Who is the Most Powerful Star of Them All?


Forbes has just released their Celebrity 100 Power List - and it's no surprise who's number one.

Oprah Winfrey took the prime spot, moving up two places from last year. The media tycoon was the top money-maker with an estimated income of $260 million from June 2006 to June 2007.

"The woman is making history every single year," said Forbes Associate Editor Lea Goldman. "It's not as if she's sitting on her laurels enjoying the show."

Golf star Tiger Woods, who pulled in $100 million, more in a single year than any athlete in history, followed Oprah in second place.

Brad Pitt ranked fifth, beating Angelina, who didn't even make the top 10. But maybe that's because Angelina reportedly gives away more than a third of her income to charity.

As this year's highest paid actor, Johnny Depp came in at number six, raking in $92 million thanks to his role as Captain Jack Sparrow in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" franchise.

And those who didn't make the list?

Former celebrity powerhouses Jim Carrey, Halle Berry, Cameron Diaz, Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie.

All I have to say is even though Oprah DOES NOT have enuff black stars on here show, AND, she didn’t even recgonize the man who through himself on the subway tracks to save another person, that was WRONG Oprah. I still like her no matter what though because its good to see a sista at such a high status right now. I don’t hate on her because she got money. NO! I just wish I had just part of what she got and I’ll be happy. Her and Tiger woods.

So oprah, If you read this, could you PLEASE help my mom and I. I just want to pay off my car payments, gey some groceries, and have money to shop.

PLEASE oprah. God will bless you.

Thank You.

You tell them KH

As a matter of fact all of past shows about Charities do you see any Black Celebrities or Rich Black person Oprah invited on her show? NO!!!

The only people I ever seen are White Celebirties - and ordinary White people, Asia and Spanish are the one who donated their money to Oprah Charities. Oprah even get all these little Kids to give away all of their Saving for her Angel Network, etc

I’ll bet at least half of those money went and going into her banking accounts!!!! You never see her personally supervisor or over see any of the Charities Money will go to good use and to the Needed and Poor people. All she does just pocket her share and let the rest to whoever in charge to take care of it - however; they do get pay a lot, so they would not tell on Oprah. So the Needed and the Poor get maybe just 10% of all the money we all been foolish enough to donated to Oprah - but NO MORE!!!!!

I had a lot of respect for Oprah at one time but they always seem to get too big for their britches after awhile. I think her comment at the Howard University Commencement was uncalled for.”I even got some white folk working for me” is what she said. The whole black community would come out of the woodwork if a white person became successful and said”I even got some black folk working for me” I’ve always said two wrongs don’t make a right! That is how it went down in history and the blacks didn’t like it but now “Lady O” thinks it’s okay to reverse the situation and all should be fine with it!! Well it’s people like her that keep racism going. They didn’t like working for the white folk but now “Lady O” can think shes big stuff because she has white folk working for her. You’re on your way for a downfall Oprah because when you get too big for your own good you fall!!!!

To Janis Nelson

well it is all over the news and other TV show and very some other celebrities was asked about Oprah - their response was don’t even talked to me about Oprah because every time I see her she always nagging me more about donation this and donation that.

Also you should hear about Oprah book club controversy in the past. If she mention or recommending any books on her shows – she will get her name on the book and she gets half of the profit, remember?

Also all of the thing she said she give away to this and that person or couple or for whatever the event – well, that is not out of her own pocket! It from the companies that want to be mention on her show: example like if she says she gives this couple a pair of Ford vehicle; well, those are from Ford give to the couple and not out of Oprah pocket!

Just look at how many Charities Oprah claiming that she done and/or still - do you ever heard that she did out of her kindness and out of her pocket without other celebrities she drag in and she want recognition that she is the one did them and nothing mention about other celebrities names or other corporation names who are involved too! That why you don’t see she talk much about all of them charities much on her show anymore because not many celebrities and big corporation want to be involved with Oprah anymore!

Oprah is total opposite from Angelina Jolie – Angelina never care about been recognize in the public eyes or publicity of all the Charities she does. Angelina does everything out of Love and Kindness – she does not care about frame and greedy. That why Oprah is a Billionaires now because she pocket other people money like you and I; celebrities and big corporation; and all of the so call Oprah Charities, etc. Oprah does not care about where and what money the Charities money we and other donated went to or used for – as long as she get her share of the money because her name is being use for the cause!

Remember the incident with the TX Cow Disease. So Oprah had to do her show in TX. What did Oprah keep saying from the very first time she step foot in TX; on her shows in TX; and other interviews – she keep said TX owed her “Big Time!” Man I can go on forever but it just wasting my time – I hope most other should know about Oprah by now and not donating any more money to Oprah Charities, etc. I sure stop it a long time. The only Charities I do believe in and that they Honest and Do Good are Angelina and Brad – The Red Cross – and Jerry Kids – that where my donating go to. At least I know a lot of Celebrities know and Big Corporation know about Oprah that why they do not want to have anything to do with her anymore!

Wow Johnathan Le that’s heavy. Where are you getting your information form?

God!!! I cannot believe they put Oprah in there and at the top!!!!! She is one of the most Cunning – Schemes – Liars - Manipulating – Cheapskate – Greedy – Selfish – Two faces, etc. person in the world!

All of these so call Charities and her Angel Network – Crap, she pocket herself at least half of them and she never give a penny out of her own pocket to the Poor or the Needed! She just uses other Celebrities to rub off of them by pretending to lend her voice in the Charities. But all she does just squeeze them out of more money and make look like all of that so call Goodness and Kindness all come from Her. No wondering most Celebrities stay away from her - when they see Oprah True Face. Just like the last incident of Charities. Only Angelina and Brad are the one really do the most to other countries and Africa too. Oprah bad mouth them in the past just to pretending chummy with Jennifer A. and Oprah said she would not inviting Brad and Angelina on her show ever again.

But when Angelina become ambassador and got recognizing for all the Kindness and Goodness she done with all of the Charities around the world including Africa. What Oprah did – she tried to use Angelina by invited Angelina to Africa for one of so call Oprah Africa Charity – Oprah just full of B.S. That is why Angelina would not even be bother to reply for your invite or be bother with that Two Faces’ of you Oprah. I bet Oprah did not give anything instead she gets other companies and other Celebrities to donate the money and Oprah get all of the Credit just likes everything she claiming she did this and she did that on her show!!!!!

As a matter of fact every time I heard about Oprah going to show what her Angel Network going to give or doing something good for somebody and will show on her show. I watch them and what do I seen – Oprah just give out houses to Black Family only but only several time that all! Where the rest of the Donation went to – to Oprah Bank Account that is where they went and going to!!!!!

Comparing to Angelina’s an Angel - while Oprah’s a Devil!!!!!!!

Oprah, you are a Disgrace as a Human being also you is a Disgrace to your own Race and you are a Disgrace as an American!!!!!!
