Although it may not seem so, THE LIST IS BASED ON A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE OF THINGS. Newcomers in this months chart: - The Emmys were held as usual in September. Speaking of as usual, most of the nominations were the same as last year, so there were no big surprises in store. Anyway, there were a few nice surprises. Gillian Anderson won an award for best leading actress in a drama series and Kim Delaney won the award for best supporting actress in a dram series. The nicest surprise of all was however that the ever so talented Kristen Johnston won an Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy series. Kristen is by the way the woman who plays Sally in "3rd Rock from the Sun". Way to go Kristen... - Sarah Michelle Geller is perhaps the girl who has received the most nominations to this list lately. Sarah stars as "Buffy" in the TV series "Buffy the vampire slayer". The movie "Buffy..." came out already back in 1992 and then starred Kristy Swanson as Buffy and no other than Beverly Hills cool guy(?) Luke Perry as Pike. Sarah is about to star in the sequel to "Scream", something which also newcomer Courteney Cox will do. Courteney has not been on the list for over a year now, but is at last back. That means that all three girls of "Friends" once again are featured on the list, which is nice considering how great that show still is. - Fiona Apple is one tough cookie... At the MTV video music awards she did not look all that happy when she won an award for best new artist. She instead talked about how important it was to be yourself and not take after your idols. Kind of cool, although the host of the awards ceremony had to make a joke about it afterwards. I suspect that Fiona is not all that flattered to be featured on this list as well... - Finally, yet another comeback by an actress who received an Emmy. Helen Hunt won an Emmy for best actress in a comedy series and it is not more than fair to feature her on the list after that. Movers: - The new number one is the "Honey" Mariah Carey, who just has released her new album "Butterfly". Mariah looks hotter than ever and her single "Honey" is doing very well all over the world, so Mariah does definetely deserve to be the new number 1. - Another women who is doing really well in the music biz is Jewel who now seriuosly has started to conquer Europe as well. Jewel is currently doing some touring and she is set to do a number of accoustic gigs in Europe in the near future. - Time for this months Spice Girls gossip. At a benefit auction recently, all five Spice Girls sold one of their outfits. The price of the different dresses clearly showed which of the Spice Girls who were the most popular. Geri's dress cost almost twice as much as the secon most expensive dress, which had belonged to Emma. The rest of the girl's dresses did not at all as much money as Geri's and Emma's so now we know who the audience likes the most... Almost made it into the list (we'll see next month): - Meredith Brooks, who claims she is a "Bitch". - Yasmeen Ghauri, is it perhaps time for a comeback on the list for her? - Kathy Ireland, the always so popular All-American supermodel. - Sophie Marceau, due to appear in several new films this year. - Stephanie Seymour, one of the hottest supermodels. - Anna Kournikokva, who scores big time on the tennis court. - Veronica Ruiz de Velasco, Mexican beauty and painter. - Yancy Butler, hot actress, who you can for instance see in "The Ex". - Janet Jackson, back with a new single and a new album. Comments, nominations, etc. are as always welcome. Just remember that a nomination such as "Ms. x should be in because of her big hooters" hardly will be taken seriously.
