From the AFP:

WASHINGTON — Superstar US talk show host Oprah Winfrey regained the title of the world’s most powerful celebrity in her fourth appearance in the top spot, said a survey published by Forbes magazine.

With 315 million dollars in earnings, Winfrey, 56, who next year is set to launch her own television channel, ousted Angelina Jolie as the top power player with the actress slipping from last year’s number one to the 18th spot.

Director James Cameron, fresh from the success of his record-breaking movie “Avatar,” came in third with earnings of 210 million dollars.

    I’ve read negatives words about Oprah and our black President. He was called the old-used word “Sambo” by Sad Sarah Palin. She also stated that no blacks would have a position in government or politics. She called Hillary the B-word. I heard that okay for a woman to call another such a name. A Bxxx is a dog. Who wins that title. Sad Sarah also appeared on Oprah’s show.
    Sarah is a dog in heat. Pray that Oprah doesn’t fall for Sarah’s deception. All Sad Sarah wants is Oprah’s support to get minority votes as she did for our black president. A song about Nam was-where have all young men gone. When will they ever learn. Vote for S-Sarah and I’ll write a song-Where have all the young black men gone? Gone before they were born.

    Like some people hipped me to in another thread…In the future, I hope she starts to use this vast influence to create more opportunities for Blacks. We could use more positive public figures in the media. A lot more.

    I mean look. No disrespect to Oprah. And its good to see a black women at the top, and we need more sisters like that out here, but hearing about Oprah having all that money aint doing me a bit of good. She aint giving no body nothing. I am in a desperate need of help. I am about to have my unemployment cut off thanks to these old a** white men in congress who thinks they are doing the right thing for poor people like me and she aint helping at all. I’m trying so hard at looking for work and nothing is happening. Time is running out. And Oprah is no where to be found. And if she was to be found she made it clear that she is not paying for anything for any body. And that’s sad. When that woman leave this earth, she’s not taking ANYTHING with her. Not even the clothes on her back or the jewelry they put on her when she’s dead and buried. And what good is it to gain the world then to loose your soul. Oprah, Trump, Gates, that BILLINARE who though his daughter a 60 MILLION dollar wedding, and so many others need to GIVE. GIVE to those who are stuggling out here. I know I would if I had the money they had. God said GIVE and your reward will be great in heaven. But appearently, these rich folks are heading straight to hell if they don’t change.
