THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
November
28, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
The two bombshells who have been the most dominant forces in the Glamour Girls Hot 100 since its inception 14 months ago reign atop the charts as the holiday season begins. Britney Spears becomes the first girl since Cameron Diaz a year ago to hold the #1 position for six consecutive weeks; the combination of her new #1 album, national tour, HBO concert special, Internet-queen status, and such sizzling magazine covers as the Dec. 6 Rolling Stone made the teen titan unbeatable once again. Jennifer Lopez countered with her own concert special on NBC, big record sales, and magazine covers to earn the #2 position. Playboy cover girl Gena Lee Nolin is #3, followed by Pamela Anderson and British stunner Kelly Brook. Alyssa Milano proves “Charmed” indeed with her highest-ever ranking of #6. Estella Warren and Sarah Michelle Gellar are followed at #9 by supermodel Gisele Bundchen, who attains a new personal peak thanks to the Victoria’s Secret ABC special and nude poses for “W” magazine. Former #1 Halle Berry is soaring up the charts again at #10 with a cleavage-revealing Movieline cover and a steamy movie role in “Monster’s Ball” coming soon. With the likely blockbuster “Ocean’s Eleven” just a week away, Julia Roberts makes a vigorous jump up to #14. “Shallow Hal” star Gwyneth Paltrow rises to #15 with the additional boost of her Harpers Bazaar and Talk magazine covers. The week’s hottest mover of all is Colombian pop music blonde bombshell Shakira, whose explosive new album and Internet popularity enable her to shoot all the way from #52 two weeks ago to #16, with the Top Ten a virtual certainty soon. Sexy magazine covers explain the giant leaps made this week by a pair of blonde Playmates: #22 Jaime Bergman (covers of Stun and Gear) and Victoria Silvstedt (covers of Newlook and Interviu, plus a movie role in “Out Cold”). Just as it boosted Gisele Bundchen above, the bras-and-panties spectacular of Victoria’s Secret gave big lifts to #25 Tyra Banks, #30 Daniela Pestova, and #58 Heidi Klum. The magnificent-mammaried Linsey Dawn McKenzie jumps to #34 with hot layouts in Score and Voluptuous. Perfect 10 cover girl Irina Voronina and Playmates In Bed headliner Buffy Tyler make solid moves to #44 and #45, respectively. Jaime Pressly is crackling with momentum at #51 thanks mainly to her cover spread in the December Maxim. Foxy chanteuse Jewel is also on the rise at #52. And watch out for “Smallville” heartbreaker Kristin Kreuk, currently #54 and showing rich potential for much bigger things to come. And now, the Hot 100 for November 28, 2001. Starting in 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 31st published survey, each covering two weeks, or 62 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 and an even lower-cut, frilly nightie, in the midst of her 31-date national tour. Blender magazine has declared Britney the sexiest music artist of all time, and her status as queen of the Internet remains undisputed. Coming up fast on her 20th birthday 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), the December Seventeen, and the current issues of Teen Beat, Pop Star, and Teen Hairstyles. Also, the December Esquire explores “The Cosmic Significance of Britney Spears.” Her starring movie debut, retitled “Not a Girl,” arrives in February.

Lo.” The Latina bombshell’s recent magazine covers include the 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. |
