She was followed closely by Liam Payne, with a score of 97, while Katy Perry, Kim Kardashian, Demi Lovato and Donald Trump all tied with 96 points. Justin Bieber, Barack Obama, soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Liam’s One Direction bandmate Niall Horan also made the list.

MEL B TEASES CELEBRITY GUESTS ON SPICE GIRLS TOUR: Now that the Spice Girls have announced that that they’re reuniting for a tour without Posh Spice, Victoria Beckham, would the girl group consider filling her stilettos with some guest performers? It could happen, says Scary Spice Mel B. Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Mel said, “I’m not just gonna say, ‘Yes, of course, it can happen!’ I’d have to check in with the other girls first.” Mel added, “I’m the one [that’s] always thinking about stuff like that, always. And I’m the first one to say, ‘Let’s do this,’ and we’ll introduce Taylor Swift on one song or Adele or Katy Perry.’ I think that’s a great idea ’cause at the end of the day, it has to be a celebration.”
