She’s one of the biggest names in media and philanthropy in the world and Oprah Winfrey has been named as the most powerful celebrity on the planet by Forbes magazine.

Ms. Winfrey displaced Angelina Jolie for the top spot, having earned $315 million from June 2009 to June 2010.

Coming in at #2 is Beyonce Knowles, whose $87 million in earnings was bolstered by a massive amount of mentions in print, television, radio, and social media.

Rounding out the top 10 are James Cameron, Lady GaGa, Tiger Woods, Britney Spears, U2, Sandra Bullock, Johnny Depp, and Madonna.

Tiger Woods didn’t miss a putt inside of eight feet and didn’t three-putt once when he re-wrote the record books at United States Open in 2000.

He also, as caddie Steve Williams told me, didn’t make any mistakes.

That was then, and now life on the Pebble Beach greens is as bumpy and unpredictable for Woods as, well, life.

PEBBLE BEACH, Calif., June 17 (UPI) -- Shaun Micheel, Paul Casey and Brandon de Jonge survived the bumpy greens of Pebble Beach to share the lead Thursday after one round of the U.S. Open.

"The greens were awful," said Tiger Woods, who three-putted twice and turned in a score of 74 that left him five shots off the pace. "The ball was going everywhere. You couldn't leave yourself a second putt. We were talking about it all day."
