LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - Jennifer Aniston is the biggest star in Hollywood or anywhere else. At least that's what Forbes magazine says.
The "Friends" star sits atop the magazine's annual "Celebrity 100" list, which ranks the ranks of the famous based on how much money they made in past 12 months and how often they were seen or talked about in the media.
Aniston earned a reported $35 million from "Friends" and her film work, including the hit "Bruce Almighty," and was in the top 40 in three measures of media exposure -- Web hits, TV/radio mentions and press clippings. She also appeared on more magazine covers than anyone else on the list between June 2002 and this month.
She improved her ranking from No. 28 in 2002. Aniston's husband, Brad Pitt, didn't make the list this year.
Her "Friends" co-stars Matthew Perry (No. 25), Lisa Kudrow (No. 30) and Courteney Cox Arquette (No. 41) also made the list.
The rest of Forbes' top 10 are Eminem and Dr. Dre, Tiger Woods, Steven Spielberg (the highest-paid, at a reported $200 million), Jennifer Lopez, Paul McCartney, Ben Affleck, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Hanks and the Rolling Stones.
