For the first time ever, EW has chosen an author as their entertainer of the year! That author - who else but JK Rowling. Well done EW. 100 % deserved.Check out the entire article and the other entertainers here."J.K. Rowling is our Entertainer of the Year because she did something very, very hard, and she did it very, very well, thus pleasing hundreds of millions of children and adults very, very much. In an era of videogame consoles, online multiplayer ''environments,'' and tinier-is-better mobisodes, minisodes, and webisodes, she got people to tote around her big, fat old-fashioned printed-on-paper books as if they were the hottest new entertainment devices on the planet. Let's also credit her for one more thing. What she spent the last 17 years creating turned out to be completely original. "

I couldn't agree more with EW's choice for entertainer of the year for 2007. I'm surprised that she hasn't been chosen before and I'm even more surprised that she's the first author to ever have this bestowed upon her.
I'm very much looking forward to what JK does next.
