Robert Pattinson, the star of the Twlight film franchise, has been named one of the most powerful celebrities in the world after appearing on the Forbes list for the first time. The 24-year-old, who plays the vampire Edward Cullen in the Twilight Saga films, has earned an estimated £11 million in the last year alone. Pattinson has been ranked 50th on the Celebrity 100 Power List, while his US girlfriend and co-star Kristen Stewart is at 66 with £7.95 million. Lady Gaga is the highest newcomer in the Forbes list, based on earnings and global exposure, and has surpassed stars like Madonna (number 10) and U2 (seven) to claim fourth place. She made £41 million in the last year, partly due to an 106-date world tour. Oprah Winfrey reclaimed the top spot as the most powerful celebrity with £208 million after last year's number one Angelina Jolie dropped to 18th position. Despite turmoil in his personal life and his professional setbacks, Tiger Woods is at number five with £69 million earned during the past year. James Cameron, director of the Oscar-winning film Avatar, returns to the list - this time in third place - for the first time since 1999, earning £139 million. Simon Cowell is the highest British earner, jumping 14 places to number 11 with £53 million, following his last season as a judge on American Idol. Other British celebrities on the list include Daniel Radcliffe at 82 with £16.5 million, Kate Moss at 91 with £5.95 million, and David Beckham at 36 with £29.1 million from June 2009 to June 2010. The top 100 earned £3.11 billion collectively during the past year, up from £2.7 billion the previous year. Forbes' Celebrity Power ranking is a measurement of entertainment-related earnings over the past 12 months as well as visibility in print, TV, radio and online.
