Last month, I told you all Tyler Perry had been nominated to appear on Time magazine's list of the world's 100 most influential people. Well, with your votes, Perry made the list along with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama and singer Mariah Carey. Announced Thursday, the final cut includes nearly 30 celebrities whose appearance was based on votes at the magazine's Web site. Winfrey was cited alongside fellow "influential" entertainers Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Mia Farrow as “heroes and pioneers” for global goodwill. 
In other Perry news, former Divorce Court Judge Mablean Ephriam and actresses Salli Richardson and Viola Davis have been added to Tyler Perry's Madea Goes To Jail cast. Already cast in the film are Tyler Perry, Keisha Knight Pulliam, Derek Luke and David and Tamela Mann.
