Well, there are enough fave lists to make Oprah nauseous.  In a few months, after I transition into 2009, I will come up with some follow up lists.  Actually, I feel that people who come up with these lists, like, "Top 100 Hottest Chicks" and "Top 100 Hottest Maxim Chicks" need to get a life.  Or maybe, I should eat my own words.
