THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
October
3, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
What was shaping up as a three-way battle for #1 turned out to be no contest: Pamela Anderson soared far above the field to become the supreme Glamour Girl for the third time since the Hot 100 began a year ago (and the first time since June 13) with sizzling magazine covers (including the October Stuff and the September Front), the return of “V.I.P.,” and her usual strength on the Internet. Britney Spears slips to #2, and newlywed Jennifer Lopez to #3. Mariah Carey jumps back to the #4 position even though “Glitter” did a belly-flop at the box office; she compensates with its hit soundtrack and magazine covers such as the September British Cosmo. Nicole Kidman stays strong at #5 as “The Others” continues to impress in theaters. The triumphant return of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer” carries Sarah Michelle Gellar to #6, followed by Estella Warren, Anna Kournikova, Janet Jackson, and—in (remarkably enough) her first appearance in the biweekly Top Ten—Rebecca Romijn Stamos at #10. Coming on strong and ready to ascend into the Top Ten next time are two shining lights of the new TV season, #11 Jennifer Aniston and #12 Jessica Alba. The queen of British pin-ups, Kelly Brook, takes a big jump to #17 with a hot magazine cover feature in the October DT; also moving up swiftly to #19 is FHM cover babe Nikki Cox. Magazine covers are the driving force behind the rise of #22 Gisele Bundchen and #38 Angelica Bridges (cover girl of the November Playboy). The pop music charts provide the rocket fuel for #29 Alicia Keys and jazz goddess Diana Krall (debuting at #67). Fast movers due to the fall TV season are #30 Alyssa Milano (“Charmed”), #35 Jolene Blalock (“Enterprise”), and #39 Katie Holmes (“Dawson’s Creek”). And current movies lift the sails of #49 Diane Lane (“Hardball”), #50 Leelee Sobieski (Diane’s co-star in “The Glass House”), and #52 Brittany Murphy (“Don’t Say a Word”). And now, the Hot 100 for October 3, 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 eight surveys, representing 16 weeks); and total weeks on the Hot 100 (this is our 27th survey, each covering two weeks, or 54 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 ultimate 21st century blonde’s nude return to Playboy in the July issue’s cover, poster, and 12-page layout marked her eighth Playboy cover, a record unlikely to ever be equaled; the same cover feature appears in the magazine’s French and Spanish editions, and she also has 8 pages in Playboy’s Sexiest Playmates. British Maxim declared 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.) Tribute site: http://www.2tup.com/p1/ #1 (3), 54 wks ) 2.BRITNEY SPEARS: Although she couldn’t hope to top her now-legendary striptease of a year ago, Britney still generated plenty of steam Sept. 6 by gyrating in a skimpy outfit with a giant python on the MTV Video Music Awards show. The teen vixen is all grown up now, as she proclaimed in her Sept. 13 Rolling Stone cover story (with cover in bikini top,shirt, & shorts). Blender magazine has declared Britney the sexiest music artist of all time, and her status as queen of the Internet remains undisputed. According to Us magazine, she wanted to appear topless in her (retitled) first movie, “Not a Girl,” but had to settle for stripping to bra & panties for a love scene. The 19-year-old’s other current magazine covers include the October YM (glamorous cover), and the Oct.-Nov. Complete Woman. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #2) Link to: www.britneyspears.com. Fan site: #1 (8), 54 wks (2) (1) (2) 3.JENNIFER LOPEZ: The glamour goddess is now a newlywed, having married choreographer Cris Judd on September 29. For the second time, Jennifer scored a #1 pop single with “I’m Real,” from her smash album “J. Lo.” Stuff magazine reportedly paid the Latina bombshell $250,000 for a cover layout in its September issue, and the publication seems to have gotten its money’s worth: her semi-topless cover and steamy 14-page feature is one of Jennifer’s hottest ever. She’s also on the covers of the September Spanish GQ (bikini cover & 7 pages) and the October Celebrity Looks; the current Celebrity Sleuth ranks her legendary posterior as the world’s “#1 butt” (4 pages). FHM ranked her as the #1 sexiest gal on the planet, and she’s topped only by Britney and Pam on the Internet. (Jennifer was the #1 Glamour Girl of 2000.) Link to: www.jenniferlopez.com. #4, 43 wks ) 4.MARIAH CAREY: No need
to mince words: Mariah’s starring movie debut, “Glitter,” has
been a debacle with dismal box office of barely $4 million through its second weekend,
and equally bad reviews. However,
although even its soundtrack is falling short of expectations to date, it is a
Top Ten hit, containing the #2 single “Loverboy” (with its
sex-bomb, scantily-clad video); the ballad “Never Too Far,” the
movie’s big finale, is its second release. The recuperating diva emerged from her emotional and
physical breakdown to sing her big ballad “Hero” at “America:
A Tribute to Heroes” before a multi-network TV audience of 89 million on
Sept. 21. Mariah graces the covers of the October Cosmo Girl, and
the September issues of British Cosmopolitan, German In Style, and Allure. Her
scintillating layout in the August Movieline featured a cover in mostly pulled-down nightie, and
one inside pose in black miniskirt with topd to reveal most of her
breasts. (2000 Glamour
Girl ranking: #21) Link to: www.mcarey.com. #4, 36 wks ) 5.NICOLE KIDMAN: The flame-haired Australian dazzler may have an Oscar nomination coming for her chilling performance as a tightly-wound mother in the thriller “The Others,” which has earned a vigorous $87 million and still going strong. Tom Cruise’s now ex-wife is on the covers of the September issues of British Esquire and Harpers Bazaar. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #80) Tribute site: http://www.absolutes.net/celebrities/k/kidman_nicole/ #4, 54 wks ) 6.SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR: “Buffy Lives.” That’s the mantra for UPN’s new season of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,” bringing the self-sacrificing heroine back to life (but still a long way from back to normal) in the program’s reliably creative, powerful style. Sarah is cover girl for the September Australian edition of FHM in dominatrix garb (following her glamorous cover & 7-page feature in the August British FHM), Sept. 7 Entertainment Weekly, and the September Twist. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #9) Fan site: http://www.sarah-michelle-gellar.com/ #6, 40 wks ) 7.ESTELLA WARREN: Tim Burton’s big-budget version of “Planet of the Apes” has earned $177 million, with Estella playing a captured human; it’s not much of an acting challenge, but she looks ravishing in skimpy animal skins. She has a near-topless cover & 8 sizzling pages in the September Italian GQ, is the devastating cover girl of the October Cosmopolitan, has 4 pages in the current Celebrity Sleuth #14-7 (Sleuth also ranked the curvaceous Canadian as the #1 babe of the year), and a wonderful 2-page leg art pose in the October 5 Entertainment Weekly. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #58) Fan site: http://www.estellaweb.com/ #5, 54 wks ) 8.ANNA KOURNIKOVA: Once again proving her magnetic allure for online pin-up fans, Anna is drawing 200,000 daily page views for her revamped website with its hundreds of photos. The gorgeous cover and 7-page feature in the September FHM (in bare-midriff beach attire) reminds us of why the Russian blonde is the hottest athletic sex symbol ever; the same cover layout is in the magazine’s September French edition. After having been out of action since February with a stress fracture in her foot, Anna (who finished 2000 as the world’s #8 female tennis player) has returned to the court, although losing in the first round of her first two tournaments back. The 20-year-old tease is ranked by Lycos as the #4 woman in total Web searches. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #15) Anna’s official site: #1 (1), 41 wks ) 9.JANET JACKSON: The followup to Janet’s irresistible `nice-package’ single “All for You” (which held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for seven weeks), “Someone to Call My Lover,” made it all the way to the #3 position. Her U.S. tour was one of the smash hits of the summer, including a mock-bondage segment in which she grinds her groin in the face of a male audience member who’s strapped to a gurney on stage. The September British Maxim gives us a superbly sultry cover and 5 pages, including a semi-topless boudoir pose; Ms. Jackson’s other recent magazine covers include the September Essence (pretty cover), and the current issue of Rap-Up. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #45) Tribute site: http://www.absolutenow.com/music/artists/Janet_Jackson/index.html. #10, 54 wks ) 10.REBECCA ROMIJN STAMOS: Few supermodels can match the dazzling pulchritude of Rebecca, as evidenced by her cover features for the September issues of German Cosmopolitan and Glamour, the fall The Look/In Style, and the German magazine Petra, plus 3 pages in the Sept. Italian Max. Her action flick “Rollerball” has been delayed until next year. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #10) Fan site: http://members.tripod.com/~wouters_wereld/rebecca.html. #11, 47 wks (93) (38) (17) 11.JENNIFER ANISTON: The story behind Rachel’s surprise pregnancy is now being revealed as “Friends” begins its fall season. Jennifer plays Mark Wahlberg’s girlfriend in the ‘80s-based film “Rock Star,” which has drawn decent reviews but a weak $16 million to date. She’s on the covers of the Sept. 27 Rolling Stone (nice cover in jeans & frilly halter top), and the September U.S. and British editions of Elle. Brad’s girl is featured in the current Melissa Etheridge video “I Want to Be In Love.” (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #43) Tribute site: http://www.celebritypro.com/jennifer_aniston_main.htm. #3, 54 wks (58) (64) (22) 12.JESSICA ALBA: “Sci-fi’s siren for the next generation” (as described by Entertainment Weekly) makes another big move with the return of Fox’s “Dark Angel,” and her gorgeous cover of the October Glamour. The fetching 20-year-old also shares the cover of Celebrity Skin #98, and has an interview feature in the Sept.-Oct. Femme Fatales; she was ranked #1 in Maxim’s Top 100 for the year. On the side, Jessica models for L’Oreal haircare. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #18) Link to: www.jessicaalba.net. #9, 54 wks (18) (15) (14)

As her film “Blow” rides high on the home video charts, her pairing with new boyfriend Tom Cruise in “Vanilla Sky” comes later this year. Penelope adorns the covers of the November Marie Claire and the September issues of Vanity Fair (a truly radiant cover) and the Spanish magazine Vanidades. She’s also modeling for Ralph Lauren. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #33) Photo gallery: http://penelopecruz.hypermart.net/ #1 (3), 52 wks (1) (2) (6) 15.ANGELINA JOLIE: “Original Sin” is just a routine potboiler and has earned only about $16 million, but Angelina turns in an overwhelmingly sensual performance, doffing her duds for three topless scenes (two bedroom sequences and once bathing with Antonio Banderas). Angelina—recently named the United Nations’ celebrity goodwill ambassador—has contributed $1 million to the UN’s efforts on behalf of Afghan refugees.

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. 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 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, Maxim & FHM
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. |
