Mariah Carey also one of Time's most influential

Speaking of Mariah Carey, Mimi has made it onto Time's list of the world's 100 Most Influential People, because she can command a 17-carat ring from a guy who was in Drumline, apparently. Joining Carey are Miley Cyrus, Robert Downey Jr., Herbie Hancock, directors Joel and Ethan Coen, Bruce Springsteen, Mariah Carey, George Clooney, Tyler Perry, Brangelina, Oprah Winfrey and Chris Rock.

Stevie Wonder writes the profile on Mariah, saying he's rewriting a song for her that's going to be a tribute to his mother. That's pretty cool. Of course, what does it say when Mimi is sharing a list with the likes of the Dalai Lama and Rupert Murdoch?
