“Forbes” magazine released their 2015 list of the world’s most powerful women. The rankings are based on money, media momentum and spheres of influence and impact. German chancellor Angela Merkel tops the list. Hillary Clinton is second. Entertainers on the list include Oprah at number 12, Beyonce is number 21 and Ellen is 50th.

Art went on to say he met George Harrison at a party and George told him “My Paul is to me what your Paul is to you.”  Garfunkel may be willing to put up with the “jerk” because he also said he’s open to a reunion tour. I guess he misses the money HIS Paul helped them both get!
