Willie Colón on top 100 Hispanics list

Bronx-born Willie Colón eclipses presidents, archbishops and CEOs on a new list of the world's top Hispanics.

J. Lo appears on the cover of People en Español, in which she's featured as one of the "100 Most Influential Hispanics" in the issue out Friday.

Willie  and J. Lo weren't the only New Yorkers to make the cut in People. Mets' general manager Omar Minaya scored a spot, along with musician Johnny Pacheco and  former state health commissioner Antonia Novello, MTV president Christina Norman, and Jose Fernandez, president of the Bodega Owners Association.

Other celebrities named by the magazine include Antonio Banderas, Carlos Santana, Eva Longoria, Gloria Estefan, Shakira, Ricky Martin and Julio Iglesias.

And world leaders like Venezuelan president Hugo Chavez and archbishop of San Antonio Jose Gomez appear alongside boxer Oscar de la Hoya and race car driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

But the biggest surprise may be ailing Cuban leader Fidel Castro, who was deemed influential even though he transferred responsibilities to his younger brother, Raul, last July in order to undergo surgery.
