THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
January
24, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
Catherine Zeta Jones’ acclaimed performance in the powerful film “Traffic”—the high point of her career to date--combines with her magazine covers to earn the magnificent Welsh beauty her first #1 Glamour Girl ranking. However, previous #1 Jennifer Lopez is all but assured of a return to the top spot next time thanks to her unrivaled array of covers, a new album, and new film “The Wedding Planner” about to reach theaters. Britney Spears remains formidable at #3 with a fast-rising single and her usual Internet dominance. Monica Belluci continues her turbo-powered movement (from #94 to #39 to #18 to #8) with her sensual performance in “Malena,” and “Dark Angel” Jessica Alba moves back into the Top Ten. The biggest news below the Top Ten is supermodel Elle MacPherson, whose sizzling lesbian love scenes in the Showtime movie “A Girl Thing” enable her to skyrocket all the way from Honorable Mention (below the Hot 100) to #19. Gena Lee Nolin’s latest magazine appearances catapult “Sheena” back into the Top 20, and the lovely co-stars of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” Zhang Ziyi and Michelle Yeoh, make impressive leaps once again. Aside from Elle, the highest Hot 100 debut this week is made by Julia Stiles thanks to the immediate box office success of “Save the Last Dance.” And now, the Hot 100 for January 24, 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 surveys on which she ranked #1 (in parentheses); and total weeks on the Hot 100 (this is our ninth survey, each covering two weeks, or 18 weeks in all), followed by her three most recent rankings. 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 (1), 18 wks ) 1.CATHERINE ZETA JONES: She’s never been less than radiant on screen, but Catherine’s compelling performance as the very enterprising wife of an international drug dealer in “Traffic” proves that her astonishing beauty is matched by her acting prowess. The Golden Globe nominee now awaits a possible Oscar nod for her role in the film that was named Best Picture by the New York Film Critics Circle. Mrs. Michael Douglas graces the covers of the Feb. Biography, the Jan. Vanity Fair (splendidly glamorous layout) and the Jan. Ladies Home Journal. Tribute site: http://www.gla.ac.uk/Clubs/WebSoc/~9404943w/zeta/main.html. #1 (2), 18 wks (5) (2) (1) 2.JENNIFER LOPEZ: 2001 is already shaping up as another huge year for Jennifer. Her single “Love Don’t Cost a Thing” has shot swiftly into the Billboard Top Ten, and her new album “J.Lo” is now hitting record stores; she earned a Grammy nomination for best dance recording. Jen’s romantic screen teaming with Matthew McConaughey, “The Wedding Planner,” premieres Jan. 26. The Latina stunner’s numerous current magazine covers include the Feb. issues of In Style and Marie Claire and the January issues of Allure, New Woman, and Seventeen, respectively; the Feb. Stuff calls her the year’s 2nd sexiest woman, and the January Sky magazine has a sizzling pin-up poster. Lycos ranks her as the #3 Most Wanted Woman on the Internet for the past year behind Britney and Pam. Link to: www.jenniferlopez.com. #1 (2), 18 wks ) 3.BRITNEY SPEARS: Recently turned 19, Britney’s position as queen of the Internet has been officially certified by Lycos, which ranks her as the #1 subject of Web searches over the past year. Her album is still in the Billboard Top 30, with new single “Stronger” approaching the Top Ten; Rolling Stone readers voted her #1 female singer, and she’s nominated for two Grammies. Britney was a vision as co-host of the American Music Awards, although she didn’t take home any trophies. Her latest magazine covers include the Feb. Teen People (very pretty cover feature as the Readers’ Choice for top pop singer), Jan. Entertainment Teen, and a Britney 2000 Scrapbook; she’s also seen in the January Playboy (which reprises her MTV striptease performance), and the Jan. Arena has a terrific 2-page pose in teensie cheerleader outfit. Link to: www.britneyspears.com. #1 (3), 18 wks ) 4.CAMERON DIAZ: Cameron still has ample reason to smile after scoring three straight #1 Glamour Girl rankings. “Charlie’s Angels” has earned over $123 million, and no one is more responsible for the big-screen version’s spectacular success than the booty-shaking blonde with the irresistible smile. Her indie film “Invisible Circus” debuts on Feb. 2. Cameron is ranked as the world’s sexiest woman in the Feb. Stuff; she’s on the cover of the Dec. British FHM (“Angels” cast cover plus three sexy solo pages), and the “Angels” share cover stories in the January issues of Look and Tatler.

Sci-Fi magazine, the Jan. British Esquire (glamorous feature), Jan. X-Pose, the Jan. American Woman, and Dec.-Jan. Cosmo Girl (which named her Girl of the Year). Official “Buffy” website: #2, 18 wks ) 6.PAMELA ANDERSON: “V.I.P.” has brilliantly recast Pam’s image, showing off both her abundant pulchritude and gift for goofy fun. Her recent magazine appearances include the new Playboy Sexy Celebrities, Playboy Lingerie Calendar and Jan.-Feb. FHM 2001 calendar, and December Playboy (“Sex Stars” roundup). Pam ranked second only to Britney for the past year in Lycos searches. Link to: http://www.pamwatch.com. #1 (1), 18 wks (2) (3) (6) 7.ELIZABETH HURLEY: A lucrative endorsement contract renewal with Estee’ Lauder should help pay for Liz’s recent $100,000 fine from the Screen Actors Guild. Her sinfully sexy performance in “Bedazzled” is gone from most theaters, but the British bombshell remains ubiquitous at newsstands. Her current array of steamy magazine appearances includes the Jan. Italian edition of Max (3 pages enticingly topless), Dec. British Esquire (superbly glamorous cover & 6 pages), and the December issues of Empire and Film Review. Tribute website: http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Bungalow/1541/ #8, 8 wks ) 8.MONICA BELLUCI: Perhaps not since Bo Derek in “10” has a movie’s entire plot so totally revolved around the heart-stopping beauty of one woman as the current film “Malena,” which wonderfully showcases the Italian brunette’s classic beauty (including brief topless scenes) as an exceptionally alluring World War II widow. Monica’s many magazine appearances include the Feb. Esquire (semi-nude cover & 7 pages); the Feb. Maxim (6 pages); the Feb. Playboy (photo as Babe of the Month); and the cover & 9 pages, including superb nudes, in the Dec. Spanish GQ.

Later this year she’ll pair with Tom Cruise in “Vanilla Sky.” The Spanish enchantress was ranked as the world’s #1 babe in the Jan. Loaded, and had a beautiful cover feature in the Dec.

Fan site: http://allaboutvanessa.8m.com. 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 the London
Sun and 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 in late-night talk shows; Nielsen ratings
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), and Yahoo’s 100 most
popular women based on total websites, Yahoo clubs, and auction items. Selected Web sites are also included,
most notably Gateway to Eden, the Playboy Cyber Club, Mystique, Versus Online,
IGN for Men, Ask Men.com, Top Net Models, Famous Centerfolds, Women of Desire,
Babesites, Undeniable Stars, 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. 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; during non-Olympic periods, this is
usually a low-value category. 8)
Other: Broadway; books. Usually not a factor. 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. |
