| Leo, Rosie Make Time's Most Influential |
| 2007-05-03 |
| Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and envelope-pushers Rosie O'Donnell and Sacha Baron Cohen are among the entertainment newsmakers on Time magazine's list of 100 people who shape the world. The list of 100 most influential, on newsstands Friday, also includes Queen Elizabeth II, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, YouTube founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, director Martin Scorsese and model Kate Moss. It does not include President Bush. The list includes 71 men and 29 women from 27 countries. Other entertainers making the cut were Oprah Winfrey, George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Justin Timberlake, Tyra Banks, Cate Blanchett, America Ferrera, Tina Fey, John Mayer, Brian Williams, Michael J. Fox, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and "American Idol" creator Simon Fuller. Separately, Time named 14 "power givers" such as Bill and Melinda Gates, Angelina Jolie and Queen Rania al-Abdullah of Jordan. God help us... |

| #13 Yes, but the big question is... "Are any of them influential enough to get anyone to read Time Magazine again??!!!" Thank you all so very much, I'm here all week. Try the veal, and don't forget to tip your wait-person! |

| #12 Naw the Titanic deal was just like the so-called Moon Landing, all made on the back lot. Noone died. |

| #11 Nah, I'd swear it was him. The boat hit an iceberg or something. |

| #10 Leonardo DiCaprio is still around? I thought he drowned in a boating accident a few years ago. Nah, that was Sean Penn. |

| #9 It is a CNN Time poll. CNN doesn't like George W. They are saying that Rosie O'Donnell is more influential than President Bush or VP Cheney. Got to be a lot wrong with this poll. |

| #8 Time is competing with the other successful supermarket rags like People and The National Enquirer. |

| #7 Well, Arafat received the Nobel Peace Prize. He was a terrorist. So go figure. |

| #6 I see Time is trying to make itself completely irrelevant and broke. |

| #2 Hey, I've got another reason not to pick up Time magazine! More like "Time's Luckiest People on Earth" issue... |
