Forbes Most Powerful Parents

Karen — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 13:34:00 GMT

Forbes just released it's annual "Most Powerful Celebrities' List and there were a few parents that made the cut.

Tiger Woods took second place behind Oprah, with earnings of $115 million. I can't even fathom that much money.

Angelina Jolie took 3rd place, but her earnings were peanuts compared to Woods at $14 million. (I wouldn't mind peanuts like that!)

David Beckham, placed fifth, and “Pirates of the Caribbean” star Johnny Depp who grabbed sixth. “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling took 9th place, thanks to the release of the final Harry Potter book “Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows,” which earned $44 million thus far.

So who rounded out the top ten? Hint: this person is married to someone higher up on the list. Any guesses?

If you guessed Brad Pitt, you nailed it! The reasoning behind his making the list? For being half of the the biggest supercouple in the press, all the attention he recieves and lastly, for his actual work which results in high box office ratings.

So did you get it right?

Britney Is Poor Y'all - Let's Take Up A Collection!

Sassy Smith — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 21:06:00 GMT

Britney Spears used to be worth ALOT - now, not so much. In 2007, Spears was listed in Forbes mag as one of THE richest women in entertainment and her net worth was estimated at $100 million.

Howard Grossman, her business manager was tight lipped as to the size and condition of her estate, but it was revealed in court that Spears is ONLY worth $40 million now. Um, only $40 million smackeroos? Gosh, how sad for Brit. How will she ever get through life on FORTY MILLION DOLLARS? I wish I had that problem.

Brit's new lawyer told Pagesix.com that Spears has filed a $17 million IRS tax audit involving Jive Records, in an effort to get money back that had been paid by the label.

Also at issue in the hearing, which continues now, are 15 businesses in Britney's name. Each one of them covers a specific part of her empire, from publishing and touring to her fragrance and other merchandise.

Sure, if someone - Britney's label or any other money grubbing party/person took funds from Spears that they weren't entitled to, that certainly isn't right but the chick still has about $40 million, so I don't think she's going to be living in a cardboard box on Main Street anytime soon. I want to add 'because she's living in a padded room right now,' but that's mean, so I won't say that. Excuse me while I polish my halo.

Forbes Magazine is Just Making Crap Up

Whit Honea — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 12:26:00 GMT

Forbes Magazine, usually a fairly respected journal, has put out a list which makes about as much sense as ranking the top ten things in my pocket (fyi: keys, nickel, receipt for atm, penny, pacifier, cell phone, nickel, nickel- I only had 8 things).

The magazine ranked the most influential infants in Hollywood*. What the hell does that mean? Who are they influencing? I have kids in that age group and they don't even know who these people are. If Forbes is looking for influential then I suggest they look in the direction of the Backyardigans and Elmo. The only people these kids have any influence over are their parents and their respective entourage of bodyguards and nannies.

That said, here's the top 5:

1. Shiloh Jolie-Pitt
2. Suri Cruise
3. Zahara Jolie-Pitt
4. Sean Preston Federline
5 . Pax Jolie-Pitt

Note, Maddox is too old for the list, it's like Menudo- you start talking in complete sentences and they boot your ass. It ain't easy on the street for an influential infant.

*I refuse to acknowledge the results of this listing as my girl Violet was obviously cheated.
