US Magazine has put out another one of those quite weird lists, this time the 2007 Hot Hollywood Power Players. I’ve questioned the use of rankings before but in this one I really wonder what their ranking criteria are.

Focussing on the younger women on the list we can see Miley Cyrus, Vanessa Hudgens, Amanda Bynes and Jamie Lynn Spears. They also included the Cast of Heroes (which makes the list even stranger) which also includes Hayden Panettiere. The Heroes show will lose a lot of support this year I think, the show seems to be overhyped a bit right now. So not that Hot Hollywood at the end of this year I think.

I can understand why they put Miley Cyrus and Vanessa Hudgens on the list; they’re having a good run with the younger crowd right now. Amanda Bynes is on there because of the success of Hairspray and because she is completely scandal free which the press likes these days.

Why put Jamie Lynn Spears on the list? Her sister isn’t exactly helping with her problems; she herself even had a pregnancy scare. The only thing she has going right now is her TV show Zoey 101, besides that she isn’t really doing anything. Compared to other shows on TV the show isn’t doing that great, if you compare it to her competition on that list she loses by a mile to Miley Cyrus. I really wouldn’t rate her as a power player.

I’m just starting to think they put this list together so they could invite these people to a party. If you put them on a list like that you’ll have a bigger chance of them coming than just inviting them. I can’t see any concrete criteria to how these girls were ranked in that list.
