Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie frequently make lists about star power or beautiful appearances. However, Vanity Fair has released their Top 100 Power List. The power list is about more than just being a pretty face, having a keen fashion sense, or even talent.
According to Vanity Fair:
The Vanity Fair 100 represents a global, movable band of thinkers, owners, creators, and buyers who are the tastemakers, trendsetters, opinion formers and agenda creators in the worlds of politics, entertainment, media, business, technology, and fashion. Entry into the ranks of the V.F. 100 is based on a number of factors: wealth and influence, as well as such intangibles as vision, philanthropy, and the x factor.
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie ranked in at 9th place on the Vanity Fair 100. The pair were a joint entry rather than two separate entries, which is a bit weird, but the important thing is that people are noticing that the Jolie-Pitt union is way more than a red carpet couple. They were listed as both actors and activists. It’s their first time on the list, so to be placed in the top ten is impressive.
The top ten people on the Vanity Fair 100 are as follows (with their 2007 ranking in parentheses):
1. Vladimir Putin, Russian Prime Minister (new entry)
2. Rupert Murdoch, News Corp. (1)
3. Sergey Brin (3), Larry Page (3), and Eric Schmidt (new entry), Google
4. Steve Jobs, Apple, Disney, and Pixar (2)
5. Warren Buffett, Berkshire Hathaway (5)
6. Jeff Bezos, Amazon (23)
7. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, ruler of Dubai (new entry)
8. Roman Abramovich, Millhouse Capital (30)
9. Angelina Jolie & Brad Pitt, actors, activists (new entry)
10. Al Gore, eco-warrior (19)
You can see the full list here.
Way to go, Brad and Angelina!

I have been saying for a long time now that I consider them a power couple. I am so glad to see that they are finally being given the credit they truly deserve. As for carrying their children, because of all the craziness that surrounds them each time they go out, that is really the only true way of protecting the children. And so what, it is their children and they can do what ever they want. The people out there that does all the complaining about them do not pay attention to these types of lists, because they have no interest of what is really going on in this world.

Wow, Angie & Brad must have done something really good to be recognized such as this, and at top ten at that!
By the way,I came across of this comment from someone who admires Angie. Pls see an excerpt from

Elle Macpherson (a model) nominated actress Angelina Jolie when asked who had perfect looks.
“She has lovely limbs, wrists and ankles, but she is all woman,” Macpherson said.

VF are manipulative. I don’t trust their motives.
They, like all the other publications have a love h8te relationship towards Brad and Angie. They insert them into everything to get more hits and readers.
Am not saying Brad and Angie don’t deserve to be honoured but, come on VF? Patting them on the back?
Cynical yes I am, this magazine is practiced at giving with one hand… and well, you know the rest!
