Oprah Winfrey tops Forbes' Celebrity 100 based on earnings and appeal. The last time the talk-show mogul topped the list was in 2005. Her estimated worth this year is 260 million dollars. George Clooney debuts at no. 40 to enter the list for the first time in his career. Cate Blanchett and FHM's World's Sexiest Woman Jessica Alba are also among the new members of this circle of the most influential celebrities. Comedian Jim Carrey, who once topped the list, is no longer in the top 100. Also absent from this year's list are regulars Cameron Diaz, Renee Zellweger and Leonardo DiCaprio. Bad girls Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears (no. 1 in 2002) are nowhere to be found. 1. Oprah Winfrey 2. Tiger Woods 3. Madonna 4. Rolling Stones 5. Brad Pitt 6. Johnny Depp 7.
