Jase 13,317 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Jennifer Lopez has topped the annual Forbes list of the 100 most powerful celebrities in the world. Lopez takes over from fellow pop singer Lady Gaga and beats media mogul Oprah Winfrey. The 42-year-old singer, actress and dancer, who rose up through the entertainment world ranks from her humble birthplace of the Bronx, New York, surprisingly jumped from 50th place on last year's list that measures power by entertainment related earnings, media visibility and social media popularity. Forbes estimated Lopez' earnings in the past 12 months at $52 million, and her top ranking is powered by her lucrative gig as a judge on popular television show, American Idol, a new clothing line at Kohl's, a top-selling fragrance and millions of Twitter and Facebook followers. http://tvnz.co.nz/en...es-list-4891756 :toofloppy: Edited May 16, 2012 by Jase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Who will go #1 next year? Marina & The Diamonds? Lana Del Rey? :troll: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagaloo911 12,959 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 At least we all know she'll be #1, or at least Top 3, next year on the list since she's touring again and the BTW Ball is slaying even more so than TMB did. Forbes themself even said the only reason she fell was because she didn't tour this past year. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 I guess this a blow to theories that Adele is gonna knock Gaga off her top spot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad 32 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Who will go #1 next year? Marina & The Diamonds? Lana Del Rey? Natalia Kills obviously :nails: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 13,317 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Surely Carly Rae Jepsen has a shot? Natalia Kills obviously Forgot all about her tbh :toofloppy: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Americano 31,061 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Surely Carly Rae Jepsen has a shot? OR HER. Especially with her SNL comeback, that definitely puts her #1 on press/media/social. Even if she made like 1M dollars, apparently we don't even use the ranking system anyway. We can just say that part doesn't matter and give her the top spot.

My housemates are asking me why I'm loling so hard for Oh deary me, Forbes, you have excelled yourself this year. I'm glad we can all at least laugh about this. Exactly. If it was anybody other than J-Lo (Perry, Rihanna, Minaj), the meltdowns would be just depressing. Edited May 16, 2012 by Jase Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gagito 0 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 Next year Gaga will easily beat the $100 million mark, a fragrance out and one of the most successful tours of all time, honestly i believe she have that #1 on the bag, Madonna can have a higher earning tour but Gaga is the QUEEN of all media now.

StrawberryBlond 14,874 Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 (edited) Who went down on who to get this result? Must be a very late April Fools. J-Lo's team must be pulling out all the stops to keep her so-called comeback going for as long as possible. J-Lo's US sales vs. Gaga's.US sales Album J-Lo - peaked at #5. Sales of 83,100 copies in the first week. To date, has sold 318,000 copies in the US (and 1 million worldwide) Gaga - peaked at #1. Sales of 1,108,000 copies in the first week. To date, has sold over 2 million copies in the US (and over 8 million worldwide). Singles J-Lo On The Floor - peaked at #3. Sold 170,000 copies in the first week. To date, has sold 3,486,000 copies in the US (and over 4 million copies worldwide). I'm Into You - peaked at #41. No sales information available. To date, has sold 500,000 copies in the US (and roughly 1 million worldwide). Papi - peaked at #96. No sales information available. Has sold less than 500,000 copies worldwide. Dance Again - peaked at #20. One off release. Sold 118,000 copies in the first week. No foreign sales available yet. Gaga Born This Way - peaked at #1. Sold 448,000 copies in the first week (three days, in this case). To date, has sold 3,533,000 copies in the US (and has sold over 8.2 million copies worldwide). Judas - peaked at #10. Sold 162,000 copies in the first week. To date, has sold over 1 million copies in the US (and sold over 2 million copies worldwide). The Edge Of Glory - peaked at #3. Sold 266,000 copies in the first week. Sold 2,440,000 copies in the US (and sold over 3 million copies worldwide). You And I - peaked at #6. Sold 83,000 copies in its first week. To date, has sold 1,947,000 in the US (and roughly 2 million copies worldwide). Marry The Night - #29. Sold 35,000 copies in its first week. To date, has sold 500,000 copies in the US (and over 1 million copies worldwide). Clearly, Gaga wins. This list stinks of a fix. Jeez, I thought Tulisa winning the FHM Sexiest Woman title was bad. But this? Words fail me. Edited May 16, 2012 by StrawberryBlond Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
