Although it may not seem so, THE LIST IS BASED ON A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE OF THINGS. Newcomers in this months chart: - Mariah Carey has as you all know by now at last split up with her older husband Tommy Mottola. This could be the beginning of something really interesting. Meanwhile, you can listen to her new single "Honey". - The best paid supermodel in the world is still Claudia Schiffer. In fact, there is no real competition anymore, since she is almost making twice as much money as the second best paid supermodel Cindy Crawford. - If you saw the MTV Movie Awards show a couple of months ago, you could see Renée Zellweger introduce Jewel by saying that in fact many people thought Renée was Jewel. And the two women do indeed look a bit alike. Anyway, Jewel has been on the US album chart for over a year now with her "Pieces of you", so I guess it was finally time to honour her with an entry on this list. - This list is to some extent influenced with what you as a reader think, since you can nominate a woman that you think should be on the list. One of the women who has received the most nominations in the last months is Gina Gershon, who made a brief appearance on the list in the beginning of the summer. Now she's back, all thanks to you and she is definetely a fashinating woman who deserves to be listed... Movers: - "G.I. Jane", a k a Demi Moore is the new number one on this month's list. It is always a pleasure to have a strong, independent woman topping the list and Demi is perhaps Hollywood's most interesting actress in the last years. "Striptease" may have flopped, but now she makes a comeback with "G.I. Jane" and shows once again why she should be the best paid actress in the world. See also the comment below on why Demi is the new number one. - If you for once would ask women who they think is the sexiest woman in the world, what would they answer? Now we know the answer, since Shape Magazine conducted a survey on that issue. The result was a bit surprising. Demi Moore is the sexiest women in the world, followed by Cindy Crawford, Michelle Pfeiffer, Gabby Reece, Pam Anderson Lee, Sophia Loren(!), Sharon Stone, Raquel Welch, Sandra Bullock and Madonna. A question comes to mind, would they ever had asked men who they think is the sexiest man in the world? Don't think so, homophobia is still pretty much a happening thing... - I hate to bring this news to you, but Elle MacPherson is in fact three months pregnant by her boyfriend Arki Busson. I guess that means that she is now definetely not available anymore plus she'll loose the figure that made her "the body" at least for a while. Meanwhile, congratulations, Elle! 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. - Sarah Michelle Gellar, a k a "Buffy the vampire slayer". - 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". 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.
