Angelina Jolie Named Most Powerful Celebrity

Move over Oprah, Angelina Jolie is taking over as the world's most powerful celebrity. Forbes Magazine recently published its 100 most powerful celebrities list ranking Angelina Jolie as number one. Oprah had held the number one spot for the past two years. The list is made up of celebrities from TV, film, music, fashion, food and sports all ranked in order based on earnings and media exposure. Even though Oprah earned $275 million and Angelina earned just $27 million last year, Angelina beat Oprah due to her continuous appearances in magazines, TV, radio, newspaper and websites.

Oprah was knocked to number two, but the top five included big names such as Madonna, Beyonce and Tiger Woods. Obama also made the list at number 49, making him the first sitting head of state to make the list. Some newcomers to this years list were Taylor Swift, Toby Keith, and Alec Baldwin.
