LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Time Magazine released The Time 100 list today, naming Miley Cyrus, The Dalai Lama, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie as 100 of the most influential people in the world.
The list is divided into five subsections: Leaders and Revolutionaries; Builders and Titans; Artists and Entertainers; Scientists and Thinkers; and Heroes and Pioneers.
Some of those selected for the Artists and Entertainers category include Miley Cyrus, George Clooney, Mariah Carey, Judd Apatow, Robert Downey Jr., and Chris Rock. Donny Osmond, a former teen star himself, wrote about 15 year old Miley Cyrus, "Within three to five years, Miley will have to face adulthood … I hope Miley enjoys every minute of this brief experience before her inevitable reinvention takes place. It’s going to make a fascinating book someday. I’ll read it.”
Those named in the Heroes and Pioneers section include Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Oprah Winfrey, Tony Blair and Lance Armstrong. George Clooney was chosen to write about Pitt and Jolie and he said, “It is one thing to talk about the problems of the world and quite another to actually try to change things … There are hundreds of people who could be honored for their good works, but I’ve seen Brad and Angelina firsthand, and their commitment together is truly impressive.”
Both Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton were included in the Leaders and Revolutionaries category, as well as the Dalai Lama, John McCain and George W. Bush. Some of those selected for the Builders and Titans category were Steve Jobs, Karl Lagerfeld, Rupert Murdoch and Radiohead. Scientists and Thinkers named to the list were Paul Allen, Michael Bloomberg and Mark Zuckerberg.
