Looks like announcing the end of her reign as queen of the daytime (late afternoon) talk show circuit was a brilliant move on Oprah’s part and continues to pay her dividends.

Forbe’s Magazine announced it’s annual Celebrity 100 list, which factors in influence, media pressence, earnings, popularity, and the all importent yet somehow undefineable “it” factor that makes all the difference.

Last year, the Mighty Opes got bumped from the top spot by Angelina Jolie (who dropped 17 spots this year), who was riding on the success of the period drama Changeling and action flick Wanted.

Rounding out the Top Ten?  Beyonce - #2,  director James Cameron - #3, Lady Gaga – #4, Tiger Woods – #5 (really?), Britney Spears – #6 (again, really?), rock group U2 – #7, Sandra Bullock – #8, Johnny Depp – #9, and at #10, Madonna.
