Time's 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala - Red Carpet
Wednesday, May 5 2010 |
Elton John and David Furnish attend Time's 100 most influential people in the world gala at Frederick P. Rose Hall, Jazz at Lincoln Center on May 4, 2010 in New York City.
They're perhaps not the first people who would spring to mind, but Elton John, Ashton Kutcher and Taylor Swift have all earned a place on this year's poll of the world's most influential people by Time magazine.
On May 4, 2010 the trio made sure they stepped into the limelight as the publication threw a party in New York ahead of the full publication of the list tomorrow. Country pop singer Swift, 20, entered at number nine, while U.S. actor Kutcher, who's married to Demi Moore, also made it on to the prestigious chart.
Elton celebrated his nod at the event and brought along his civil partner David Furnish. Singing sensation Lady Gaga topped this year's poll, while geeky Glee star Lea Michele made it in at number 13.
Others who feature on the list include Twilight star Robert Pattinson, Ricky Gervais and X Factor supremo Simon Cowell. The annual Time 100 list of 'the people who most affect our world' also includes this year's big Oscar winners Kathryn Bigelow and Sandra Bullock, and musician Prince.
Billy Elliot director Stephen Daldry said Sir Elton is 'a proud, sober, married gay man who got there only after years of pain and unrelenting public scrutiny'.
The full list and related tributes appears in the May 10, 2010 issue of Time, which hits the shops on May 7, 2010.
