The Mediaman Website provides a description of the ?Hottest on TV? rankings.
Excerpt:
?The Hottest on TV Official Rankings uses a unique voting system that
allows website users and television viewers to cast their votes, along
with industry experts, to give an accurate indication of who are the
nation's hottest television celebrities.?
?The main element the judges will be voting on is the celebrity's
level of sex appeal to the Australian viewing public.?
?There are a lot of elements that go into the make-up of a celebrities
sex appeal, such as looks, charisma, personality, hype, freshness and
popularity. All these will be considered by the voting panel.?
?For a television personality to be eligible, the celebrity must be a
reasonably regular* presenter, panelist, actor or reporter on a
television show produced in Australia. The celebrity must also be an
Australian resident.?
?The votes from the 20 judges (10 male, 10 female) from the television
media industry across Australia will be weighted to account for 50% of
the vote, while website visitors, will make up the other 50%.?
?The industry judges will be made up of gossip columnists, television
writers, magazine editors etc. This will ensure that a portion of the
vote is coming from people whose job it is to stay in touch with who
and what is hot on our television screens.?

Australia Conquers Hollywood
?There's a new A-list in town, and Tom Cruise isn't on it. Neither is
Brad Pitt, Ben Affleck or Julia Roberts. This list is exclusively for
stars from a place south of the equator--known for its marsupials and
fuzzy little bears--who've left their homeland to conquer the highest
echelons of stardom. From the Oscars to the box office, from
eight-figure paydays to celebrity hookups and breakups, no other
foreign country has ever dominated Hollywood the way Australia does
today, and there's no end in sight to the invasion.?
List of biggest stars:
- Naomi Watts
- Hugh Jackman
- Heath Ledger
