Angelina Jolie. Winfrey, who topped the list last year, was dethroned and moved to the No. 2 spot on the annual Forbes list, which came out yesterday. "Though viewership for the self-made billionaire's flagship chat fest, The Oprah Winfrey Show, continues to erode, her earning power remains resilient," the list said. The Celebrity 100 list ranks the rich and famous based on media exposure and earnings over the past year.

According to the new book, the Alaska governor learned that she was on the vice-presidential shortlist at a February 2008 governors’ meeting in Washington — six months earlier than recounted in a statement released in August by the McCain campaign.

That's the stunning assertion of Sandra Westfall, the "People" magazine writer who authored the article [excerpt here] containing the friend's crticism.

But there's no sign Michelle Obama [file photo] was anything but serious when she said something similar in a current People magazine interview, h/t Michelle Malkin, claiming she could be "very competent" on policy putting in only a 70% effort. Throw in a couple more statements from Mrs. Obama in the interview attesting to her own intellect, and a picture emerges of a woman either very sure of her smarts . . . or perhaps in need of reassuring others--and...

I was depressed. I didn’t want to throw my husband to the snakes.” We learn this and more in a kind of coming-out interview in People magazine, coming out today. It's titled "No Trophy Wife" because, absent any information to the contrary, many in American society make assumptions about a 65-year-old man being married to a beautiful woman 24 years younger. The story opens with the former Jeri Kehn in sweatpants and ragged nails...

Petty Officer 2nd Class Josh Miramontez, 25, is one of just five non-celebrities on the list, Coast Guard public affairs officer Anastasia Devlin said. “They did a celebrity thing, but five of the 50 were rescuers nationwide,” Devlin said. “They took in a lot of pictures and his was selected.” Miramontez is deserving of the honor, Devlin said. “Oh, yes.

But she certainly didn’t expect rampant drinking, drug use, profanity, and explicit descriptions of sex and nudity. Nevertheless, that’s exactly what she found. Segelstein’s daughter had been clamoring to read the Gossip Girl series, which “‘all’ of her friends were reading,” she said. After seeing what was in the books, Segelstein was floored. But a school librarian confirmed, “They’re very popular among sixth and seventh graders.” Even worse, the librarian added, “Some parents are so happy that their kids...

Here's one clue. People magazine just named the gangly, balding, pasty-faced prosecutor to its "Sexiest Man Alive" list. People's editors apparently thought giving Fitzgerald top honors in the "sexiest" category would make them appear too craven. So instead they put him under the heading of "Smart Guys" complete with a photo that People said testifies to his "incorruptible appeal." Asked about the "Sexiest" honor on Friday, Fitzgerald blushed before telling the Chicago Sun-Times: "I almost enjoy going back to...

First Lady Laura Bush was on the cover, captured, I thought, in a harsh and unflattering light - one that showed every wrinkle on her smiling face. At the time, I wondered how difficult it would have been for the photographer to shoot Mrs. Bush from a different angle, in a different light. People magazine, after all, routinely features actors and models to their best advantage. The beautiful people always look beautiful on People's cover.
