Angelina Jolie and Jennifer Aniston have more than a certain Hollywood hunk in common after bagging joint place for most powerful actress.

Officials at the Guinness World Records came to the decision after comparing the earning power of several celebrities and the publicity surrounding them.

Jennifer's love life has been under the microscope since she split from ex-hubby Brad Pitt, who then hooked up with Angelina.

The couple, branded Brangelina, have not been out of the headlines since, with their ever-growing adopted family and the birth of their own daughter Shiloh last year.

There is also talk of a possible Oscar nomination for Angelina for her critically acclaimed role as the wife of murdered journalist Daniel Pearl in A Mighty Heart.

Tom Cruise knocked Johnny Depp off the top spot to regain his crown as most powerful actor, with the help of his recent box office success and the constant coverage of his marriage to Katie Holmes and the birth of their daughter Suri.

Meanwhile, Samuel L Jackson set a world record for the highest grossing actor at the box office, starring in 75 films that have raked in more than ￡3.95 billion globally.
