Oprah, And Beyonce Make Forbes Most Powerful Women List

According to New York Daily News, Forbes Magazine has released its annual list of 100 most powerful women, and apparently the celebrity grip on society has loosened a bit.
While innovators and world leaders like Sheryl Sandberg and Michelle Obama crowd the Top 10, two of entertainment's most powerful women, Beyoncé and Oprah Winfrey, make it into the Top 20.
