Why isnt Madonna or Oprah on the cover they came in 2nd and 3rd. I guess putting them on the cover would make Forbes look trashy. Obviously Beyonce agreed to be on the cover because she in on tour. Angie only does magazine photo shoots covers when she is promoting a movie i.e July 2008 Vanity Fair or Entertainment Weekly for Wanted BTW Angie was on the cover in 2007 and she was #3 on the list in 2008

if she is so powerful, I wonder why she is not the cover. Wouldn’t she sell more according to their analysis?

Plus if your Manager has served in the past as a member of Forbes Board of Directors since November 2001 like angie’s, ultimately, there will be conflict of interest. Geyer Kosinski is angie’s manager and he was a member of Forbes board of directors. He is executive producer (financially backed) for Wanted, M&MS and The Changeling. He’s also backing her next movie that they haven’t even started filming yet. He is also producing (Fox 2000/Patricia Cornwell Project) -starring jolie as Dr. Kay Scarpetta.

Lets not kid ourselves, no amount of media attention would have gotten her in that position, then Brad Pitt would be number 2 or even one since he earned more and most media covers they have are shared. The truth is that Jolie has them in their pockets. Still they realise that putting her on the cover would make them look trashy. What irony.

I love it. It’s the Aniston fans constant stalking of Jolie that has made her SO MUCH MORE famous than she would be. Congratulations, GUYS! Karma, indeed. hahaha

That’s why Forbes gradually loses their circulation and becomes less relevant to the world. They cook up too many this kind of “list” for media buzz, eventually people get tired. Worst, sometimes the list just doesn’t make sense.

To be honest, not even Oprah should be No2, if the survey considers the factors such as global influence because Oprah is not that famous and important outside America. Meanwhile, Ms Jolie may be favorite for internet and tabloid media, she doesn’t have the influence within the industry.

No. I am not a hater. Just a media observer.

Geronimo: agreed on all counts. It’s been very negative for her and I’m absolutely certain she didn’t invite it. Who in the world would want this kind of vituperation from the tabloids and the hysterical fans of her partner’s ex? She fell in love with a man who no longer loved his wife and wanted out. A bajillion other Hollywood marriages have foundered because one partner dumped his/her spouse for someone else, and none of them, except possibly Taylor/Fisher/Reynolds, has created the explosive reaction of Jolie/Pitt/Aniston. And even Taylor/Fisher/Reynolds didn’t drag on for five years. Reynolds married somebody else, Taylor ran off with Richard Burton, and everybody got tired of the whole thing and found other things to talk about.

Poor Jen made the list. Never underestimate the power of pity.

Thanks, Cheyenne, that’s exactly the point I was making. It was never my intention to dilute or take anything away from what she’s done with her life, only point out that the insane interest would never have arisen had she not become part of the media ‘golden couple’. In a lot of ways, it’s been a very negative thing for her. Less imo is always more.

Geronimo: “Together, they became a media wet dream and that’s what they’ve been ever since.”

LOL, can’t argue with that. Angie’s achievements are impressive, but they would never have garnered the media attention they have received if it wasn’t for the Infernal Triangle. Jennifer did her a favor.
