Not so long ago, a movie studio head honcho made headlines for notoriously saying that he wouldn't greenlight anymore pictures where a woman is the top star, because women can't carry a picture all on their own.

Not so fast!

Women are getting it done all over the place this summer. This really is the year of the woman in entertainment. First, the "Sex and the City" movie does way more business than anyone anticipated.

Angelina Jolie's "Wanted" does huge ticket sales despite the actress being MIA for the press tours and premieres as she awaits the birth of her twins.

Author Stephanie Meyer is primed to become the next J.K. Rowling with the anticipation leading up to the last installment in her vampire book series, which is now being made into a set of movies starring Oscar winner Anna Paquin.

But that's not all! Katy Perry's first album just debuted and her hit single "I Kissed a Girl" has been #1 on the charts for a full three weeks now, hanging in there with other big female stars like Mariah Carey and Madonna who have had big summers of their own.

Movies, music, books – the women have it covered in the entertainment industry. Ladies, we salute you!
