Is it just me, or does everyone get excited when Forbes release the ‘Most Powerful Celebs’ list?! I love seeing whose up there at the top, having a huge influence over our celeb world, and I don’t mind getting a peak at their bank balance either…you’d be surprised who hit the list in 2010, though. As well as a couple of the usual, there was a lot of movement, and some brand new faces too. Here are the top ten!

1. Oprah Winfrey

Oprah just seems to go from strength to strength, and knocking Angelina Jolie off the top spot in this years Forbes list reflects this perfectly. Not only does she earn millions ($315, to be exact!) but she’s also very well ‘branded’…she’s got an opinion everyone always wants to here, and she manages to keep herself out of controversial situations. She’s even rumoured to be launching her own TV station later this year! Oprah is one step closer to world domination…You go, girl!

2. Beyonce Knowles

Beyonce has had a lot to deal with recently, with her parents marriage breaking down publicly, but coming second on this list has to boost her mood. Not only is she one of the sexiest girls in showbiz, but she’s raking in the millions too, and she’s happily married to 15th place Jay-Z. What a power couple! She’s also so refreshingly nice…she’s down to earth, and she’s never going to be stick thin. I love her!

3. James Cameron

You’d be forgiven for not recognizing this name, although if you haven’t seen his film you must have been under a rock. James was the director of amazing 3D film Avatar, which helped him to hit $210 million, and propelled him up the Forbes list. He’d previously fallen off the list, but his amazing directing abilities shot him right to the top, and I can’t wait to see what great film he comes up with next. Avatar was brilliant!
