Ellen leads Out Magazine's 50 Most Powerful People list...
Ellen DeGeneres, who famously came out in 1997 with a "Yep, I'm Gay" Time Magazine cover, was named by Time Magazine as THE most powerful gay person on its second annual list of the top movers and shakers. The mag has Anderson Cooper in the number three slot even though he's never come out publicly on a magazine cover or anywhere else that I know of!
Some the people I'm especially glad to see included: Brian Graden (15), Greg Berlanti (19) Rosie O'Donnell (31), Lorri Jean (38) and Martina Navratilova (46).
Here is a LINK to the complete list.
Greg Hernandez has covered the entertainment industry for the Daily
News since 2001. He's considered a bit odd by some for his obsession
with box office numbers, has been known to camp out near the kitchen
at premieres for first crack at the hors d'oeurves, and Greg's never
seen a red carpet he didn't want to stroll down.
