Time Magazine unveiled its 11th annual collection of the 100 most influential people in the world on Thursday, with a list comprised primarily of artists, politicians and business people.

Each person selected had a few paragraphs about their influence written by recognizable names, including US president Barack Obama, who wrote about Pope Francis, IMF managing director Christine Lagarde, who who wrote about Federal Reserve chair Janet Yellen, and actor Lupita Nyong’o, who wrote about director Steve McQueen.

“He’s always in search of the truthful moment that will give the audience real human access to difficult issues,” Nyong’o said of McQueen. “He’s a visionary in that way.”

 Beyoncé graces the cover of the 2014 Time 100 issue. “Beyoncé doesn’t just sit at the table,” said Facebook COO and Lean In author Sheryl Sandberg. “She builds a better one.”

SNEAK PEEK OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE LIST: LUPITA NYONG'O, GABRIELLE UNION, KERRY WASHINGTON, PINK & MORE

Though she grew up thinking that "light skin and flowing, straight hair" made women desirable, World's Most Beautiful Woman Nyong'o, 31, tells PEOPLE that her mother "always said I was beautiful. And I finally believed her at some point." The Oscar winner, who's now a face of Lancôme Paris, is excited for this honor in part because of "all the girls who would see me … and feel a little more seen."

GABRIELLE UNION 

This 41-year-old stunner – who drinks one gallon of water every day to keep her skin hydrated – doesn't just have beauty idols like Janet Jackson and fellow honoree Kerry Washington; she actually knows them. "I'm more about inner beauty," she told Essence, "so most of my beauty icons are people … I can confirm are nice, and also happen to be beautiful."

KERRY WASHINGTON Not only gorgeous, Washington, 37, is also ageless (seriously, she doesn't look a day over Save the Last Dance). But she demurs such compliments. "The 'imperfections' are actually the gift," she told Doobop.com. "The reality is we all have nerves and moments of insecurity … But if I said to myself that I'm only going to show up, or speak or be visible when I'm perfect, I would never get out of bed."

MINDY KALINGThis beauty has brains, too, in the form of a Dartmouth degree, a writing credit on her hit show The Mindy Project and a New York Times best-selling book. So how does she juggle it all and still look great? By catching plenty of Zs. "I have the sleep patterns of a 12-year-old boy, so I could sleep until 2 in the afternoon," the 34-year-old recently told PEOPLE. 

"Pampering for me is sleeping."

PINK This CoverGirl, 34, has never been one to follow conventional beauty "rules" – and that's just fine. "Beautiful has never been my goal," she told Redbook. "Joy is my goal – to feel healthy and strong and powerful and useful and engaged and intelligent and in love. It's about joy. And there's such joy now."

STACY KEIBLER 

For mom-to-be Keibler, 34, looking good starts on the inside. "I believe you are what you eat," she told NewBeauty, adding that she centers her diet on organic fruits and vegetables, drinks water and meditates daily. "I really try to focus on keeping my body, my mind and soul all in balance."

BAD NEWS CHRIS BROWN ASSAULT TRAIL DELAYED FOR MONTHS

Karma is really visiting this man as eats a big slice of humble pie. More bad news for Chris Brown. The R&B singer’s assault trial has been put on hold for months.

Brown’s trial had been set to start Wednesday, but was delayed after prosecutors declined to grant immunity to his bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, reports the AP.

Hollosy was convicted Monday of assault. He had been expected to testify in Brown’s trial and say that he hit 20-year-old Parker Adams outside D.C.’s W Hotel in October.

Hollosy, who would be a key witness in Brown’s case, plans to appeal.

Prosecutors decided not to grant Hollosy immunity because he refused to meet with them to discuss his testimony following his conviction.

On Wednesday, D.C. Superior Court Judge A. Franklin Burgess Jr. scheduled a status hearing for Brown’s case for June 25, the same day Hollosy is scheduled to be sentenced.

Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos said the delay could cost another six months, while prosecutors claim it could take a year. No new trial date for Brown has been set.

“I think all of this is much ado about nothing and frankly I look forward to being able to try this at some point,” said Geragos.

Brown will now be transported back to California by U.S. Marshals Service.

OSCAR WINNER LUPITA NYONG'O CROWNED PEOPLE MAGAZINE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN

Does not get any better then this...Lupita Nyong'o Crowned People Magazine's Most Beautiful Woman In The World. The magazine made the announcement on Wednesday's Today Show with the actress winning the title that was last year held by Gwyneth Paltrow.

Starring on the cover of the new issue of the mag, Lupita gushes of hearing the news: "It was exciting and just a major, major compliment. I was happy for all the girls who would see me on [it] and feel a little more seen".

Lupita is certainly deserving of the title, which caps off an incredible few months for the actress.

A year ago no one had heard of the Mexican-born Kenyan star. It was her debut acting role in Steve McQueen's 12 Years a Slave that put her firmly on the map, with her casting coming  just before she graduated from Yale. Talk about beauty and brains.

The role of Patsey led to critical acclaim and an Academy Award for the actress, who beat out the likes of Jennifer Lawrence at the 2014 Oscars last month.

It's not just her acting plaudits that have sky rocketed Lupita's fame though. She's become a fashion darling thanks to her string of red carpet couture gowns during awards season. 

She's already been snapped up by Miu Miu as a poster girl and has been named as the new face of Lancôme, while she's Prada's new best friend after rocking the fashion house's designs on the red carpet.

CHRIS BROWN BODYGUARD CONVICTED OF ASSAULT ..WHILE HIS TRAIL IS DELAYED

These fans ain't loyal....On Monday, D.C. Superior Court Judge Patricia Wynn convicted Christopher Hollosy of a single count of misdemeanor assault. He is scheduled to be sentenced on June 25.

Chris Brown’s bodyguard has been found guilty of assault following a two-day trial.

Brown’s trial has been delayed while prosecutors decide whether to grant immunity to Hollosy so that he could testify in Brown’s trial.

Both men were arrested in October after 20-year-old Parker Adams said Brown and Hollosy punched him outside the W Hotel after he allegedly tried to get on Brown’s tour bus.

Brown will receive probation in D.C. if found guilty. The verdict will also affect whether the singer will remain jailed in California, where he is on probation for beating Rihanna.

“I don’t think that there’s any doubt Chris Brown is not guilty,” Brown’s attorney Mark Geragos told reporters.

Geragos expects Brown’s trial to last no more than two days.
