But the Forbes list of most powerful celebrities, which considers income along with other factors such as media interest and the number of friends on stars’ MySpace pages, doesn’t bode well for today’s starlets and celebutantes.
Jail resident Paris Hilton and jailbound Nicole Richie fell off the 2007 list, thanks to declining interest in ‘The Simple Life’ and do-nothing albums. So did Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who had been moving up the list from 2002 to 2006. So much for their tween cache.
Rehab queen Lindsay Lohan already had fallen off in ‘06, after two years. And Britney Spears, who ranked No. 1 in 2002, fell off the following year and hasn’t returned.
