This is money. This is business. It isn’t about look or talent. It’s about who signed what deals and can control projects, collect royalties, demand points on a contract - etc. This is the BUSINESS. It’s Forbes, not Variety.
In terms of business, the people listed are either ultra hot now (but could fade in a year or two) or consistently hot and and solidifying their power (Brad Pitt, anyone?).
They are winners. And in a capitalist society, that means they make, and they generate money. HUGE money.
Jessical Simpson, whether you can stand it or not, has made a **** ton of money and has lucrative deals that will keep making money for a long time. It has nothing to do with whether or not you can stand her or she has a talent you admire. She makes bank.
Cold. Hard. Math. Do it.
where is mariah she should be included for sure
yes guys, this is all about money!!!!!not talent, beauty or other things!
i hate tom cruise but i understand why he is the second!
i just can’t believe how can Vince Vaugh be in that position…but ok.
how can Jolie be so rich, if she gives a lot of money to poor children??????
