I feel the same way as Alexandra, Lou. I've never heard "The big cheese" used in a mean way.
It's like saying "The head honcho" kind of.
It's not usually something you would say about a famous person, unless they are in charge of something in particular. If Britney Spears was in charge of organizing a charity event and you wanted to become involved, someone might say "You have to talk to Britney, she's the big cheese"
