THE GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:

August 8, 2001

 

by Steve Sullivan

 

Catherine Zeta Jones earns her third Number One ranking in the Glamour Girls Hot 100 thanks to the box office success of  “America’s Sweethearts” and her strength at magazine newsstands.  Angelina Jolie didn’t relinquish the top spot without a fight; her unrivaled number of current magazine covers and a second film in theaters (“Original Sin”) made it a close contest.  “Sweethearts” co-star Julia Roberts is #3, followed by troubled diva Mariah Carey—now resting in a New York hospital following her “emotional and physical breakdown”—at #4.

 

A sensational cover feature in Stuff magazine enables Jennifer Lopez to move back up a position to #5.  Halle Berry, Pamela Anderson, and Janet Jackson precede two Top Ten newcomers: #9 Estella Warren (featured in the smash “Planet of the Apes”) and #10 Reese Witherspoon (star of “Legally Blonde”).  With Destiny’s Child hitting #1 in Billboard with “Bootylicious,” Beyonce Knowles moves up five spots to #13 and has a chance to return to the Top Ten.  Jessica Simpson’s pop chart success boosts her to a personal-best #17 ranking.

 

The spectacular box office debut of “Rush Hour 2” is responsible for Zhang Ziyi‘s big move from #46 to #22 (and the debut of her castmate Roselyn Sanchez at #53). “Planet of the Apes” leading lady Helena Bonham Carter catapults 35 positions to #27 with the Tim Burton flick’s big numbers, and another “Apes” beauty, Lisa Marie, moves up to #40.  Just before the premiere of “American Pie 2,” Shannon Elizabeth surges to #36.

 

Pop music bombshells Aaliyah (#28), Mandy Moore (#29), and Willa Ford (#33) are all strong movers on the Hot 100.  The stars of the September Playboy, “Survivor” cover girl Jerri Manthey (#56) and Playmate Dalene Kurtis (#57), are among the week’s highest debuts.  And Doritos babe Ali Landry makes a vigorous return to the chart at #59 with a hot new cover layout in Razor magazine.

 

And now, the Hot 100 for August 8, 2001.   The numbers on the far left for each gal are her peak chart position to date; for those who have achieved the #1 position, the number of biweekly surveys on which she ranked #1 (in parentheses; for example, Jennifer Lopez has been #1 on seven surveys, representing 14 weeks); and total weeks on the Hot 100 (this is our 23rd survey, each covering two weeks, or 46 weeks in all), followed by her last three rankings, from oldest to most recent.  An explanation of how the charts are compiled can be seen at the bottom of the survey.   I welcome any comments or suggestions sent to: stevesul.

#1 (3), 46 wks  )  1.CATHERINE ZETA JONES: “America’s Sweethearts” has earned a solid $75 million to date, with the Welsh goddess quite convincing as a bitchy Hollywood superstar. The August U.S. edition of Marie Claire offers a lovely cover feature, but can’t hold a candle to the magazine’s July French edition, which treats us to a semi-topless cover plus lingerie pin-ups inside.  Catherine also has 4 pages in the Aug. 13 Us, and shared the July 20 Entertainment Weekly cover with co-star Julia Roberts; Herb Ritts’ cover and 7-page pictorial on Ms. Jones in the July issue of Vogue was another breathtaking tribute to the woman honored as the cover girl of the People “50 Most Beautiful People” issue.  (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #6)   Tribute site: http://www.gla.ac.uk/Clubs/WebSoc/~9404943w/zeta/main.html.

 

#1 (2), 44 wks  (2) (1) (1)  2.ANGELINA JOLIE: “Original Sin” is just a routine potboiler and had a poor $6.4 million box office debut, but Angelina turns in an overwhelmingly sensual performance, doffing her duds for three topless scenes (two bedroom sequences and once bathing with Antonio Banderas).  Ms. Jolie was born to play “Lara Croft, Tomb Raider,” battling adversaries in slinky, form-fitting garb; it’s earned approximately $130 million, and she’s signed for two sequels.  Hot on the Internet, she reached #4 on the Lycos Top 50 measuring Net searches.  Angelina is the subject of cover stories in the August issues of Empire, Total Film, Dream Watch, and Film Review, the July British Esquire, and the July Marie Claire (at her most alluring).   (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #16)   Tribute site:

#1 (1), 46 wks  )  3.JULIA ROBERTS: Julia’s magic touch at the box office has continued with “America’s Sweethearts,” despite lukewarm reviews. The latest confirmation of the “Erin Brockovitch” Oscar winner’s extraordinary status was the cover of the July 9 Time proclaiming her as the Queen of Hollywood; she also shared the “Sweethearts” cover of the July 20 Entertainment Weekly.  Other current covers, however, document her breakup with heartthrob Benjamin Bratt (July 16 issues of People and Us). The pretty woman’s other recent magazine covers include the August Good Housekeeping.   For a record-tying sixth time, she was named one of People’s “50 Most Beautiful.”  (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #7)   Fan site: http://www2.netdoor.com/~cplowe/julia.htm.

 

#4, 35 wks  )  4.MARIAH CAREY: What should be a moment of triumph has become a troubled time for the superstar; just as her new single “Loverboy” (with its sex-bomb, scantily-clad video) shot all the way from #60 to #2 in Billboard, and a few weeks before the release of her starring film debut in “Glitter,” Mariah lies in a New York hospital recovering from a psychological breakdown.  Shortly before her collapse, Mariah made a startling appearance on MTV’s “Total Request Live,” stripping off her T-shirt to reveal a tight tank top and skimpy shorts.  Her scintillating  layout in the August Movieline features a cover in mostly pulled-down nightie, and one inside pose in black miniskirt with topd to reveal most of her breasts. In light of its star’s difficulties, the premiere of “Glitter” has been pushed back three weeks to Sept. 21. She also graces the covers of the Aug. 13 Us (on her breakdown), the August Latina, and the July Elle.  (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #21)   Link to: www.mcarey.com.

 

#1 (7), 46 wks  )  5.JENNIFER LOPEZ: Stuff magazine reportedly paid the Latina bombshell over $100,000 for a cover layout in its September issue, and the publication seems to have gotten its money’s worth: her semi-topless cover and steamy 14-page feature is one of Jennifer’s hottest ever.  Her album “J. Lo” is still selling briskly; current single “I’m Real”—amidst controversy over its inflammatory lyrics—has reached #12.  She’s also on the cover of the July Practical Photography.  The June FHM ranked her as the #1 sexiest gal on the planet.  (Jennifer was the #1 Glamour Girl of 2000.)   Link to: www.jenniferlopez.com.

 

#1 (1), 46 wks  (1) (2) (3)  6.HALLE BERRY: The over-the-top thriller “Swordfish” has earned $69 million to date, and a major reason is the screen-filling beauty of Halle as bad guy John Travolta’s right-hand woman—including her first movie topless scene (just 10 seconds, but it lingers in the memory) and another sequence in bra & panties.  She’s at her ravishing best in the Summer issue of Ocean Drive (great cover & 2 pages), and the July Glamour.  (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #8)  Link to:

#1 (2), 46 wks  )  7.PAMELA ANDERSON:  Pam-demonium struck magazine newsstands with Pammy’s nude return to Playboy in the July issue’s cover, poster, and 12-page layout—her eighth Playboy cover, a record unlikely to ever be equaled; the same cover feature appears in the magazine’s July German edition.  “V.I.P.” has brilliantly recast Pam’s image, showing off both her abundant pulchritude and gift for goofy fun. British Maxim ranked Pam as the #2 babe of all time.  She also graces the cover of the summer Animal Fair (on Pam & her pets), and continues to rank second among female stars only to Britney in Lycos Internet popularity.   (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #4; she was #1 in 1994, 1996, and 1999.)   Link to: http://www.pamwatch.com.

 

#1 (1), 33 wks  )  8.JANET JACKSON: Janet’s irresistible `nice-package’ single “All for You” held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks as the ninth chart-topping smash of her remarkable career, with her erotically-charged new album of the same title also hitting #1; the followup single, “Someone to Call My Lover,” is in the Top 20. Ms. Jackson’s recent magazine covers include the current issue of Rap-Up, the August issues of Black Men and Today’s Black Woman (two related magazines using the same superb cleavage cover), and the August Upscale.  (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #45)  Fan site: http://www.angelfire.com/az/assaad/janet.htm.

 

#9, 32 wks  )  9.ESTELLA WARREN: Tim Burton’s new big-budget version of “Planet of the Apes” has earned over $120 million through its second weekend with Estella playing a captured human; it’s not much of an acting challenge, but she looks ravishing in skimpy animal skins. She has a sexy cover feature in the August issue of Talk magazine and a revealing 2-page pose in the August British GQ. Celebrity Sleuth ranked the curvaceous Canadian as the #1 babe of the year.  (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #58)   Fan site: http://www.estellaweb.com/

 

#10, 7 wks  )  10.REESE WITHERSPOON: Reese’s effervescent, color-coordinated sparkle is the key ingredient that has made her comedy “Legally Blonde” a career-boosting smash (over $71 million to date); she’s now being discussed to possibly star as sexy detective Honey West.   She’s on the covers of the Sept. Teen magazine, August Premiere (on the cover as Goldilocks and inside as Lady Godiva), the August Cosmo Girl, and a glamorous pose atop the July Cosmopolitan.  (2000 ranking: #309)   Photo gallery: http://www.thephotogallery.net/reese_witherspoon/

 

 

#1 (2), 46 wks  (11) (11) (10)  11.BRITNEY SPEARS: The teen vixen’s image is currently all over the nation’s convenience stores (in nearly life-size stand-up ads and on drinking glasses) as part of her lucrative Pepsi ad campaign.  After wearing a skintight ensemble to officially start a NASCAR race in Florida, Britney caused a stir at a press event promoting her upcoming November HBO special, clad in a tiny purple miniskirt. She’s finished shooting her first movie, “What Are Friends For?,” in which she strips to bra & panties for a love scene.  The 19-year-old’s current magazine covers include the August Arena (with 10 pages), Aug. 6 Forbes (for a shoe-design feature) and the August Harpers Bazaar.

#3, 46 wks  )  12.JAIME BERGMAN: Angel loves B.J.: David  Boreanaz, star of the WB’s “Angel,” proposed to  Jaime (who accepted) on a California mountaintop.  The FX network’s “Son of the Beach,” with Jaime as the abundantly endowed B.J., wrapped up its second season July 16 with an episode featuring extended snuggling between Jaime and former Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt.  Miss January 1999 has 6 pages nude in the June Spanish edition of Playboy, and 5 pages (in black bra & slacks) in the August Edge.  (2000 Glamour Girl  ranking: #14)  Link to: www.jaimebergman.com.

She & the girls are on the covers of the September Seventeen and the August issues of British Esquire, Interview, and Teen Magazine.  The current issue of Rap-Up ranks her as the #1 sexiest woman in R&B and rap.

#9, 46 wks  )  15.KIRSTEN DUNST: Although its box office has been mediocre ($16 million), Kirsten turns in one of her finest performances as a screwed-up teenager in the high school sex & love drama “Crazy/Beautiful”; sadly for us, the nude scene she had shot for the film was deleted at her request, but the love scene is still steamy.  Just turned 19 on April 30, the pert teenager had an appealing cover & 5 pages in the June-July Detour, and the May Maxim ranked her as the year’s #2 babe.

How the Glamour Girls Hot 100 Is Compiled

Glamour girls earn points for each biweekly chart in the following categories:

1)     Movies: The current Top 60 at the box office; films that recently left theaters; and pictures scheduled for release in the coming weeks.  Note that a glamorous role in a mid-level film can earn more points than a bland role in a bigger hit.  Also, critical acclaim can earn the same credit as box office dollars.

2)     Magazines: Approximately 150 U.S. and international publications are included in each survey.  Magazines on newsstands during the survey period count most heavily; recent magazines of the previous month or two count at reduced value.  Covers earn more points than inside features; top-level magazines (Playboy, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, etc.) are accorded higher point totals than others; nude or semi-nude layouts get extra credit.  Newspapers (most notably USA Today) and pin-up calendars are also included in this category.

3)     TV: What’s on the tube during the two-week survey period, including not only series but movies airing on the networks and cable plus appearances on late-night talk shows; Nielsen ratings and Emmy/Golden Globe awards also taken into consideration.

4)     Internet: The major factors in this category are the Lycos Top 50, a weekly chart measuring the most-searched items through the Lycos search engine (including many glamour girls); Yahoo’s 100 most popular women based on total websites, Yahoo clubs, and auction items; and the Bomis Report rankings of models, porn stars, and others with the most website hits. Selected Web sites are also included, most notably Gateway to Eden, the Playboy Cyber Club, Mystique, IGN for Men, Ask Men.com, Famous Centerfolds, Danni’s Hard Drive, Mac & Bumble, Daily Hotty, and others. 

5)     Music: The Billboard singles and album charts; MTV and VH-1 music video rankings as published in Billboard; European and international charts.  Grammy Awards and other music industry honors are credited here.

6)     Home Video: The video sales, video rentals, and DVD sales charts as reported in Billboard and Entertainment Weekly.  This category carries about half the weight of the above “Big Five.”

7)     Sports: Glamorous gals who earn athletic achievements during the survey period.

8)     Other: Broadway and off-Broadway theater; books.

9)     Beauty and Sex Appeal: Finally, my personal evaluations of the ladies, based on their recent media appearances.  Women who do not earn significant points in the above 8 categories aren’t eligible here.
