THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
July
25, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
For the first time since the survey of March 7, we have a repeat champion. Angelina Jolie used the continued strength of “Lara Croft, Tomb Raider” and her prowess at magazine newsstands and the Internet to retain her Number One Glamour Girl ranking. But it took all of Lara’s muscle and moxie to do it, because Catherine Zeta Jones (“America’s Sweethearts”) is coming on like gangbusters at #2, and will almost certainly take over the top position next time. Catherine’s “Sweethearts” co-star, Julia Roberts, makes a big jump from #17 to #4. In between at #3 is “Swordfish” bombshell Halle Berry. Following Pamela Anderson and Jennifer Lopez is diva Mariah Carey at #7, her hot magazine covers (particularly Movieline) making up for the disappointing performance of the first song from her upcoming movie. Janet Jackson stays in place at #8. “Crazy/Beautiful” star Kirsten Dunst edges up one more spot to #9, and Britney Spears returns to her customary place in the Top Ten. Sizzling magazine appearances and the season finale of “Son of the Beach” bring Jaime Bergman up strongly to #11, and the great success of “Legally Blonde” carries Reese Witherspoon all the way from #33 to #12. Carmen Electra leaps 23 positions to #15 thanks to a scintillating cover layout in British FHM. Three lovely ladies from the eagerly-anticipated “Planet of the Apes” are moving swiftly up the survey: Estella Warren at #16, Lisa Marie debuting at #58, and Helena Bonham Carter at #62. The pop music charts are in part responsible for no fewer than five of the week’s fast movers: Jessica Simpson (#21), Mandy Moore (#31), Willa Ford (this week’s highest debut at #39, boosted as well by her sexy Stuff cover feature), and R&B hotties Aaliyah (#53) and Alicia Keys (#76). Soaring from #72 to #25 is veteran supermodel Claudia Schiffer, the dazzling cover girl of the new British GQ. Teen titan Kim Smith makes an explosive return to the Hot 100 at #44 due to her new cover spread in French Max. Hot magazine appearances are also responsible for the rapid rise of #49 Traci Bingham, while the bigng weekend of “Jurassic Park 3” enables Tea Leoni to score another high debut at #50. And now, the Hot 100 for July 25, 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 22nd survey, each covering two weeks, or 44 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.

The film gives us the sumptuous sight of seductive Angelina emerging from the shower, and battling adversaries in slinky, form-fitting garb. It’s a formula that has earned the flick more than $125 million, and she’s signed for two sequels. Hot on the Internet, she recently reached #4 on the Lycos Top 50 measuring Net searches. Angelina is the subject of cover stories in the August issues of Dream Watch and Film Review, the July British Esquire, July 5 Rolling Stone (with 2 semi-topless poses inside), and the July Marie Claire (at her most alluring); she’s also interviewed (with a 2-page lingerie pose) in the July German edition of Playboy. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #16) Tribute site: http://www.ajolie.com/ #1 (2), 44 wks ) 2.CATHERINE ZETA JONES: The Welsh goddess enjoyed a bigng weekend for “America’s Sweethearts,” playing 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 shares 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 is 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 (1), 44 wks (2) (1) (2) 3.HALLE BERRY: The over-the-top thriller “Swordfish” has earned a solid $68 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), the July Glamour, and the June FHM (superb cheesecake cover & 6 pages), an issue that also ranked her as the year’s #6 sexiest woman. Additionally, she reached the Top 15 of the Lycos rankings, and is in the People “50 Most Beautiful” issue. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #8) Link to: http://www.hallewood.com. #1 (1), 44 wks ) 4.JULIA ROBERTS: Julia’s magic touch at the box office continued with the $30 millionng weekend for “America’s Sweethearts,” despite lukewarm reviews. The latest confirmation of the “Erin Brockovitch” Oscar winner’s extraordinary status is the cover of the July 9 Time proclaiming her as the Queen of Hollywood; she also shares 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)—which she handled masterfully in her appearance on the David Letterman show. 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. #1 (2), 44 wks ) 5.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 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 (7), 44 wks ) 6.JENNIFER LOPEZ: The mystery/romance “Angel Eyes” topped out at $24 million at the box office. The Latina bombshell’s album “J. Lo” is still selling briskly; “Play” hit the Top 20, and new single “I’m Real”—amidst controversy over its inflammatory lyrics—is in the Top 25. The June Arena features one of the finest pictorials ever on “The Woman Who Seduced the World,” its 9 pages including a semi-topless pose; 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. #7, 33 wks ) 7.MARIAH CAREY: As
Mariah gets richer, her clothing gets skimpier: just check out her
scintillating cover layout in the August Movieline (cover in
mostly pulled-down nightie, and one inside pose in black miniskirt with topd to reveal most of her breasts), and her barely-clad video for
“Loverboy”—which nevertheless has failed to crack the Billboard Top 50.
The devastating diva’s new contract with Virgin Records could earn
her up to $20 million per album or $80 million overall. The first release under the deal will
be the soundtrack to her debut starring role in the film “Glitter,”
due out in late August. She also graces the covers of the August Latina and the July Elle. (2000
Glamour Girl ranking: #21) Link to: www.mcarey.com. #1 (1), 31 wks ) 8.JANET JACKSON: Janet’s irresistible 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,” has moved into the Top 20. Her steamy cover story/interviews in Vibe (in which she frankly declares that she’s a “size queen”), and similar comments and revealing photos in the June-July Blender #1, underlined hery sensual style. Ms. Jackson’s other recent magazine covers include 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, 44 wks ) 9.KIRSTEN DUNST: Although its box office has been mediocre ($16 million to date), 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 has an appealing cover & 5 pages in the June-July Detour; she has a nice bikini pose in the July 19 Rolling Stone, and the May Maxim ranked her as the year’s #2 babe. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #36) Fan site: http://www.geocities.com/newkirstendunst/ #1 (2), 44 wks ) 10.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 recent magazine covers include the current Forbes (for a shoe-design feature) and the August Harpers Bazaar. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #2) Link to: www.britneyspears.com. Fan site: http://www.britneyspears.org/ #3, 44 wks ) 11.JAIME BERGMAN: 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, 2 pages in the July German Playboy, a superb cover & 8-page bikini layout in the
June Spanish magazine DT, and 5
pages (in black bra & slacks) in the August Edge. (2000

She’s on the covers of the August Premiere (on the cover as Goldilocks and inside as Lady Godiva), the August Cosmo Girl, and a glamorous pose atop the July Cosmopolitan, in which she admits to having “a little crush” on Britney Spears. (2000 ranking: #309) Photo gallery: http://www.thephotogallery.net/reese_witherspoon/ #7, 44 wks (12) (9) (7) 13.CHRISTINA
AGUILERA: Christina had the #1 single in the country for five
weeks teaming with Lil’ Kim, Mya and Pink to remake “Lady
Marmalade” from the soundtrack of “Moulin Rouge”; in the
red-hot video, the gals portray hookers, with lingerie-clad Christina teasingly
peeling off her elbow-length gloves.
Since pop-tart rival Britney is representing Pepsi, Christina is now
promoting Coca-Cola. Lycos ranked
the 20-year-old as its 5th most popular woman of the year on the
‘Net. Just nominated for Record of the Year in the Latin Grammy awards,
she is cover girl of the summer Teen Hair Styles. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #12)

Nicole’s wildly lavish, sexy musical “Moulin Rouge” (in which she wears scanty attire as a stage performer and courtesan) has earned cheers and about $53 million to date. She’s on the cover of the June issue of Sight & Sound. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #80) Tribute site: http://www.absolutes.net/celebrities/k/kidman_nicole/ #10, 44 wks (34) (32) (38) 15.CARMEN ELECTRA: The babe-a-licious brunette is celebrated as

She was charmingly giddy winning two awards (including Best Dance Sequence) at the MTV Movie Awards. “Charlie’s Angels” was recently #1 in video stores, and no one is more responsible for its spectacular success than the booty-shaking blonde with the irresistible smile. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #3) Tribute website: http://www.cameron-diaz.com/ #5, 40 wks (11) (12) (15) 18.BEYONCE’ KNOWLES of
Destiny’s Child: Red-hot girl group
led by foxy 19-year-old Beyonce’ reached #1 on the Billboard
album charts with “Survivor” (Beyonce’ co-wrote nearly every
track); the teasing “Bootylicious” (with its infectious
booty-shaking video) is now in the Top Ten. Moving to conquer a new arena, Beyonce’ was seductive
in the title role of MTV’s hip-hop update of “Carmen.” She & the girls are on the cover of
the August Teen Magazine, and

The cast cover of the June 22 Entertainment Weekly found Kim almost slipping out of her towel; the July British FHM has a 1-page reproduction of her semi-nude pose that graced a New York magazine cover last winter.

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. Comments
