THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
December
12, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
For the first time since the Hot 100 began 15 months ago, the Number One Glamour Girl has defended her position against all challengers for four consecutive biweekly surveys. Britney Spears achieves this milestone with her latest #1 pop album, HBO special, magazine covers, and unsurpassed Internet status. Her primary rival as 2001’s hottest babe, Jennifer Lopez, is right behind at #2 with her own big record sales, NBC special, and upcoming tour with the USO. #3 Gena Lee Nolin actually grabbed one week at #1 in last week’s unpublished chart thanks to her Playboy cover. Halle Berry makes an impressive move to #4 as she wins Best Actress honors from the National Board of Review for her performance in the upcoming “Monster’s Ball,” and with her sizzling Movieline cover. Julia Roberts is also red-hot at #5 with the big $38 millionng weekend for “Ocean’s Eleven.” Pamela Anderson, Kelly Brook, and Stuff cover girl Alyssa Milano hang in there at #6, #7, and #8, respectively. Colombian pop princess Shakira is rocking both the Billboard charts with her smash album, and the Glamour Girls Hot 100 at #9. Former Playmate of the Year Victoria Silvstedt soars to her highest ranking to date at #10 with several spectacular magazine appearances (including the Spanish mag DT) and her role in the film “Out Cold.” Tom Cruise’s “Vanilla Sky” leading ladies Penelope Cruz (#14) and Cameron Diaz (#17) are on the rise, as is blonde Playmate stunner Jaime Bergman (cover girl of both Gear and Stun) between them at #16. Maxim cover girl Jaime Pressly jumps to #26 as her spoof “Not Another Teen Movie” is about to premiere. The music charts provide a lift to Jewel (#37) and Madonna (#42 with her greatest-hits album). Cindy Crawford rises to #38 with her nude scene in “The Simian Line.” “Smallville” enchantress Kristin Kreuk continues her ascent at #41. Cover layouts in Gallery and Velvet boost Aria Giovanni to #44, followed immediately by Miriam Gonzalez, the most exciting Playmate of the past year; the new January Playmate, Nicole Narain, is at #52. In between and rising is supermodel Rebecca Romijn Stamos (#51) with her new cover feature in the Jan.-Feb. FHM. Other fast movers this week are #60 Kim Smith (fine feature in German GQ), France’s “Amelie” star Audrey Tautou (#63), and #64 Katie Price (cover girl of the Spanish magazine DT). And now, the Hot 100 for December 12, 2001. Since October, rankings have been compiled on a weekly basis, although only the surveys for the even-numbered weeks are published here. The numbers on the far left for each gal are her peak chart position to date, total weeks on the Hot 100 (this is our 32nd published survey, each covering two weeks, or 64 weeks in all), and by her last six weekly 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.

Its first single, “I’m a Slave 4 U,” is one of her sexiest videos to date with its relentless bump & grind beat, “kitty kitty” catcalls, and finale of dancers salaciously licking her body. Her November 18 HBO concert special from Las Vegas showcased the nymphet cavorting in such outfits as a skintight, low-cut, flesh-colored outfit, in the midst of her 31-date national tour; more recently she performed at the Billboard Music Awards. Blender magazine has declared Britney the sexiest music artist of all time, and her status as queen of the Internet remains undisputed. Just turned 20 on December 2, Britney’s recent magazine covers include the December 6 Rolling Stone (sensational overflowing-cleavage cover in bra & jeans), November 9 Entertainment Weekly (“Confessions of a Teenage Sex Kitten,” with cover pose in an unbuttoned shirt and come-hither look), and the December Seventeen.

Lo.” The Latina bombshell’s recent magazine covers include the January Redbook, October British FHM (cover in see-through mesh top & bikini bottom with a generous 17 pages on the beach; she also headlines the November French edition), and Must Be Mad #12.

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. Oscars, Golden Globes,
and other honors are included; 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 few weeks
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 first-run movies and 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, Adversus, Maxim, FHM & GQ
websites, 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. Comments and suggestions are always welcome; write us at: stevesul. |
