"Beyoncé was named Forbes' most powerful celebrity of the year in a list unveiled Monday, snatching the top spot from Oprah Winfrey and joining six more African Americans in the top 10 of the magazine's Celebrity 100.

The singer earns an estimated $115m per year, making $2.4m per stop on the massive On the Run tour. Her husband Jay-Z is part of the same tour and also made the top 10, earning an estimated $60m per year.

It was a good year for minorities on the list -- seven of the top eight most powerful celebrities, according to Forbes, are black; one, comedian Ellen DeGeneres, is gay. The magazine ranked the celebrities in order of their wealth and influence, measured by media appearances.

The top 10 most powerful celebrities, in order, are: Beyoncé, LeBron James, Dr Dre, Oprah Winfrey, DeGeneres, Jay-Z, Floyd Mayweather, Rihanna, Katy Perry and Robert Downey Jr."* The Young Turks hosts Cenk Uygur and Ana Kasparian break it down.

The Young Turks (Winner - Best Political Podcast & Best Political News Site of 2009) were the first original talk show on Sirius satellite radio and the first live, daily webcast on the internet. But that is not the revolution.

We are a rare show that combines all of the news that people care about in one place. We are not afraid to talk about politics and entertainment and sports and pop culture. But that is not the revolution either.

The real revolution is in daring to be honest with people. We don't patronize our viewers or lie to them. We have real conversations and deliver the news honestly.
