Although it may not seem so, the list is based on a European perspective of things. Newcomers in this months chart: - Nikki Taylor has finally made it into this chart, even though she does not get as much publicity in Europe as in USA. Anyway, the idea of letting in a mother of twins on the list is very appealing. - Michelle Gayle, a beautiful singer/actress from UK certainly deserves to be on the list. A charming young lady with one of the hottest music videos showed in MTV Europe in the last half year. - Bridget Fonda has made it back into the charts after being away for a few months. The Fonda kid has definitely made it on her own now. - Raquel Welch, a woman in her mid-fifties is part of the trend of "older" women, making it in Hollywood. Sad though that plastic surgeons seems to be the ones that benefit most from this trend, it is still not accepted to look your own age. - Justine Frischmann, singer and front woman of Elastica, the pop group that went straight in at #1 in the UK album charts with their debut album. Not exactly what you would call a looker, but that is well compensated by her charisma and her ability to get the media's attention, something which also is rewarded in this chart. - Julia Roberts is back! Since she left Lyle, the world has become her oyster. Let's see if she can do something of it this time, her recent choices of roles have been far from satisfying. Movers: - Funnily enough this months chart is dominated by supermodels or former supermodels. This coincides with statements a few months ago from among others Suzy Monkis, fashion editor in the Inter- national Herald Tribute, saying that the supermodels era now has come to an end. We don't think so.... - We have a new number 1, Miss (or is it Mrs. now?) Claudia Schiffer. Is she together with the Davester or not? Well who cares, really... She deserves the number 1 spot anyway. - Elle McPherson have we seen a lot of recently so its only fair that she makes the climb to number 2. - Laura Leighton, the lovely star of M.P. continues to shine and moves up. - Sophie Marceau has got her first part in a non french movie (she's going to start to speak english now) and will hopefully finally become a world star now. - Rosie Perez have to be the most beautiful shrew in the movie business right now (Thinking of her performances in among other films "White men can't jump" and "It could happen to you").
