Vanessa Williams Makes EW’s Top 25 Entertainers of 2007

Always eager to jump on end of year “best of” lists, Entertainment Weekly has named it’s Top 25 Entertainers of the Year.  Ugly Betty’s own Vanessa Williams made the list (as she should!).  She was listed in the “class clowns” section, which I am sure Ms Williams enjoyed – she has proven she is a top-notch comedian.

From EW:

”I think the producers were so strong about me doing this role because they had seen me do other diva roles,” says Ugly Betty star Williams (A Diva’s Christmas Carol, Broadway’s Into the Woods). ”They knew I could handle it.” And not just handle it — spin it on its stiletto heel. As diabolical editrix Wilhelmina Slater, she memorably burst onto the prime-time landscape last year in a masterful scene where her assistant injected her with Botox as she lounged in her office. This season, she’s upped the ante, as Wilhelmina attempts a coup to launch her own magazine, Slater. Williams garnered an Emmy nod in July, proving that those ABC producers are just as cunning as her character.

Also featured on the list were George Clooney, The Sopranos, Angelina Jolie, Carrie Underwood, Miley Cyrus, Amy Winehouse, and many others, J K Rowling as Entertainer of the Year.
