Angelina "Queen" of the B Movies.
==================================

She's more than that.

She won an Academy Award for "Girl Interrupted."

She's been in a number of fine films, including "Changeling" (2008), for which she was nominated for an Academy Award, "A Mighty Heart" and "The Bone Collector."

And she has toned arms, like Michelle Obama.

From IMDb.com:

"While [filming in Cambodia], Jolie witnessed the natural beauty, culture and poverty of that country. She considered this an eye opening experience, and so began the humanitarian chapter of her life. Jolie began visiting refugee camps around the world and came to be formally appointed as a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). Some of her experiences were written and published in her popular book "Notes from My Travels" whose profits go to UNHCR.

Jolie has stated that she now plans to spend most of her time in humanitarian efforts, to be financed by her actress salary. She devotes one third of her income to savings, one third to living expenses and one third to charity. In 2002, Angelina adopted a Cambodian refugee boy named Maddox and in 2005 adopted an Ethiopian refugee girl named Zahara. Jolie's dramatic feature film Beyond Borders (2003) parallels some of her real life humanitarian experiences although, despite the inclusion of a romance between two westerners, many of the movie's images were too depressingly realistic -- the film was not popular among critics or at the box office."

So where is Michelle Obama on the list ?

Surely she really outranks both Oprah and Angelina.

In reality.

She is a skank. You may not like Oprah, but her influence has touched millions of people worldwide and isn't a skank. Jolie is an adulterer, ugly, B actor, baby maker and attention grabber. You can have her.

Winfrey could buy and sell Jolie every month of the year yet Jolie's more "powerful".

What a laugh that is.

dwilson59 said: " I say lets tax them at 99% they make too much money"

They get paid what conservative Republicans say they get paid. Personally, I promote a return to the 1950's, when any amount you made over $3 million a year was taxed at 90%. Leaving you with $3 million taxed at the lower 25% rate.

But no. They're not just rich, they're STINKIN' rich thanks to supply-side Republicans. While the rest of us a poor and STINKIN' poor, to boot.

Gosh, this is important news!! Hey, CBS, I also heard that the image of the Virgin Mother had been found in a polar bear stool. You need to report that as well, as it could be an important harbinger of the second coming.
