So not only did Zac Efron make it on the list of People magazines most beautiful, he also made it on Time's most Influential People list!  Geez, for what?  Looking pretty and dancing?  Is that influential?  I'm just saying! 

Anywho, yes, Time magazine has come out with their annual list of the world’s most influential people, which not only included Zac, but, Sarah Palin, Tina Fey, and Penelope Cruz to name a few!

Time says the list has on it:  “leaders, thinkers, artists, titans, and icons who shape our thinking.”

The movie critic at time, Richard Corliss, states why Zac Efron made the list: “Here’s why we chose Zac Efron. We all know he’s a movie star….but this one-man boy band has the ambition and the skills to be a great movie actor.” (well, we'll see about that!) 

Time editor said Tina Fey made the list because she's smart and funny.  I couldn't agree more!  Love Tina!

Sara Palin was on the list as well and Time put her there for being the most energetic during the 2008 Presidential race, as well as the most polarizing figure. The magazine says, “We feel that over the next several years, she’s going to be a major player in the Republican party.”

Jonas Bros and Kate Winslet also were on the list.  To see the complete list, go to the Time link right here:
