NEW YORK - Heartthrob Leonardo DiCaprio and envelope-pushers Rosie O'Donnell and Sacha Baron Cohen are among the entertainment newsmakers on Time magazine's list of 100 people who shape the world.

The list of 100 most influential, on newsstands Friday, also includes Queen Elizabeth II, presidential hopefuls Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama (news, bio, voting record), YouTube founders Steve Chen and Chad Hurley, director Martin Scorsese and model Kate Moss. It does not include President Bush.

So a man with access to the red phone and button, even if he stumbles over words and invents a few new ones, is less influential than, say, Barack Obama?

People would rather read about Kate Moss and Leo DiCaprio. It's more entertaining, less actual thinking involved.

The YOUTUBE founders are the only legitimate looking people on the list provided.

I would have a hard time considering any media institution "fair and balanced."

A president whose only legacy is a cooked-up war and a schizophrenic domestic policy*, I can see why Time thought he was irrelevant now. He did make "man of the year before" I think, and then blew it.

Most are in no way influential.

The Queen? Aside from being more German than English she has no power

Kate Moss? All she was, is and will ever be is a crack whore

Rosie is just another fat rich white man with to much time on his hands

But @ not including Bush, he is just Cheney's pawn and so he has no true influence either.

I assume he isn't on there either, so it's the same thing.

There is a difference between powerful and influential.

Were any of his staff included?

Fair and balanced because they don't included Bush's bumbling every year to give someone else a chance in? Seems fair to me.
