Sting, Blake Lively, the Koch Brothers Among Time 100

Share

The Time 100 list is out, and it’s full of entertainers, celebrities, and executives from the business. From thoughtful rock stars like Sting and Patti Smith to movie stars Colin Firth and Mark Wahlberg, the list–as usual–also features Oprah Winfrey. It also moves from left to right, with the latter represented by David and Charles Koch. There are more newcomer celebs like Blake Lively and Chris Colfer, as well as comedienne Amy Poehler and pop star Bruno Mars. Facebook is represented by Mark Zuckerberg, but also by the man who produced the movie about him, Scott Rudin. Maybe they’ll seat them at the same table. Justin Bieber, the most overly hyped teen maybe in pop history, is also on the roster, along with someone he might like to meet: Benjamin Netanyahu. There’s President Barack and Michelle Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Unlikely to attend Tuesday’s dinner are Wills and Kate, as they’re getting hitched a few days later. The guest everyone would like to sit next to: Julian Assange. Here’s the full list: http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/completelist/0,29569,2066367,00.html

Showbiz411 is now in its 13th year of providing breaking and exclusive entertainment news. This is an independent site, unlike the many Hollywood trades that are owned by one company. To continue providing news that takes a fresh look at what's going on in movies, music, theater, etc, advertising is our basis. Reader donations would be greatly appreciated, too. They are just another facet of keeping fact based journalism alive.
Thank you
