Times Top 100 People

Time came out with the top 100 most influential people in the world this week, and on it is two of my favorite celebrities right now. The list, which contains "They are the people who inspire us, entertain us, challenge us and change our world. Meet the breakouts, pioneers, moguls, leaders and icons who make up this year's TIME 100" for 2012, is one of the highest honors in the world. The list is strange though, comparing Rihanna to the likes of Hilary Clinton, and Anonymous to Matt Lauer. I was most interested though, in two the entires, Tim Tebow and Chelsea Handler. Both of these people inspire me, personally. Tebow and Handler (both New Jersey Residents) are easy to connect with, and very genuine. Neither of them get swept up in the idea of celebrity. They worked hard for their goals, and they earned what they have. 


Chelsea Handler has been one of my biggest influences when it comes to taking on life. She has a "eff you" attitude, and isn't afraid to say it. Handler will tell you exactly what's on her mind, and that's what makes her so great. She went Kathy Griffin describes her as "Still a trash-talking girl from New Jersey," which is something I totally relate to. Chelsea really followed her dreams, and worked for what she wanted. She is the author of four books, and three best sellers, she's the creator of a two TV shows and the host of a very popular television show on E! network. Chelsea finds something she wants to do, and does it, which makes her a real star. One downside, though, is that Chelsea dropped out of college when she was nineteen. I'm not a fan of dropping out, as everyone should have something to fall back on. In Chelsea's case though, it all works out. 

Tim Tebow, who was recently traded to the New York Jets, is also on the list for Time Top 100. He is described simply as "Quarterback" under his job description. Tebow, who's claim to fame is arguably the "Tebow Time" move, is described as Fierce, competitive, and trustworthy by Jeremy Lin, who is also on the list. Tebow's dedication to his faith and devotion to his team really sets him apart from other  players. He also really cares; he makes a point to not get involved in media more than he already is. Tebow uses what celebrity he has to help people out. A couple just donated 100,000 dollars to spend a day with him. Tebow's positive influence on the world is what we need. 


These are just two of the awesome celebrities on 2012 TIME 100. Also there is actress Kristen Wiig, Comedian Louis CK, Producer Harry Weinstein, and President of Nigeria, Goodluck Jonathan.
