Although names like Bruno Mars and Oprah Winfrey made the final cut on this year's Time 100 list of the world's most-influential people, among the celebs MTV News spoke to at the ritzy black-tie gala in New York on Tuesday night, all the talk was about Justin Bieber and "Parks and Recreation" funny lady Amy Poehler.

La La Vazquez, with hubby Carmelo Anthony, by her side, said, "Justin Bieber actually loves 'Melo. They're still waiting to have a one-on-one basketball competition so maybe we can make that happen this summer." She continued, "I think it's an honor to be included in such an elite group and be invited to come celebrate. When I heard we got invited, I was like, 'Oh yes, we are going to this event tonight.' "

The Roots' drummer, Questlove, said he totally understands why the Biebs made the list. "I'm excited to see everybody tonight," he said. "I'm very humble to be here. It's too many to mention. I drummed with Bieber before. I think that there might have been a question to why he was included, but it's obvious this is a person that went from YouTube sensation to viral sensation to international superstar — that's gonna be the next level of celebrity."

Leave it to Poehler's "Parks and Rec" co-star Aziz Ansari to write in his own candidate. Asked whether he prefers Bieber or South Korean pop star turned actor Rain, who also made the list, Ansari joked, "I don't know who either of those people are." Adding, "The most influential person to me is probably Waka Flocka Flame. He's on the list, right? I'm pretty sure he was on there."

All jokes aside, Ansari had only love for Poehler. calling her a "very inspirational person; tremendously talented and really a leader in her field."

Poehler's former "Saturday Night Live" co-star Seth Meyers also had tons of love for her. "For me personally, Amy Poehler's the most influential on the list," he said. "I certainly wouldn't be invited to this without Amy Poehler, so that's a big step. Mostly just like providing coattails for me to ride on for years," he joked. "That's pretty key; that influenced me a lot."

About Bieber, Meyers later added: "I quote him a lot. I say 'Baby, baby, baby' a lot more than I used to. I work in a maternity ward in my off-time."

Rachel McAdams Talks Romaticism, Owen Wilson with Elle

Showing off her adorable looks as the magazine's latest cover girl, Rachel McAdams adorns the front page of the June 2011 issue of Elle.

The 32-year-old actress posed for a stunning spread shot by Alexei Hay while opening up to Elle about topics including her relationship experiences, working with Owen Wilson and being a romantic.

Highlights from Rachel's Elle interview are as follows. For more, visit Elle!

On her expectations for relationships: ?You grow up and you assume that everyone is like that, and you quickly realize that they?re not, and then you have those days when you wonder if you?re going to find it for yourself. It?s such a hard thing to find. I think it was more that realization that rocked me.?

On being hesitant to take on certain roles: ?Sometimes I don?t think I?m the best person for the job. That was the case with Morning Glory. Sometimes I think, Really? You see me as this? Just because I don?t see myself that way, does that mean I shouldn?t do it? I tend to go, Is this the right decision? What are the ramifications of doing this part? You can start to overanalyze. But once I make the decision, it?s full steam ahead."

On working with Owen Wilson: ?It?s definitely a different dynamic from the last time we were together. It wasn?t as fun being mean. I love that Woody likes good guys to be good guys and bad guys to be bad guys. Owen seemed to respond really well when I was a really bad guy.?

On her role in Mean Girls: ?With Mean Girls, I originally auditioned for the part that Lindsay Lohan played. I wouldn?t have seen myself playing Regina at all. But when I read the script, I thought, Oh, this part is way more fun; I wonder who will play that.??

On being a romantic: ?I am. When Billie Holiday comes on, I can?t help but be transported?and I?m sure it wasn?t as romantic then at all?but that?s the wonderful part of my job: dressing up and walking down the street in New York or Toronto, pretending I?m in the ?40s.?

On finding inspiration in her parents? marriage: ?[They are] Still together and still in love. I?m very blessed that way. I had a great example of love in front of me, and that?s probably what makes me such a romantic, because I?ve seen it firsthand.?
