In their video report they note that actors and musicians are up, while athletes are down (only Tiger Woods made the top 10). They also discuss models, comedians (e.g., Jim Carrey fell off the list for the first time in years), and the rankings of bad girls (e.g., Paris Hilton) vs good girls (e.g., Hillary Duff).

I was surprised that Madonna was so high - #3 and that Tom Cruise is still in the top 10. And notice that Brad Pitt is #5 but Angelina's way down at #14 (that must be based on money, because it seems like she's in the news a lot more than him).
