The 50 Most Important People on the Web

2. Steve JobsCEO, Apple
No doubt you're sick of the media bonanza surrounding the every move of Apple's CEO, but when one man's appeal for DRM-free music reverberates around the world, it's hard to ignore the power he wields. Jobs popularized legal music downloads and legal TV and movie downloads. And though the iPhone won't be released for five months, its demonstration at Macworld Expo suggested that this product might finally popularize Internet browsing on a mobile device.www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com

The 50 Most Important People on the Web

1. Eric Schmidt, Larry Page, and Sergey BrinExecutives, Google. when your stock price can top $500 a share, you're collectively worth $33 billion in cash, and you run the most trafficked search engine on the Internet, you can afford to do, well, pretty much whatever you want. Sergey Brin and Larry Page's little project from Stanford has grown into the Web's most talked-about powerhouse, and one of the few names on this list to have morphed into a verb. Schmidt left Novell to join the board of directors at Google in 2001 and soon became the company's CEO. Having conquered the online advertising world, Google seems to be gearing up for an acquisition spree, its headline-grabbing purchase of YouTube marking a big step toward complete domination of the Web.www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com

Britney Spears

Born:
December 2, 1981 in Kentwood, LA
Early Start:
At the tender age of 8 years old, Britney auditioned for the Mickey Mouse Club. She was rejected for being too young, but tried again and was signed on at the age of 11.
In 1999, Britney shot to the top of the charts with her album "Baby One More Time". The pop album won four MTV Europe Awards and four Billboard Music Awards.
Wacky Behavior:
In February 2007, Britney went a little wacky and shaved her head completely bald. Days later, she checked herself in, out, and back into rehab at Promises in Malibu.
Strolls Down the Aisle:
In January 2004, Britney married her childhood friend, Jason Alexander in Las Vegas. The marriage was quickly annulled.
In September 2004, she married her backup dancer, Kevin Federline. They have two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James.
Music Video Spoof:
In this hysterical Britney Spears music video spoof from flash animator Dominic Tocci, the popstar is painted in a very funny light with regards to her relationship with K-Fed.
Baby Danger:
In February of 2006, photographers snapped photos of Britney driving her car with baby Sean Preston resting in her lap. The big question was "what was she thinking?" as she endangered the safety of her child. LA Deputies were dispatched to her home but no charges were filed.
Matt Lauer Interview:
In June 2006, Britney publicly aired her laundry in an interview with Matt Lauer. Brit was mocked by viewers for her choice in wardrobe as well as her behavior on the show.

"Just because I look sexy on the cover of Rolling Stone doesn't mean I'm naughty.www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com

britney spears still the number one in search

A historic Presidential election, an economic crisis, and even Hannah Montana were unable to capture the #1 spot in Yahoo’s yearly rankings of popular search terms. Instead, for the 7th time in 8 years, that title goes to Britney Spears.
In the announcement, Yahoo tries to explain: “In 2008, she made a comeback with a new album, three MTV Music Awards, a sitcom guest star role and documentary on her rise, fall and career comeback.” True, Britney actually had a #1 song this year – her first in a decade. But, Yahoo’s rankings are much more a testament to our collective fascination with pop culture, as other terms in the top 10 include World Wresting Entertainment, Miley Cyrus, Jessica Alba, Lindsay Lohan, Angelina Jolie, and American Idol. President-Elect Barack Obama was only the third most-searched for term.
In addition to the most searched terms overall, Yahoo has posted rankings for most searched politicians, Olympians, news stories, women, famous deaths, economic terms, and “rising” celebrities.
If you’re thinking the celebrity fascination might be a Yahoo thing, think again. In Google’s end of year search rankings for 2007, Britney came in at #3, with terms including American Idol, Anna Nicole Smith, and Paris Hilton blanketing the top 10. Any way you slice it, it’s fairly clear we’re all in the wrong business. www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com

Claire Danes is Engaged to Hugh Dancy

Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy are engaged, according to exclusive reports from People. Personally, I'm not convinced that this thing will last, let alone make it to the altar. For those of you with less then stellar memory banks, let me remind you of a few details regarding Miss Danes, 29, and her romantic history.
Back in 2003, after meeting on the set of Stage Beauty in London, Claire and Billy Crudup were so taken with each other that they ditched their significant others to be together. After seven years of dating, Claire, then 25, left singer Ben Lee. Billy, then 36, left longtime love Mary-Louise Parker.
Not only had Billy and Mary been together for eight years, but she was also seven months pregnant with their first child! As Jennifer Aniston would say, that's not cool. Three years later, Claire allegedly cheated on Billy with co-star Hugh Dancy.
Which brings us back to today. What makes Hugh, 33, think that things will be any different this time around? How can he be sure that she won't leave him for the next handsome co-star?www.worldcelebritieswebsite.blogspot.com

Eddie Murphy Ordered to Pay Child Support

Former Spice Girl and Dancing With the Stars hopeful Melanie Brown, 33, is about to have some serious cash coming her way. A court has ordered her ex, Eddie Murphy, to pay $51,000 a month in child support, according to the UK Daily Mail. Mind you, the checks are technically intended for her daughter, but diapers aren't that expensive, are they?
Even though he repeatedly tried to deny it, Eddie, 47, definitely fathered 22-month-old Iris Angel and now he's obligated to finance her needs until she turns 18. Do the math and you'll find the total figure to be somewhere in the ballpark of $10 million. Melanie also has a nine-year-old daughter Phoenix Chi from her first marriage to Jimmy Gulzar. www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com

Chris Brown Arrested for Felony Battery Against Rihanna

Wondering why Chris Brown and Rihanna were mysteriously absent from the Grammys last night? Chris, 19, was 'busy' surrendering to Los Angeles police on possible felony battery charges against a woman, according to TMZ. After posting $50,000 bail, he was quickly released and is due in court March 5.
According to the LA Times, "The victim, who was later identified by sources familiar with the case as Rihanna, suffered visible injuries and identified Brown as her attacker, according to the police report. Authorities did not describe her injuries or whether she was treated for them."
As unfortunate as the situation is, if this turns out to be true, let's just hope Rihanna is smart enough to walk away from this guy and never look back.www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com

A Kiss With Eva Longoria Sells for $35,000

Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria Parker joined the many other celebrities who have offered up their services in the name of charity. Along with model Veronica Webb, Eva attended and co-hosted the first annual Lingerie Miami, which benefits global microfinance organizations.
Eva decided to auction off a kiss and the highest bidder paid $35,000 for the honor, according to Page Six. That's definitely impressive, but doesn't even hold a candle to the woman who paid $350,000 for a kiss with George Clooney back in 2007. Do I spot a celebrity trend in the making? www.worldcelebritieswebsitss.blogspot.com

Mandy Moore Talks About the Recent Engagement

Just days ago, singer Mandy Moore shocked her fans with the announcement that she was engaged and planning to get married. Who is the lucky suitor? That would be none other than her on again/off again boyfriend of less than a year, rocker Ryan Adams.
Mandy's first interview was granted to The Bonnie Hunt Show and the episode airs today. Personally, I think it was a good move since the show tends to be light and definitely on the funny side. When Bonnie congratulated Mandy, 24, on the impending nuptials with Ryan, 34, she responded sweetly saying, "Thank you, I appreciate it. I am very happy."
Okay, so I hate to be a party pooper, but doesn't Mandy have a new album due to be released this May? Let's just hope this whole engagement thing isn't nothing more than another publicity stunt.

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault are Married in Paris

After a long year of breaking up and making up, Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault became husband and wife. Salma, 42, and Francois, 46, took the plunge on Saturday in Paris, according to E! Online.
If you must know, I'm not so sure how I feel about this whole getting married on Valentine's Day thing. It either means that these two are very romantic or simply trying too hard. If you recall, they got engaged in March 2007 and a little over a year later, the wedding was off.
Did they decide to reunite for the sake of their daughter, Valentina Paloma Pinault, 17 months? Or could it have something to do with the fact that the groom happens to be worth $17 billion? I'm just saying. www.worldcelebritieswebsites.blogspot.com
