Watch out, Oprah! This year Angelina has the power.

Angelina Jolie nabbed the No. 1 spot on Forbes' 2009 Celebrity 100 list, the magazine announced Wednesday, topping Winfrey who slipped to No. 2 after two consecutive years at the top. According to the magazine, wealth is only one factor in determining the most powerful celebrity, and Jolie's $27 million in earnings last year combined with her fame determined her ranking. (Interestingly, Winfrey grossed $275 million in 2008.)

Rounding out the top 5 positions in Forbes' rankings: Madonna, whose Hard Candy tour and $110 million income landed her the No. 3 slot; Beyoncé is No. 4; and Tiger Woods fell to No. 5 on the list, down from No. 2 last year.

The most powerful celebrity in the world?

Can anyone think of two or three words she’s ever strung together that meant anything?

A total media fabrication.

although she does gets 4 1/2 stars for hotness... ;o)

As a fellow Stockholm Syndrome sufferer, I for one love Hollyweird's perpetual shoving of a shiv in the back of Conservatives, and ask you to join me in a fervent wish to roll out the red carpet to those who are trying their best to dumb down the Freep, and this Nation.

It's for the children! ™
