'Most Powerful' Celebrity : Oprah Winfrey Named 'Most Powerful' Celeb
0 comments Posted by SRAINA at 12:07 AMOPRAH Winfrey has been named the world’s most powerful celebrity.
This year, Oprah Winfrey is back atop the list for the fourth time.
The TV star — who fronts The Oprah Winfrey Show and is the president of media company Harpo Productions — has topped the annual Most Powerful Celebrity poll conducted by Forbes magazine, knocking Angelina Jolie off the top spot with earnings of $315 million last year.
Winfrey was followed by singer Beyonce Knowles, "Avatar" director James Cameron, newcomer Lady Gaga and disgraced golfer Tiger Woods.
The Forbes Most Powerful Celebrity list looks at wealth, TV/radio popularity, press rank, web rank and social status — with even Twitter followers being taken into consideration.
The 2010 poll placed Twilight star Robert Pattinson on the list for the first time, in 50th position following the success of the vampire movies, and after earning $17 million last year.
Despite a tumultuous year in her personal life, Oscar-winning actress Sandra Bullock was placed eighth in the poll after pocketing $56 million in the past 12 months. She was just behind golfer Tiger Woods, who was placed fifth, Britney Spears, sixth, and rock band U2 — consisting of Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton and Larry Mullen Jr. — who were placed seventh.

Megan Fox's publicist confirmed Tuesday the actress married her longtime beau, actor Brian Austin Green, in Hawaii during the weekend.
The 24-year-old sex symbol wed her longtime boyfriend, Brian Austin Green, 36, in Hawaii June 24, according to their reps. Green's 8-year-old son, Kassius, attended the small, private ceremony held at the Four Seasons hotel on Hawaii's Big Island.
It is the first marriage for both Green and Fox, who recently go re-engaged at the same hotel on June 1. Though some reports said they had called off their first engagement four years ago, Fox told reporters earlier this month that they'd been engaged this whole time. She also, however, swore that she and Green wouldn't get married for "years."
The couple, who have tattoos of each other's names and share custody of a potbellied pig, dogs, two cats, two birds and a squirrel, first met in 2004 on the set of "Hope & Faith" and have dated on and off ever since. Fox has been vocal about her preference for older men. "Boys in their 20s are a waste of time," she explained to Elle. "They have nothing to offer conversationally. They're immature. I feel like I have a better shot with someone in his 30s."
Sandra Bullock : Actress Sandra Bullock's divorce from Jesse James is final
0 comments Posted by SRAINA at 11:40 PMSandra Bullock and love rat Jesse James have finalised their divorce, marking the end of their five year marriage.
The 45-year-old actress first filed for divorce in April, stating that the couple's nearly five-year marriage had become "insupportable" following reports of infidelity by James.
The reason for the split was citied as a 'discord or conflict of personalities' as the official divorce settlement allows Bullock to complete the adopting of her son Louis as a single parent.
Sandra adopted the child from New Orleans with Jesse before he was outed as a cheat for starting an 11 month affair with heavily tattooed model Michelle 'Bombshell' McGee.
Jesse recently broke his silence on their split claiming: "There is only one person to blame for this whole situation, and that is me. It's because of my poor judgment that I deserve everything bad that is coming my way."
