Oprah returns to top of Forbes' Celebrity Power List
NEW YORK Oprah Winfrey continues to take over the world. The media mogul is back on top of Forbes annual "Celebrity 100 Power List," which ranks the rich and famous based on earnings and buzz.
Winfrey, who came in third last year, was the top money-maker with an estimated income of $260 million during the past 12 months. She last topped the list in 2005.
"The woman is making history every single year," said Lea Goldman, a Forbes associate editor who oversaw the list. "It's not as if she's sitting on her laurels enjoying the show."
Winfrey's Harpo Productions is a partner on celebrity chef Rachael Ray's popular syndicated daytime talk show, which debuted last September. Golf tycoon Tiger Woods, who pulled in $100 million, ranks second. Madonna, absent from the list last year, is No. 3. The pop star's "Confessions" world tour — the highest-grossing tour by any female artist in history, Goldman said — and her adoption of a baby boy in the African country of Malawi put her back in the spotlight.

Hare traffic controls airport in Italy
MILAN, Italy — wild nares at Milan's Linate airport seem to have only one thing on their mind, and their excessive mating and growing numbers have blocked takeoffs, landings and radar systems.
Officials on Sunday mounted a daylight raid to keep these furry creatures off the runways.
Blowing whistles and waving their arms, some 200 volunteers spooked the hares out of their holes into waiting nets. The animals — 57 hares and four wild rabbits were put in crates and transferred to a wildlife preserve, officials said.
