Oprah Winfrey Regains Her Power – on Forbes List

Oprah Winfrey is back on top.

A year after slipping to No. 2 on Forbes' annual Celebrity 100 list, the media queen regained her crown as 2010's most powerful star worth an estimated $315 million.

Last year's title holder, Angelina Jolie, fell 17 spots while Beyoncé climbed to No. 2 with $87 million in earnings (husband Jay-Z landed the No. 15 spot).

The list – determined by a celebrity's earnings and fame – placed Avatar director James Cameron, who pocketed $210 million, at the No. 3 ranking. Lady Gaga and Tiger Woods rounded out the top five.

It was also a good year for Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift, who jumped up to No. 12 from 69, and Twilight stars Robert Pattinson (No. 50) and Kristen Stewart (No. 66). The popular franchise also helped author Stephenie Meyer earn a No. 59 ranking.

Angelina Jolie Doesn't Want Too Big of a Family

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have built a large family, and despite the rumors, it's not likely to get too much bigger – as the actress is concerned about having enough time for each child as they grow up.

Asked if she and Pitt want a seventh child, Jolie, 35, tells Vanity Fair: "We're not opposed to it. But we want to make sure we can give everybody special time."

It's easy when they're small, she says, and don't require much emotional support. But as they get older, "they're going to need a lot more talking in the middle of the night, like I did with my mom for hours. We want to make sure we don't build a family so big that we don't have absolutely enough time to raise them each really well."

The children's personalities are all blooming, Jolie says – particularly Shiloh, who turned 4 last month and seems to be taking her cues from big brothers Maddox and Pax. "She likes to dress like a boy. She wants to be a boy," Jolie says. "So, we had to cut her hair. She likes to wear boys' everything. She thinks she's one of the brothers."

Among the other kids, Maddox is the intellectual, while Zahara has "an extraordinary voice and is just so elegant and well spoken." And the twins, Knox and Vivienne, who will turn 2 next month, "are classic boy and girl," Jolie says. "She's really female. And he's really a little dude."

While family has clearly become Jolie's top priority, acting has become a secondary pursuit – one she might give up entirely in the not-too-distant future. "I don't think I'll do it much longer," she says. "Because I have a happy home. ... I got back from work last night, and everybody was playing music and dancing, and I suddenly found myself dancing around with a bunch of little fun crazy people."

And what about finally getting married to Pitt, 46, her longtime partner? Also not an issue on the front burner. They're not against it, Jolie says, but "it's just like we already are. Children are clearly a commitment, a bigger commitment [than marriage]. It's for life."

Couple Time

On January 2nd, Pitt, 46, and Jolie, 34, shared a romantic dinner for two at the French restaurant Le Perigord. "You could tell they wanted to spend time alone and didn't want to be bothered by anybody else," says a source. "It was wonderful to see a couple so much in love."

Busy Work Schedules

Brad and Angelina Break-Up...Is This a Hoax Too?

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are calling it quits, according to the Daily Mail.

The Hollywood power couple is reportedly meeting with lawyers to negotiate a division of assets totaling $330 million.

Preparations for the break-up began in December when Brad and Angelina met with a top Los Angeles divorce firm to work out details of their split.

Legal documents allegedly signed earlier this week reveal they plan to split their vast fortune and share custody of their children.

“The document was signed in early January. ”The contract was like a tailor-made version of a pre-nuptial agreement except for an unmarried couple’s split. It seemed clear they want the world to know they’ll both play a part in the upbringing of the children.” a source told News of the World.

While the agreement gives them joint custody, the children – three of whom are adopted – will live with Angelina.

The news comes after months of speculation that Brangelina’s five-year relationship was on the rocks. There were reports on January 6 of a heated argument between Pitt and Jolie at Altos restaurant in New York. Sources said Pitt demanded Jolie get psychiatric help for the depression she has suffered from since the death of her mother three years ago.

Reps from both the Pitt and Jolie camps have declined to comment.

Rosie & Angelina were Almost an Item

Rosie O'Donnell had a chance to romance Angelina Jolie before the movie star wed Billy Bob Thornton, but she was too afraid to book a dinner date with the actress.

The gay actress and TV personality has revealed Jolie once gave her her telephone number and the odd couple chatted, but the relationship never went any further.

In a radio chat with DJ Howard Stern on Monday, O'Donnell recalled, "We talked on the phone two or three times, but that was that. There was a tentative plan to have dinner that never came through.

"I was a little afraid of her. She’s scary in a sexual kind of way."

But she has never been able to get Jolie out of her mind: "I have dreams about her a lot still."

The Changeling star reportedly experimented with her sexuality before she wed Thornton - actress/model Jenny Shimizu has often claimed she was involved in a romance with the star a decade ago.

Brad Pitt is busy promoting his upcoming film Inglourious Bastards out later this month and gives a candid interview to Parade Magazine.

In it, the vocal supporter of same-sex marriage discussed the flak he took for stating that he and Angelina Jolie would not be getting married until everyone had the same right.

“I have love in my life, a soul mate–absolutely,” he said. “When someone asked me why Angie and I don’t get married, I replied, ‘Maybe we’ll get married when it’s legal for everyone else.’ I stand by that, although I took a lot of flak for saying it–hate mail from religious groups. I believe everyone should have the same rights. They say gay marriage ruins families and hurts kids. Well, I’ve had the privilege of seeing my gay friends being parents and watching their kids grow up in a loving environment.”

On his kids - he and Jolie have six children: “Would it bother me if a child of mine turns out to be gay? No, not one bit. Listen, I want my kids to live the lives they want to live. I want them to be fulfilled. I hope I teach my kids to be who they really are.”

The pair already has three adopted children - Maddox, seven, from Cambodia, Pax, four, from Vietnam and Zahara, three, from Ethiopia - as well as biological daughter Shiloh, two, and their seven-month-old twins Vivienne and Knox.
