Rosie tops list of influential celebrities
NEW YORK—Katie Holmes, Rosie O'Donnell and Anna Nicole Smith's baby daughter, Dannielynn, are among the names on OK! magazine's list of "most influential" celebrities.
The list of 19 famous faces, which appeared in the magazine's latest issue, on newsstands July 6, was separated by editors into six categories: beauty queens, style setters, entertainers, newsmakers, survivors and body shapers.
O'Donnell, who brought ratings and controversy during her tumultuous tenure on ABC's "The View," made the list of newsmakers, as did Hollywood super-couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie and "Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight. Knight announced he was gay after it surfaced that Isaiah Washington had used an anti-gay slur against him during an on-set clash with a co-star.
The youngest celebrity on the list: 10-month-old Dannielynn Hope, who was recognized as a survivor because she has been "at the center of Hollywood's most controversial tragedies," the magazine said. Her mother, Anna Nicole Smith, died in Florida in February.
