Lady Gaga Is More Powerful Than Oprah, the Biebs at No. 3

They’re not exactly the first people we’d expect to be gaga for Lady Gaga, but even they have to admit the extent of her power and influence: the people at Forbes gave the Mother Monster the number one spot on the just-released Celebrity 100 List. Yep, Miss Gaga, with her meat wardrobes and egg-shaped entrances, edged out the ever-prominent Oprah Winfrey for the top spot of the world’s most powerful celebs. It’s only the third time Oprah hasn’t been number one in the last seven years. So what pushed the always original singer to the top? Not just the $90 million dollars she made on tour, but also her 10 million Twitter followers and 32 million Facebook fans (aka ‘Little Monsters’). List first-timer Justin Bieber got spot number 3. Not bad, but we wouldn’t be surprised if Forbes experiences some backlash from the Beliebers. Other noteworthy newcomers? Katy Perry came in at 12, Usher at 32 (he has JB partially to thank), Real Housewives star Bethenny Frankel at 42, and country cutie Brad Paisley at 48.
