Dan Brown was tenth? That's freakin' funny. I'm a bit suprised that Tom Cruise was on top, but now that I think about it - there's really nobody else I can think of that is as much in the news and successful. Good to see Spielberg is still making the grade.

Oprah isn't first, Tom Cruise is. She's wound up third.

Okay but you do realise that Tom Cruise is first right? Was that not obvious from the title.
And also Oprah was third right behind Rolling Stones.
Bad couple of minutes huh?

The list is silly, because they are basing the "most powerful" celebritry on trivial things like "number of hits each received on Google Internet searches, mentions in the press, television and radio as well as the number of cover photos in 26 major US magazines".
Cruise is #1 on the list, because he has been acting like an ass and THAT'S why he has so many searches and has been on so many gossip magazines. But does anyone really think that all the controversy has made him more "powerful"? Probably the exact opposite of that.
Spielberg most likely has much more pull in Hollywood than Cruise has. And his income is much bigger as well. The fact that he is not on tabloids doesn't make him any less powerful.
If the two would end up in a power battle, it would be Cruise who would give in, not Spielberg.

Is that true? Like I said I never read the article. Just wanted to post it to see the Cruise haters hit the roof again.

I'm not sure that any of the things that he has done in the past months as dented his "power".
The guy is still a box office draw. He makes money and that's all that counts.
Also the article says he is the most powerfull "celebrity" Could be wrong but i doubt that only ounts as pull in hollywood. I would imagine it would include alot of things.

The most powerful celebrity is the celebrity that can lop off the heads of all of the other celebrities until that last celebrity stands victorious.
That celebrity receives "The Quickening"
Cause there can be...only one.
Don't dispute me on this.
They did a movie about it!
(To see Tom Cruise AND Jessica Alba's heads being lopped off by Will Smith? OOOH! I would PAY to see that!)

Major box office draw and will sic his lawyers on you in heart beat if you talk negatively about him in reference to his love life and will play to win if religion is the topic on hand.
