THE
GLAMOUR GIRLS HOT 100:
September
19, 2001
by Steve Sullivan
Under the shadows cast by the unspeakable horrors of September 11, we move onward... Britney Spears returns as the Number One Glamour Girl for the third time overall, and the first time since December 27 last year, with her snake-charming performance at the MTV Video Music Awards show, Internet dominance, and magazine covers, nudging Jennifer Lopez (currently #1 on the pop singles chart with “I’m Real”) out of the top spot. Right behind J-Lo at #3 is Pamela Anderson, making a powerful move upward due to hot new magazine covers including the October Stuff and the start of the “V.I.P.” fall season; this sets the stage for a lively three-way race for #1 next time. The continued box office strength of “The Others” keeps Nicole Kidman in the #4 position, followed by FHM cover girl Anna Kournikova with her highest ranking ever at #5. Angelina Jolie is #6, Penelope Cruz #7, and the resilient Janet Jackson #8. Mariah Carey hangs on at #9 with the release of her “Glitter” soundtrack. A superb Cosmopolitan cover helps Estella Warren move back up to #10. Strong movers below the Top Ten include #13 Sarah Michelle Gellar (with “Buffy” set to return from the dead shortly); #17 Jennifer Aniston (with “Rock Star” and the return of “Friends”); #22 Jessica Alba (fine Glamour cover and back for more in “Dark Angel”); and #27 Vivica A. Fox (“Two Can Play That Game” and good magazine covers). Nikki Cox skyrockets back onto the Hot 100 at #31 with her sizzling new FHM cover spread and a new TV season. A continuing array of international covers carries Gisele Bundchen up 17 positions to #30; October Playboy Playmate Stephanie Heinrich continues to impress at #32. “O” star Julia Stiles reaches a new peak of #36; another big-screen mover is #60 Diane Lane, featured in both “Hardball” and “The Glass House.” Alyssa Milano jumps back onto the chart at #57 with the new season of “Charmed,” and the co-star of the new “Star Trek” series “Enterprise,” Jolene Blalock, debuts at #63 with a sexy cover feature in Maxim. Supermodel Heidi Klum makes a vigorous Hot 100 return at #58 thanks in part to her Mademoiselle cover. To commemorate the one-year anniversary of the Glamour Girls Hot 100 (which first materialized on the Net with the survey of October 1, 2000), here are the cumulative leaders for our first 52 weeks: Most weeks at #1: Jennifer Lopez (16 weeks); Britney Spears (6 weeks); Cameron Diaz (6 weeks); Catherine Zeta Jones (6 weeks); Angelina Jolie (6 weeks); Pamela Anderson (4 weeks); Elizabeth Hurley (2 weeks); Janet Jackson (2 weeks); Julia Roberts (2 weeks); Halle Berry (2 weeks).

And now, the Hot 100 for September 19, 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 26th survey, each covering two weeks, or 52 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 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). Britney’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. 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 first movie, “What Are Friends For?,” 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), Oct.-Nov. Complete Woman. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #2) Link to: www.britneyspears.com. Fan site: http://www.britneyspears.org/ #1 (8), 52 wks (5) (2) (1) 2.JENNIFER LOPEZ: For the second time, Jennifer has 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 cover of the Sept. 17 People; 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. #1 (2), 52 wks ) 3.PAMELA ANDERSON: To help launch the fall season of “V.I.P,” Pam is all over magazine newsstands, including the October Stuff (excellent bikini cover & 10 pages plus foldout), the September British GQ (6 pages semi-nude, clad only in boots while riding a motorcycle), and the September Flaunt (cover foldout plus feature). 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 August-Sept. French edition, and the July Spanish edition. 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/ #4, 34 wks ) 4.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 $74 million and still going strong. The wildly lavish, sexy musical “Moulin Rouge” has earned cheers and $55 million. 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/ #5, 52 wks ) 5.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. She’s been out of action since February with a stress fracture in her foot, but Anna did finish 2000 as the world’s #8 female tennis player. The cover girl of the Aug. 16 European tabloid TV Globus, 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 (3), 50 wks (2) (1) (2) 6.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). The vixen with the bee-stung lips was born to play “Lara Croft, Tomb Raider,” battling adversaries in slinky, form-fitting garb; it’s earned $130 million. Angelina—recently named the United Nations’ celebrity goodwill ambassador--is on the covers of the September Italian Cosmopolitan and the August Total Film, and has 7 pages of sultry poses in the Sept. Italian Max. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #16) Tribute site: http://www.ajolie.com/ #3, 52 wks ) 7.PENELOPE CRUZ: The Spanish enchantress is at her most ravishingly beautiful in the World War II romance “Captain Corelli’s Mandolin” with Nicolas Cage, although the film is no classic and its box office has been mediocre ($23 million); Penelope offers up a brief but tasty semi-nude love scene. Her pairing with new boyfriend Tom Cruise in “Vanilla Sky” comes later this year—the subject of their Aug. 24 Entertainment Weekly cover. Penelope also adorns the covers of the Sept. Vanity Fair (a truly radiant cover) and the August Elle En Espanol. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #33) Photo gallery: http://penelopecruz.hypermart.net/ #1 (1), 39 wks ) 8.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,” has 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. #4, 41 wks ) 9.MARIAH CAREY: After a
brief relapse, the troubled diva is beginning to emerge from her emotional and
physical breakdown, and is once again preparing for the delayed release of her
starring film debut in “Glitter.” The film’s soundtrack is now in stores. Her single “Loverboy” (with
its sex-bomb, scantily-clad video) reached #2 in Billboard; the
ballad “Never Too Far” is the second release from the soundtrack.
Mariah graces the covers of the October Cosmo Girl, the Sept. 15 Billboard, and the September issues of 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. #6, 38 wks ) 10.ESTELLA WARREN: Tim Burton’s big-budget version of “Planet of the Apes” has earned $176 million, with Estella playing a captured human; it’s not much of an acting challenge, but she looks ravishing in skimpy animal skins. She’s 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). The August Hot Dog has a 1-page fully topless pose of the former synchronized swimmer, with 5 pages in the August Loaded. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #58) Fan site: #1 (3), 52 wks ) 11.CATHERINE ZETA JONES: “America’s Sweethearts” has earned a solid $92 million to date, with the Welsh goddess quite convincing as a bitchy Hollywood superstar. She’s on the cover of the September Vogue En Espanol. The August U.S. edition of Marie Claire offered 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 was 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. #10, 42 wks ) 12.SHANNON ELIZABETH: Shannon’s sexy Czech exchange student Nadia returns in “American Pie 2,” which has earned a very impressive $136 million so far. The saucy brunette also appears as a leather-clad bombshell who overwhelms the goofball heroes in “Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back.” She and her “Pie” femme co-stars shared the “Hot Issue” bikini cover of the August 30 Rolling Stone. (2000 Glamour Girl ranking: #49) Photo gallery: http://www.cinema-stars.com/ShannonElizabeth/ #4, 52 wks (38) (28) (16) 13.SARAH MICHELLE GELLAR: “Buffy Lives.” That’s the mantra for UPN’s upcoming season of “Buffy, the Vampire Slayer,” and we will shortly learn how they bring the self-sacrificing heroine back to life. 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 current Twist.

statuesque South African blonde is a smashing femme fatale (with Veronica Lake
hairdo) who tries to seduce Woody Allen in the ‘40s comedy “The
Curse of the Jade Scorpion.”
Charlize is cover girl for the October Elle (with 12 pages

Following her death, the pretty, wasp-waisted R&B singer/actress rose to #1 on the Billboard chart with her already-successful new album; the single “Rock the Boat” is now climbing the charts. Aaliyah had completed filming of her starring role as “Queen of the Damned” (due out in February), and had just begun work on the two “Matrix” sequels. Her appearance on the cover of the October Teen People was hitting stores just as news of her passing arrived.

She’s featured in the current Melissa Etheridge video “I Want to Be In Love,” and the story behind Rachel’s surprise pregnancy will be revealed as “Friends” begins its fall season.

Mena also serves as the dewy-eyed love interest in the critically-ravaged swashbuckler “Musketeer,” which earned $18 million through its second weekend.

She’s at her ravishing best in the Summer issue of Ocean Drive (great cover & 2 pages), and the August Glamour En Espanol (the same as her July U.S. cover).

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. |
