Nicole Kidman, Mel Gibson and Bono were among the showbiz people in Time
magazine's list of the "World's 100 Most Influential People," released Sunday.
Nicole
Kidman | The magazine listed people in five
different categories: Leaders & Revolutionaries, Builders & Titans,
Scientists & Thinkers, Heroes & Icons and Artists & Entertainers.
Time cited Kidman for being "more daring than any of her contemporaries of
similar box-office clout." Also on the list were "The Lord of the Rings"
filmmaker Peter Jackson, actor Sean Penn, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and
screenwriter Charlie Kaufman.
Mel
Gibson | The Artists & Entertainers list
wasn't limited to actors and filmmakers: "American Idol's" brutally honest judge
Simon Cowell also made the cut. Time said Cowell has "led a rebellion against
the tyranny of self-esteem that is promoted on talk shows and in self-help books
-- the notion that everyone who tries deserves to win."
Reality show creator Mark Burnett also made the list and was highlighted with
an essay by Donald Trump. Trump, called the "The Apprentice" and "Survivor"
producer "a great visionary" and says his "number-one talent is having the right
idea at the right time."
Gibson, who weathered the controversy over his biblical epic "The Passion of
The Christ," was named in the "Heroes & Icons" list, as was
rocker/humanitarian Bono.
