Vastly Different
Vastly different reasons for each selection.

The only one that just makes me shake my head is M Cyrus.

While she shakes everything else.

I concur with the thought of Mandela, he has never been named. Putin made it in '04, Current POTUS '08 & 12, Whistleblowers (Snowden) '02.

I know, right? MiCy- but not LiLo or GaGa.

Surely woulda thought Tebow or that sissy that got bullied in the NFL, or the guy that bullied him would have made it.

Or Coach Biliema.
