Move over Oprah! Angelina Jolie has just been named Hollywood’s Most Powerful Celebrity by Forbes magazine.

Angelina knocked Oprah from the top of the list where she came in number 2, just ahead of Madonna & Beyonce.  Tiger Woods was the only male in the top 5.  Where did Papa Brad Pitt come in?  9th.  But Jennifer Aniston came in at number 8 ahead of Brad.  Kobe Bryant, Steven Spielberg & Bruce Springsteen round out the top 10.

Interestingly enough, President Barack Obama came in on the powerful celeb list at number 49.-Dr.FB

Madonna is the top MILF mom according to Forbes list of Hollywood’s Hardest Working Mothers.  She made $110 million last year.  That is a lot of cheese.

She made a $105 million from touring and endorsement deals.  That is a lot of money to raise a kid from another country.  I wonder how much Guy Ritchie got his hands on of that $110 million. 

I think I am in the wrong business. I need to  become Madonna’s ex-husband.  I would have to give up drinking Arrowhead water and no more plans smoking Hookah on Friday nights.  I need to hit the gym after work to put my plan together.-Dr.FB
