Time Magazine’s annual Time 100, or the Most Influential People in the World issue, is out this week. Per usual, the Time 100 is broken down into five categories: the Titans (represented with a Kanye West cover), the Leaders (Jorge Ramos cover), the Pioneers (Misty Copeland cover), the Artists (Bradley Cooper cover) and the Icons (featuring a cover with the Notorious RBG, Ruth Bader Ginsberg). You can see Time Magazine’s Time 100 package here – they always go all out, and they always get friends/admirers to write about the featured people.

This year’s Time 100 includes the above people, obviously, plus Amy Schumer, Hillary Clinton, Pope Francis, Kim Kardashian, Laverne Cox, Lorne Michaels, Ina Garten, Reese Witherspoon, Emma Watson, Samantha Power, Alexander Wang, Lee Daniels and more. So… Time has gone full KIMYE. They gave Kanye his own cover – plus Elon Musk wrote about Kanye’s influence – and they included Kim on the list, with a write-up from Martha Stewart (of all people). How does that make you feel about Time?

Personally, I hate the fact that Bradley Cooper was chosen as the face of The Artists. Seriously? On a list of artists that includes Alexander Wang, Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Chris Pratt, Kevin Hart, Julianne Moore and John Oliver? With that kind of list of artists, you’re going to put BRADLEY COOPER on the cover? But my disgust with B-Coop’s ascent has been well-documented. I just don’t get how he keeps getting Oscar nominations for playing the same character time after time.
