Oprah & Beyonce Top Forbes' Celebrity Power List+Vivica & Monica's BET Awards Catfight?

Jun 29 | by Natasha

The power list is out. Forbes magazine ranked the top 100 most powerful celebs in the business. And a few surprises are in the mix. Lady GaGa shot to #4 out of nowhere, and a certain someone has reclaimed the #1 tiara.

The rankings and the drama between Monica and Vivica Fox when you read on....

Oprah is back in that #1 spot with $315 millie raked in last year and tons of Google searches, press coverage, and influence over this country. She was bumped by Brangelina previously, but now, the real Queen Of All Media is back on her throne.

And the #2 spot went to another YBF chick. Beyonce raked in $87 millie and comes in only second to Oprah when it comes to influence. That's serious. And, these two are the only YBF folks in the top 10.

13 spots down, B's hubby Jay-Z ranked #15, while Kobe Bryant came in at 14 and Michael Jordan sewed up that #20 spot. Other black folks on the 100 list: Tyler Perry, Lebron James, Floyd Mayweather, Diddy, Venus and Serena Williams, Shaq, Lil Wayne, and Akon. Congrats!

And while folks were out stacking paper after the BET Awards, Vivica Fox and Monica were Twitter beefing about Viv's comments on Monica's fashion sense. Apparently, on a fashion critique show of the BET Awards, Viv went in about Monica's interesting performance outfit. And Monica struck back:

Meow. Here's Monica's apologetic tweets she did earlier today and later last night:

Sunds like they've kissed and made up now...

PPL are so damn gullible.

PPL are so damn gullible. Forbes magazine is not credible. It has no different than ppl's magazine HOTTEST issue. These ppl don't really know how much these people made for the year. Why would celebs tell them their business. Its all about hype and how many times you were in the press. Someone mentioned Beyonce being richer than Kobe no she aint. Even though she made that in a year doesn't mean she is richer. It only means she made that amt in a year. Don't read too much into it. Mary Kate and Asley Olsen's company made 100's of million they are not on the list, Where is magic Johnson. Its just a group of ppl sitting around a table giving their bias opinion!!! Stop being so damn gulible. I'm sure Bill Gates, and a few other way more powerful ppl than Oprah will beg to differ about that list!!!!

Those "plenty of young black women" are not on the Forbes list. Stop being a miserable hater and give credit where credit is due. Numbers don't lie dear. She is number 2 on the Forbes list for a reason as Oprah is number 1 for a reason. Also for the record honey NONE of us are getting any younger and that includes YOU.

Congrats to all the celebs

Congrats to all the celebs who topped the Forbes list this year. Especially Oprah, Beyoncé, and GaGa, love them all. IMO Monica looked like a pure idiot at the BET Awards. She just does not wear certain clothes well. Some designers are just not for everyone. Just because some of the top celebs wear it doesn't mean she should too.
