Stephenie on the Forbes List of the World's Most Powerful Celebrities

Forbes has released a list of the top 100 World's Most Powerful Celebrities.

Stephenie Meyer is # #26 Stephenie - Congrats Stephenie, but I hope the last part of the last sentence isn't true!

Thanks to the success of Meyer's Twilight series, 2008 became the year of the vampire. The low-profile author sold 29 million books last year, releasing two new novels (Breaking Dawn and The Host) and selling hoards of paperbacks of what have become instant classics (Twilight, Eclipse and New Moon). Last November, gothy fans camped out to catch the first film based on the series; Twilight grossed $70 million opening weekend. A partial rough draft of the fifth Twilight book leaked online last August; Meyer published the full draft on her Web site and announced the book wouldn't be published.

    How can we trust a blurb which describes Stephanie Meyer's legion of intelligent, literate, erudite fans as "gothy"?! Really! This is just reporting second-hand news in a sound bite.

    This takes nothing away from the honor due to Ms. Meyer, however! Congratulations, Stephanie!
