Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, & More Make 'Time 100': Read Their Celeb Praises!

Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, & More Make 'Time 100': Read Their Celeb Praises!

The Time 100 list was released early this morning (April 16) and we’ve compiled some highlights from the list for you to enjoy!

Some notable names on the list include Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Reese Witherspoon, Chris Pratt, and more. See Kanye West and Bradley Cooper on the cover of Time 100 if you missed it!

In each feature, one celebrity writes some nice words about the celebrity who has been chosen as one of the 100.

Here are some highlights:

Mariska Hargitay on Time 100′s Taylor Swift: “I’m amazed at how much earned wisdom Taylor threads into her work. She seems tuned in to the greater good, and she embraces�”thoughtfully and authentically�”the chance to contribute to the world. I’m always trying to find the best words to talk to my kids (and myself) about growing up, but you can’t top her beautifully articulated advice. The haters are gonna hate, but, well, shake it off. She illuminates our inner music that lets us dance to our own beat… Also, it doesn’t hurt that she named her cat after me.”

Amy Poehler on Time 100′s Chris Pratt: “Chris Pratt is here to save us�”from aliens, dinosaurs and general boredom. America has decided he is its next big movie star, and I understand why. It’s not because of his broad shoulders and humble roots. It’s not because he looks like the perfect combination of a guy you know mixed with a guy you want to be. It’s because he has that something special… He is a real man in a sea of ciphers, a good father and friend, and one naturally funny dude. Pratt may spend the next few years riding horses or chasing comets, but he can land a joke with a natural ease that most people spend a lifetime trying to achieve.”

Martha Stewart on Time 100′s Kim Kardashian: “Beautiful in an exotic, totally exaggerated way, Kim exudes energy, sexuality, drama, determination, impetuousness and happiness. But she and her famous, entrepreneurial siblings�”shepherded by a savvy, tireless matriarch�”have also expanded the very definition of family. Despite the flamboyance, the self-aggrandizement and the self-promotion (Kim set out to break the Internet by baring her bum in an extraordinary photograph), Kim comes across as an enviable big sister in a clan where everyone seems to love one another. Are they indeed today’s Brady Bunch?”

Mindy Kaling on Time 100′s Reese Witherspoon: “But the reason Reese is on this list is that she is no longer just a talented and famous actress. She is an icon. Yes, she is beautiful, and I would buy any lipstick or bottled water she is selling. Hell, I’d buy cigarettes if her picture were on the pack. But that’s not it (even though I think she could make a lot of money doing that). Reese is an artist, but she is also a hustler, a quality I recognized in her the first time I met her. She’s impatient that Hollywood won’t generate the kind of quality roles she wants to play, so she creates quality roles by creating quality movies. That resourcefulness is what makes her someone I not only admire, but someone who inspires me. And that is influence.”

Tom Ford on Time 100′s Julianne Moore: “Fearless. That is the first word that comes to mind when I think of Julianne Moore. Of course, the words beautiful, elegant, smart, loyal and steadfast can be used to describe her too.”

Taylor Swift on Time 100′s Ina Garten: “As soon as I started watching Ina’s show, I realized why so many people adore her. Her goal is to make things easier for us. Fans love her warmth and generosity. She shows us how to create memories that we’ll treasure for years to come. For that, we will always cherish the merry and magnificent Ina Garten.”
