Women rule Forbes' celebrity power list, Gaga makes debut

Talk show host Winfrey earned an estimated $315 million, putting her atop the annual Forbes' Celebrity 100 list for the fourth time. Winfrey reclaimed the No. 1 spot from 2009 winner Angelina Jolie, who fell to 18th in the latest ranking.
Grammy-winning R&B singer Beyonce rose to second with an estimated $87 million from a tour and album sales, together with deals in fashion, fragrance and other endorsements.
Despite the worldwide recession, Forbes said that celebrity earnings remain "remarkably resilient, with this year's stars having earned a collective $4.7 billion during the past year, up from $4.1 billion in 2009."
Forbes' ranking is a measurement of entertainment-related earnings over the past 12 months as well as exposure in print, television, radio, online, and social media.
"Avatar" director James Cameron jumped back onto the Forbes list for the first time since 1999, landing at No. 3 after his movie earned a record $2.7 billion at worldwide box offices.
Glam pop star Lady Gaga made the list for the first time, taking fourth place with estimated earnings of $62 million.
Golfer Tiger Woods is the world's fifth most powerful celebrity, despite a sex scandal that took him out of golfing for five months and lost him several lucrative endorsements.
"He managed to earn $105 million during the past year, even as his revenue streams have diminished and his golf course design business struggles in the global economy," said Forbes.
The top five on the Forbes' 2010 Celebrity 100 list are:
1. Oprah Winfrey, $315 million
2. Beyonce Knowles, $87 million
3. James Cameron, $210 million
4. Lady Gaga, $62 million
5. Tiger Woods, $105 million
