Who wouldn't take their calls? That is the ultimate measure of one's power in Hollywood.

Or at least that's the way The Hollywood Reporter put it when the Tinsel Town trade mag put former President Barack Obama, 58, and former first lady Michelle Obama, 55, at Number 50 out of 100 on its annual list spotlighting Hollywood's most powerful entertainment industry figures.

Not bad for neophyte media moguls, even if they did spend eight years in the White House.
