THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
June
13, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
As expected, Pamela Anderson returns to the position of Number One Glamour Girl thanks to her nude cover layout in Playboy. But it was a surprisingly hard-fought battle, as the strongng weekend of “Swordfish” (with her topless scene) enables Halle Berry to leap from #8 to a tantalizingly close #2; probably nothing can stop Halle from seizing the supreme ranking next time. Jennifer Lopez slips two positions to #3, followed by Janet Jackson and Catherine Zeta Jones. The early success of “Moulin Rouge” carries Nicole Kidman from #14 to #6, and on the eve of her highly anticipated “Tomb Raider” debut, Angelina Jolie takes a flying leap from #24 to #8. In between the two is #7 Cameron Diaz, lead female voice of the animated summer blockbuster “Shrek.” Britney Spears’ unbroken streak of Top Ten rankings may be at risk as she tumbles to #9, while new magazine covers (including Femme Fatales) bring “Sheena” Gena Lee Nolin back into the Top Ten. A splendid new cover layout in DT magazine lifts Jaime Bergman five positions to #16, and tennis sexpot Anna Kournikova jumps from #36 to #22 due to a cover feature in the July British GQ. Kirsten Dunst, coming to screens soon in “Crazy/Beautiful,” shoots from #66 to #25, boosted both by magazine covers and her co-hosting gig on the MTV Movie Awards. The highest debut of the week at a sensational #33 is Kim Cattrall as HBO’s “Sex In the City” begins a steamy new season, and her co-star Sarah Jessica Parker is not far behind at #41. Pop diva Mariah Carey moves up 27 spots to #42 with a sexy new music video. Other high debuts on the strength of new movies are #59 Julianne Moore (“Evolution”) and #63 Zhang Ziyi (“The Road Home”). And now, the Hot 100 for June 13, 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 19th survey, each covering two weeks, or 38 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.

Pam is also on the cover of the Apr. 26 Tomorrow (German), and has 1 page in the June British Maxim as the magazine’s choice for #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: #2, 38 wks ) 2.HALLE BERRY: The over-the-top thriller “Swordfish” enjoyed a solid $18.4 millionng weekend, and one reason was the screen-filling beauty of Halle as bad guy John Travolta’s right-hand woman—including her first movie topless scene and another sequence in bra & panties. She’s at her ravishing best in the June FHM (superb cheesecake cover & 6 pages), an issue that also ranks her as the year’s #6 sexiest woman. Halle also graces the covers of the July Glamour, the June 18 Jet, the June-July issue issues of Savoy and Today’s Black Woman, and the April British Maxim (cover & superb 8-page glamour layout); additionally, she’s in the May 14 People “50 Most Beautiful” issue. Halle further expanded her audience with the big home video & DVD success of “X-Men.” (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #8) Link to: http://www.hallewood.com. #1 (7), 38 wks ) 3.JENNIFER LOPEZ: Talk about consistency: this is the first time since December 13 (!) that Jennifer has ranked anywhere except #1 or #2. The mystery/romance “Angel Eyes” has received mixed reviews, and its box office returns are losing steam with $23 million total, but Jennifer’s performance as a tough but sexy cop has earned praise. Just as her near-topless Oscar show gown created an Internet frenzy, rumors of a sex tape starring La Lopez recently sent her shooting back into the Lycos Top Ten (measuring total ‘Net searches). The Latina bombshell’s album “J. Lo” is still selling briskly while its second single “Play” hit the Top 20. 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 covers of the June issues of Latina and Vanity Fair (bikini cover and layout photographed by Herb Ritts). The June FHM ranks her as the #1 sexiest gal on the planet, and she also earned a spot among the “50 Most Beautiful” in the May 14 People. According to news reports, Jen is newly pregnant and engaged. (Jennifer was the #1 Glamour Girl of 2000.) Link to: www.jenniferlopez.com. #1 (1), 25 wks ) 4.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. Her steamy cover story/interviews in the May issue of 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 June Redbook, Apr. 28 Billboard (featuring her semi-nude boudoir CD cover pose) and the Apr. 30 Jet; she also has a 2-page boudoir pose in the June Italian Max. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #45) Fan site: http://www.angelfire.com/az/assaad/janet.htm. #1 (2), 38 wks ) 5.CATHERINE ZETA JONES: People magazine could not have made a more ideal choice than Catherine as the cover girl for its May 14 “50 Most Beautiful People” issue. The Welsh goddess has never been less than radiant on screen, but her compelling performance as the very enterprising wife of an international drug dealer in the Oscar-winning “Traffic” proves that her extraordinary beauty is matched by her acting prowess. Next up is “America’s Sweethearts” with Julia Roberts. She also graces the covers of the June 14 Gente, and the March Italian GQ (including a hot pin-up poster). (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #6) Tribute site: http://www.gla.ac.uk/Clubs/WebSoc/~9404943w/zeta/main.html. #6, 20 wks ) 6.NICOLE KIDMAN: Putting behind her the shockingly sudden breakup with Tom Cruise, the flame-haired Australian enchantress is now bouncing back with a vengeance. Nicole’s wildly lavish, sexy musical “Moulin Rouge” (in which she wears scanty attire as a stage performer and courtesan) has earned cheers and $28 million to date. She’s on the covers of the June issues of In Style (at her loveliest) and Glamour, the spring French edition of Premiere, May 25 Entertainment Weekly, the May Interview (including a 1-page semi-topless pose from rear), and the May Marie Claire. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #80) Tribute site: http://www.absolutes.net/celebrities/k/kidman_nicole/ #1 (3), 38 wks ) 7.CAMERON DIAZ: The highly original animated romp “Shrek” appears to be the #1 blockbuster of the summer ($176 million earned to date), with Cameron providing the lead female voice as the princess. She was charmingly giddy winning two awards (including Best Dance Sequence) at the June 7 MTV Movie Awards. Her highly praised performance as a feisty young blind woman in “Things You Can Tell Just By Looking At Her” made its debut on Showtime. “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: #8, 36 wks ) 8.ANGELINA JOLIE: The wait is finally over for Angelina’s bodacious role as adventuress Lara Croft in “Tomb Raider,” nowng nationwide. She’s the subject of cover stories in the July issues of Marie Claire (at her most alluring) and Play Station, June 15 Entertainment Weekly (sultry semi-topless cover pose), the June issues of Movieline and Starlog, and the May-June Cinescape; also 6 pages including semi-topless in the June DT. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #16) Tribute site: http://www.ajolie.com/ #1 (2), 38 wks ) 9.BRITNEY SPEARS: Britney is still the queen of the Internet and ubiquitous at magazine stands, but ferocious competition (and her current absence from the Billboard singles chart) is forcing to her to fight to retain her unbroken 38-week run in the Top Ten. The teen vixen is the world’s #1 female celebrity according to Forbes, which ranks her #4 overall (Tom Cruise is #1) with annual earnings of $38.5 million now boosted by her Pepsi ad campaign. She’s finished shooting her first movie, “What Are Friends For?” The 19-year-old’s recent magazine covers include the July Teen, June 4 Us, May British Maxim (cover & 5 pages), and the May issues of Glamour and Marie Claire (Spanish edition). (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #2) Link to: www.britneyspears.com. #9, 38 wks ) 10.GENA LEE NOLIN: The syndicated jungle-fantasy series “Sheena” is a perfect showcase for Gena Lee’s impeccable blonde beauty and (special effects-aided) athleticism. She has a terrific cover & 6 pages of pin-ups (including 2 semi-topless poses) in the June-July issue of To the Edge, a cover & 6-page feature in the May-June Femme Fatales, and recently posed nude for seven hours while being painted from head to toe for an upcoming PETA billboard. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #28) Fan website: http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/GenaLovers/gena1.htm #5, 34 wks (8) (5) (6) 11.BEYONCE’ KNOWLES of Destiny’s Child: Red-hot girl group led by foxy 19-year-old Beyonce’ moved past Janet Jackson to take over the #1 spot on the Billboard album charts with “Survivor” (Beyonce’ co-wrote nearly every track); the title song was #2 on the singles chart for a month behind Janet, and the teasing “Bootylicious” is now on its way up. Moving to conquer a new arena, Beyonce’ was devastatingly seductive in the title role of MTV’s hip-hop update of “Carmen” which debuted on May 8, and the group performed its two latest hits at halftime of the NBA Finals Game Four. She & the girls are on the covers of the May 24 Rolling Stone (“Booty Camp!” a thoroughly sexy cover pose based on their CD cover), and the May issues of Honey and Today’s Black Woman. She’s also one of People’s “50 Most Beautiful People.” (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #44) Her tribute website: http://bounce.to/beyonceboudoir/ #8, 38 wks (27) (17) (13) 12.CHRISTINA AGUILERA: Christina has the #1 single in the country 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 has signed an endorsement deal with Coca-Cola. Lycos ranked the 20-year-old as its 5th most popular woman of the year on the ‘Net. Recent newsstand appearances include the cover of Celebrity Skin #95, the May British Maxim (3 pages of saucy poses), and the June FHM. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #12) Link to: #4, 38 wks ) 13.SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR: In the sensational season finale of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,” did Buffy sacrifice her life to save her sister and humanity? We can guess the answer since the show will switch from WB to UPN in the fall, but fans will tune in to see how they do it. Newly engaged to actor Freddie Prinze, Jr., she’s on the covers of the June Allure (very pretty cover & 4 pages) Summer Buffy, the Vampire Slayer magazine (of course), and the May issue of The Net.

Jessica ranks #1 in the May Maxim’s Top 100 for the year (the June FHM puts her at #6); she’s also the cover girl of the June Celebrity Sleuth #14-5. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #18) Link to: www.jessicaalba.net. #20, 8 wks (63) (25) (20) 21.Rachel Weisz: “The Mummy Returns” has rocked the box

feeling that she had gone too long without a good controversy, Madonna got her
latest video for “What It Feels Like For a Girl” banned from MTV
for its violence; the single reached the Billboard Top 25. She’s on the covers of the June 7
VSD and the March Italian Elle; also ranked as the past year’s 7th

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 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, Village Babes, Famous
Centerfolds, Women of Desire, 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; 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. Comments
and suggestions are always welcome; write us at: stevesul. |
