Internet Movie Data Base (IMDB), the site for movies, TV, celebrities and more, Dec 21 unveiled the top 25 stars of 2006 as determined by the site’s STARmeter, which ranks celebrities’ popularity among IMDB’s more than 42 million unique monthly visitors.

Johnny Depp, the 2004 and 2005 winner, once again generated the most fan interest this year, followed by headline-making couple Angelina Jolie (No. 2) and Brad Pitt (No. 4), as well as Hollywood beauties Jessica Alba (No. 3) and Scarlett Johansson (No. 5).

Dropping slightly in the rankings this year were gossip column regulars Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton, sliding to the No. 7 and No. 9 spots respectively.

Other notable drops in rank include Keanu Reeves, Eva Longoria, Robert De Niro, Vin Diesel, Jon Heder of ‘Napoleon Dynamite’ fame, and Nicole Kidman, who all lost their spots in the IMDb.com STARmeter Top 25 this year.

Newcomers to the top 25 in 2006 include Jake Gyllenhaal (No. 17), Zac Efron from High School Musical (No. 19), Heath Ledger (No. 21), Bruce Willis (No. 23) and Reese Witherspoon (No. 24).
