Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are used to setting the record straight--but now they're holding the record!

The Guinness World Records has named Angelina and Brad the "Most Powerful Actor and Actress in Hollywood" taking the titles from Tom Cruise and Jennifer Aniston.

But the list doesn't stop there! Samuel L. Jackson holds the record as the "Highest Grossing Actor" with a total gross of $7.42 billion over his movie-making career.

And Miley Cyrus can thank her Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: Best of Both Worlds Concert Tour for gaining her the tour title of having the "Highest Grossing Movie of a Music Tour." The tour earned $53.4 million in just two weeks!

And no celebrity list would be complete without Oprah Winfrey. Guinness says Oprah has the "Highest Annual Earnings by a TV Talk Show Host," with $225 million!

  • lol. he never talk about angelina NEVER. I find that interesting too, she likes to brag and talk about him and show him off like he's a throphy its really funny how brad really don't talk about her but does interview and talk about his love for jenn and her x husbad billy bob said she was using him attention, he should no, she did the same thing to him, broke his relationship up, and showed him off to the world. her mother terssa act don't fool me one bit. she might have fooled the idiots, but there are people like me that still sww thru fake pathethic attention seeking angelina

  • I also find it funny how people have short memeories, incase you forgot the attention seeking freak jolie lived to sleep with co workers and break up peoples relationship like how she met engaged billy bob on a movie set broke up his relationship and made him adopt maddox. but billy bob still left her and she trapped pitt the same way. i feel sorry for brad he looks misrable, but he deserve it

    • Yeah, pitt hasn't been looking good lately, but you don't stand infront of God make a commitment to someone and break it. but then what would you expect from a person like angelina who doesn't even respect or belive in God let alone that marriage is scared, its funny the 1st thing she did was make brad give up his faith too, I really pity them, her more, because this isn't the 1st time she's done this brad was just stupid and allowd himself to get conned.

  • I would like to know how Jennifer Anniston got to be named most powerful actress. What great movie did she make? As far as Tom Cruise he thinks he's God.

  • I am more curious on what set of standards are required to hold the "Most Powerful Actor and Actress in Hollywood record? How did they determine this and why is there such a record in place?

  • oh my gosh! maybe we should set up a shrine in our backyards with the barbie dolls in the center of it. then, we can go and worship them daily, hell, twice daily. they are my idols. i love them soooo much. oh if i could be like them. i want to do everything they do. maybe i'll adopt from every country! it would look soooo cool. ooooh! i love brangelina! (i'm hoping you sense the sarcasm; if not, you've probably fallen and there is no hope for you...besides, how does one decide who is the most powerful anyway).

  • Are they serious? Brad Pitt can't act his way out of a paper bag. Ever notice that he sounds EXACTLY the same in Interview With A Vampire, Legends of the Fall, Troy....etc? He may be nice to look at, but the man cannot act!!! As for Angelina, she may be able to act but she's F'n NUTS! I don't even think she's all that pretty....those two certainly don't deserve the money they make!

  • They are just people who go to the bathroom just like everyone else. There is no power at all with that. I'm sure that's what Angelina would say as well.
