For 2010, Time Magazine’s 100 Most Influential list includes a lot of trendsetters, leaders and thinkers who have been chosen for the impact and innovation they have created in the world.

The list includes a lot of superstars from showbiz, including Pop Icon, Lady Gaga, ousted Tonight Show Host, Conan O’ Brien, Teen sweethearts Robert Pattinson and Taylor Swift, as well as Glee actress Lea Michele. In the world of Politics, President Obama leads the pack.

Other celebrities wrote their testimonies for these chosen individuals, and for Lady Gaga, it was Cyndi Lauper who sort of paid her tribute. She writes:

“I first heard the name Lady Gaga through a mutual friend. He couldn’t stop talking about her. Then I heard her music, and I thought, ‘Wow, I love this kid. When I see somebody like Gaga, I sit back in admiration. I’m inspired to pick up the torch again myself. I did an interview with her once, and she showed up with a sculpture on her head. I thought, ‘How awesome.’ Being around her, I felt like the dust was shaken off of me. I find it very comforting to sit next to somebody and not have to worry that I look like the freak. She isn’t a pop act, she is a performance artist. She herself is the art. She is the sculpture,”

George Lopez, meanwhile, wrote the piece on Conan O’ Brien, saying — “Conan’s tenacity and wit have been an inspiration to me on my own late-night show. I’m happy and proud that we’ll be playing on the same team when he comes to basic cable. Welcome back to TV, Conan. I’ve got a good feeling about this. If there’s anything people love more than a happy ending, it’s a big comeback.” The talk show host is going to have his new show on TBS this September, George Lopez will follow his time slot.

You can get the issue now, it’s out at newsstands.

As she said she will be retiring her daytime talkshow in 2011, Oprah has just announced that it’s not the end of her on TV, as she will be coming up with a new show called “Oprah’s Next Chapter” on her cable channel, OWN. The show will be a one hour nighttime program that will feature a lot of traveling, which is so unlike her daytime format. Some of her celebrity friends will be coming along with her. While the idea is not something new, I think it would be a breath of fresh air for those following Oprah’s show for years.

Oprah says, “”I’m going to take viewers with me, going to take celebrities I want to interview with me.”

It is expected to start airing on the first of January 2011.

Christmas season is just around the corner and people from all around the world are now busy preparing gifts for their loved ones. Some are busy helping charities that will help thousands of families.  Famous celebrities like Lauren Bush, Bryant Gumbel and Pamela Fiori gave their precious time to attend the annual UNICEF snowflake ceremony last Thursday held at the Louis Vuitton in New York. This occasion is one of the most awaited part of many because it’s the start of the gift giving season.

Below is the press release of the event:

New York, NY (November 11, 2009) –The U.S. Fund for UNICEF announced today that UNICEF Ambassador and actress Lucy Liu will light the UNICEF Snowflake at a special ceremony taking place on Thursday, November 19 in front of the Louis Vuitton Maison Fifth Avenue on 57th Street in New York City.

“We are honored to have Lucy light the UNICEF Snowflake and kick off the giving season in New York City,” said Caryl Stern, President and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. “She is a great friend to UNICEF and a dedicated supporter of our mission to reach a day when zero children die from preventable causes.”

The evening’s celebration, which will be telecast live to the Spectacolor CNN billboard in Times Square, will begin at 6:30 PM with a festive recital by Broadway Kids Care, a group of children from current and past Broadway shows who come together to participate in a variety of charitable works. Following their performance, Lucy Liu, Caryl Stern and Daniel Lalonde, President and CEO of Louis Vuitton North America, will take the stage and flip the switch to illuminate the UNICEF Snowflake. Immediately following the ceremony Louis Vuitton, proud sponsor of the UNICEF Snowflake lighting this year, will host a reception to celebrate the lighting in their flagship store on 5th Avenue.

“As a native New Yorker I always look forward to seeing the UNICEF Snowflake light up Fifth Avenue,” said actress and UNICEF Ambassador Lucy Liu. “It reminds me that every day, there are 24,000 children worldwide dying from preventable causes. I am especially proud to support UNICEF and their commitment to change that number to zero.”
Appointed a UNICEF Ambassador in 2004, Liu has used her influence as a force for the survival, protection and development of children worldwide. She has traveled to Lesotho, Pakistan, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Cote d’Ivoire and Peru to witness UNICEF’s life saving work UNICEF and to advocate on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable children.

“Louis Vuitton is honored to partner with such an influential global organization as UNICEF,” said Daniel Lalonde, President & CEO of Louis Vuitton North America. “With our flagship store on the corner of Fifth Avenue and 57th street we are proud to be a partner in this important New York City holiday tradition.”

This year marks the 25th anniversary of the Snowflake. Donated by the Stonbely Family Foundation in 2002, the UNICEF Snowflake has become an iconic fixture in New York City during the holiday season, hanging high above the intersection of 5th Avenue and 57th Street. It was handcrafted by German lighting designer Ingo Maurer and is adorned with 16,000 Baccarat crystal prisms. At 23 feet in diameter, over 28 feet in height and weighing 3,300 pounds, the UNICEF Snowflake is the largest outdoor chandelier of its kind. The UNICEF Snowflake ceremony is open to the public and will be illuminated for the entire holiday season.

The ceremony highlights the City of Beverly Hills’ annual holiday event and the season of giving.

“The UNICEF Snowflake is a special symbol for the world’s most vulnerable children,” said Caryl Stern, President and Chief Executive Officer of the U.S. Fund for UNICEF. “Every day 24,000 children die of preventable causes. These iconic snowflakes—at 57th Street and Fifth Avenue in New York and on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills—hang as a reminder of UNICEF’s commitment to reach a day when zero children die from preventable causes.”
Festivities will begin at 3:00pm with the official lighting at 7:00 PM. Visitors to this famed dream drive will enjoy free entertainment – from balloon artists to jugglers, caricature artists to musicians. The streets are ripe with photo opportunities as well, with striking new holiday décor, lights and banners throughout the Golden Triangle and complimentary pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus.

“Beverly Hills is proud to once again host this spectacular holiday kick-off, launching a season of fun for the whole family” said Beverly Hills Mayor Nancy Krasne. “It is also our privilege, through our partnership with UNICEF, to help highlight all the outstanding work they do to relieve the poverty and suffering of children around the world.”
