• You're welcome, Clint!

  Barack%20Obama

• I think Forbes is officially OVAH!

• So movie directors are the ultimate power players.

• From a magazine founded by a gay man I would have expected a more interesting selection.

• #3 can't have been too influential if they (or you) can't even spell his name correctly.

• I thought the Madonnabot said she was going to be number one. After all, she had the biggest selling tour of ALL TIME!!!

• How is it possible that Oprah is the most influential when she can't even get people to watch her network?

  I'm confused

• Not so, R7. Oprah's OWN is coming up in the ranks of cabledom. It was slow at first, but it's quickly becoming the engine that could. With shows like "Iyanla: Fix My Life" and "Sweetie Pies"--both of which draw big numbers, and her "Next Chapter" series in which she's scored major interviews, the channel has seen an upswing. And with several new shows coming down the pike, including a LaToya Jackson reality series, more people will definitely tune in. Oh, and she's Oprah.
