Salma Hayek

AGE: 32

WHY SHE'S AN INTERNET STAR: Fans of this Mexican beauty applaud her healthy (not stick-thin) proportions and look forward to seeing her in roles more complex than those she had in From Dusk 'Til Dawn and Wild Wild West--such as tht of artist Frida Kahlo (a role Madonna coveted) in an upcoming biopic that Hayek has long had in development.

NUMBER OF SITES DEVOTED TO HER: More than 60

OFFICIAL SITE: None

QUIRKIEST SITE: The Salma Hayek verus Friedrich Hayek Scorecard It's a comparison between the actress and the free-market economic philosopher.

SAMPLE ONLINE ACCOLADE: "Quite possibly the most beautiful woman in Hollywood today. Someday she'll star in a movi that's worthy of her talent and glamour."

ODDESST 'FACT' CIRCULATING ON THE NET: She wore a fake prosthetic penis that she unleashed as a joke during the filming of her love scene with Breckin Meyer in 54.

MOST PUZZLING SITE: The Beauty Made Woman

BRIEF ENCOUNTER: "I saw her at the De La Hoya-Mosley fight in L.A. and introduced myself to her and Edward Norton. Salma is more the speaker of the two. It totally blew my mind that I was talking to the 25th sexiest woman in the world."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: Is there bad blood between Salma Hayek and Jennifer Lopez? Are she and Edward Norton a good couple?
