The IMDb has its new Starmeter rankings out. They rate actors by how often people look them up.A few factors skew the rankings. Kids have more time to look up stuff, which put TWILIGHT's Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart at #1 and #2, not to mention a bunch of other secondary characters in the top #25. I'm pretty sure Ashley Greene isn't actually a bigger star than Leo DiCaprio.Also, people look up actors when they have no idea who they are. Which might account for Tom Cruise's relatively low ranking (#18). Way more people go to see his movies, but who needs more information about him?In other words, this is a distracting and misleading metric. Ah, well. You get what you pay for.
