we know we're in trouble if judge judy is # 13

forbes ranked the 20 richest women in entertainment. not surprisingly, oprah was #1. judge judy made the list, too, which raises a whole slew of questions, most of which were answered by wikipedia.

it's sad that such low-brow (not that i'm a connoisseur of the high-brow) entertainment is one of the few ways that catapults women into wealth. if it weren't for oprah and martha there'd be no executives or directors or producers or anyone with any real power on this list.

speaking of low brow, britney spears is # 12.
