Although it may not seem so, THE LIST IS BASED ON A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE OF THINGS. Newcomers in this months chart: - Elisabeth Shue is our highest new entry. Her new movie "Leaving Las Vegas" has been doing very well. I guess there is a chance that she once more will become a bigger star than her brother Andrew Shue, who became the more famous of the two when he joined Melrose Place. - Patsy Kensit is fun to have back in the list again. She stars in "Angels and Insects", a movie which seems to be a bit like "Sirens", playful and not too serious. Patsy is a real tomboy, she enjoys to go to soccer games even more than husband Jimmie Kerr. - Josie Bissett hardly needs an introduction. She plays the cool blonde Jane Mancini in Melrose Place and seems to be very popular all over the world. - Madeleine Stowe is back again (I think it is the third time she has re-entered the list now)! She stars in the new Bruce Willis and Brad Pitt movie "12 monkeys". - Patricia Velasquez is probably most well-known to Americans as one of the Sports Illustrated bikini girls, but she is a regular model that can be seen on the Catwalk when famous designers show their collections. Born in a small village in Venezuela, an indian who became a top model and who is now supposedly romantically linked to american comedian Sandra Bernhard. - Baywatch is probably still the most popular show on the planet, so it isn't that strange that Yasmine Bleeth who plays Catherine Holden in the show, makes an entrance in this list. An actress since she was 6 months old, talk about somebody who has been in the business all her life! - Saskia Reeves is our second reference to insects in this list, since she stars in "Butterfly Kiss", a road movie that also stars Amanda Plummer. Is it just me or are psychopaths and serial killers the only thing that thrillers are about these days? Movers: - Tough competition in this months chart, all the top 10 members are really interesting right now, but Jennifer Aniston managed to bet them all this month too. - No less than 4 Golden Globe winners are featured in this months list, Emma Thompson, Nicole Kidman, Neve Cambell and Sharon Stone. - Celebrity Sleuth apparently voted Elisabeth Hurley to be the sexiest women of 1996. Well, I don't know about that, but she sure is hot right now. Almost made it into the list (we'll see next month): - Trish Goff, model from USA. - Kristin Davis (Brooke Armstrong Cambell), stars in "Melrose Place". - Angela Bassett, waiting to exhale. - Salma Hayek, female Desperado. - Jennifer Jason Leigh, self destructive in Georgia.
