The Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape Game is a research project from Research Labs and O'Reilly. , The Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape Log - Search Spikes and Trends , Nickname Nightmare, Monday June 20, 2005 4:00AM PT, Bennifer!? , When celebrity love strikes, Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape follows. The latest execrable trend in high-profile relationships is to apply a "cute" nickname to the couple. These disturbing monikers have wormed their way into search over the last year or so, and it's time we called them out. Trickling from tabloids into the mainstream media, it's time to stop the madness. Or we're going to cancel our Enquirer and Star subscriptions -- and this time it's serious. Tracing this repellent trend back, we turn first to a person not part of a couple. In fact, Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape on tabloid-derived names began with one of the most infamous single men in America -- Michael Jackson (126). In order to fit his name onto more covers, tabloid headline writers resorted to a name that lent itself to plenty of 48-point permutations -- Jacko. Searches on "Jacko" did go wacko following his acquittal last week, and queries on "Wacko Jacko" surged. The trend took a disturbing turn with the omnipresent Bennifer. This overexposed handle was applied to the pairing of Ben Affleck (14) and Jennifer Lopez, and became shorthand for the celeb couple. Searches on "Bennifer" have gone the way of the Gigli-crossed lovers, despite half-hearted attempts to revive it for Affleck's current romance with Alias star Jennifer Garner (5). Similar to a joke that falls flat upon retelling, Bennifer quickly became as irritating as Lopez's singing career. We hoped the trend to blend would end there. We really did. Alas, the American public wanted more, so in the last couple of months the dreadful Brangelina (Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie) and the even more odious Tomkat (Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes) entered our lives. Searches on Brangelina outpace Tomkat by a 2-to-1 margin. But with Brad and Angelina denying a romance, while Tom and Katie do everything they can to affirm they're in l-o-v-e, we expect Tomkat will surpass Brangelina ASAP. Let's hope the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape-worthy naming trend dies with Tomkat. If not, we're holding out hope for searches on nicknames we'd like to see -- Shakibo (Shakira and Bo Bice) or Lindinem (Lindsay Lohan and Eminem). Now wouldn't that be wacko?, Doting on Dad, Saturday June 18, 2005 9:00PM PT, Father's Day , Dads, they do so much. They embarrass the teens with their choice of clothing. They amuse the little ones when they burp in fancy restaurants. They teach their sons to shave and scare the hell out of their daughters' prom dates. Such a tough job deserves some recognition -- which is what Father's Day is all about. Searches on the holiday are up 42 this week, but that's just the beginning of papa bear's love fest. Related searches are also making their annual climb, including "Father's Day crafts" (137) and "Father's Day poems" (188). Dads might want to consider that a friendly warning. Be prepared to exhibit the proper amount of awe (and "aww") when Junior hands you a macaroni picture frame accompanied by a four-line verse. Though maybe we should temper even those modest expectations. Searches on "What day is Father's Day" (321) and "date of Father's Day" both soared this week, indicating some might be a bit confused as to when the big day actually is. (It's Sunday.), So how do searches on Father's Day compare to those on Mother's Day? Not so well. In the weeks leading up to their respective holidays, the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape on Mother's Day was nearly double its archrival. But, hey, that's all the more reason to cut Dad some slack. Go ahead and compliment his sense of style and tell him his belches are becoming -- it's not easy being the man of the house. Answering Search Questions -- Very Fishy, Friday June 17, 2005 6:00PM PT, Mekong Giant Catfish , Who: Mekong Giant Catfish What: up 279 Where: free at last! And swimming down Cambodia's Mekong River. Why: on Wednesday, scientists released four critically endangered giant catfish into the wilds of the Mekong. How: as fish go, these are some big boys. Weighing between 99 and 110 pounds, they look like "toothless, upside-down" dolphins. But the future of the species is riding on their slippery backs, so keep your fingers crossed. And don't even think of getting near the Mekong with a fishing rod. Who: Downing Street Memo What: up 88 Where: languishing in London. Why: a 2002 memo written for Tony Blair portrayed the Bush Administration as gearing up for war with Iraq eight months before the invasion. The memo alleges that "intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy." How: though the briefing paper sparked an uproar in the U.K. back in May, here in the U.S. it has just begun to gain traction. Some Democrats have called for an investigation, though both Blair and President Bush deny misleading the public. Whether this one memorandum will create trouble for the White House remains to be seen. Who: Kelly Monaco What: up 160 Where: jiggling around on ABC's reality spectacle Dancing with the Stars. Why: former Baywatch babe and current General Hospital hottie has been doing her best to waltz, rumba, and jive for the judges. How: but will she be able to pass muster? And will this "homage to The Lawrence Welk Show" flounce its way up the ratings? We're still mulling a quick drop-kick to our television set. Who: New Yankee Stadium What: up 569 Where: in the Bronx, next door to the current Yankee Stadium. Why: on Wednesday the Yanks announced plans for construction of a new $800 million ballpark. How: there was some talk of the Bronx Bombers moving to Manhattan's West Side, but that's over. Now we watch as team owner George Steinbrenner hands over a chunk of change, and they begin construction. Don't count on seeing any of the current players in the new ballpark, though. The way the Yankees are going -- and given Steinbrenner's impatience -- it could be an entirely new team when the stadium opens in 2009. Who: Jenna Von Oy What: up 113 Where: trapped in re-runs on late-night cable. Why: the former Blossom co-star barely made the list of VH-1's 100 Greatest Child Stars, squeaking in at #94. Ouch. How: at least she beat out Candace Cameron from Full House. Who: Confederations Cup What: up 106 Where: in Germany, kicking the ball around. Why: two-week, eight-nation soccer tournament. How: besides hosting matches between some of the globe's best, the tourney serves as a run-up to the World Cup. Formula One Fuels Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, Friday June 17, 2005 1:00PM PT, Formula One , Racing around the world on road courses that might make a NASCAR driver blanch, the Formula One circuit powers Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape around the world. Well, except in the U.S. With interest in Formula 1 (152) Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tapein' everywhere else, we've seen a series of spikes surrounding each race. Last week's Canadian Grand Prix was no different, with searches on F1 Canada zooming out of the gate. As the circuit lands in Indianapolis this weekend for the United States Grand Prix in we expect F1 searches to rev up again. For the uninitiated, we recommend reviewing our top F1 Searches over the past week. F1, Formula One, McLaren F1, f1.com, F1 Racing, F1 News, F1 live, Ferrari F1, Planet F1, ITV F1, Interest in the drivers doesn't necessarily correlate with their place in the standings. While Juan Pablo Montoya and Michael Schumacher lag on the track, they lead the pack in search. Here are the top F1 drivers and their 2005 Championship position in parentheses:, Juan Pablo Montoya (11), Michael Schumacher (5), Fernando Alonso (1), David Coulthard (9), Nick Heidfeld (4), Feel the Beat of Reggaeton, Thursday June 16, 2005 6:00PM PT, Daddy Yankee , The nights are warm, the clubs are hopping. And we've heard the hybrid beats of reggaeton rising through the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape chart. If you haven't caught mention of this emerging sound, we're betting you will soon. Some time in the early '90s the clubs of Puerto Rico started mixing dancehall and hip-hop to create a blend they called "reggaeton." The music boasts Latin beats mixed with Jamaican dancehall (17) and Spanish-language rap --and it's rowdily popular with downtown kids at the Search box. Searches for the cross-genre sound skew overwhelmingly toward teens, and reggaeton recently pulsed its way into our top 2,000. Metros with large Latino populations are already crowding the discotheque: El Paso, Miami/Fort Lauderdale, and New York top the list of areas searching for more on the music. So where to start? Let the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape be your guide. Popular reggaeton artist Tego Calderon (aka El Abayarde) recently signed with Atlantic Records and blazed through a 30 jump in Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape. Fellow musicians Ivy Queen (5) and Daddy Yankee (9) are also hot at the Search box. Looking for a specific song to begin with? Daddy Yankee's hit "Gasolina" cruised up 31 last week. Take it for a test drive. Or opt for a more general turn of the dial: Tune in to our most popular searches -- reggaeton ringtones, lyrics, music, and videos -- and groove through the warm summer night. We'll see you out on the dance floor. Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape Takes Flight, Thursday June 16, 2005 1:00PM PT, Paris Air Show , Good afternoon, folks, this is your captain speaking. We've reached our cruising altitude of 38,000 feet so I'm gonna unlock your keyboards and turn off the "do not search" sign. If you take a look to the upper-left side of your monitor, you'll notice we're flying directly over the beautiful Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape Index. Sit back and relax because we've got lots of interesting queries to cover -- especially on airplanes and air shows. Searches are soaring on several planes I hope to fly before the airline puts me out to pasture. First is the new supersonic jet under development by France and Japan. This baby ain't your average bus with wings. It holds three times as many passengers (and non-paying infants) as the similarly swift Concorde. No doubt that bloated number of pretzel eaters will keep the flight attendants surly for the duration of any flight. Searches quickly jumped into the stratosphere, though an official name for the beast is apparently still forthcoming. Also taking off were queries on the Paris Air Show (611). A combination of flying shows and networking opportunities, the exhibition boosted interest in manufacturers Boeing (13) and Airbus (11) thanks to two models strutting their stuff on the runway. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner won't go into production until 2008, but its 66 climb in Search shows most passengers don't want to wait. Also fly, fly, flying away were searches on the Airbus A380 (11), aka the biggest dang flying contraption the world has ever seen. Can't wait to do a triple barrel roll in that one. Whoa, only kidding, folks. Jumpin' For Joyce, Thursday June 16, 2005 4:00AM PT, Bloomsday , Ready to party down for Bloomsday? Nah, we're not talking about a Bloomingdale's blow-out or Orlando Bloom's birthday bash. We're preparing to raise a glass to James Joyce's sprawling novel Ulysses and one of its main characters, Leopold Bloom. A judge once pronounced this book "dirty, blasphemous, and unreadable," and while some wholeheartedly agree with the last part of that statement, others have since named the tome one of the 20th century's best. June 16th marks the 101st anniversary of the story's beginning and Joyce fans everywhere will celebrate with readings, revelry, and pints of Guinness. OK, so the literary event hardly garners the volume of searches that crusader Orlando enjoys, but interest in "Bloomsday on Broadway" has already picked up, and Bloomsday and Joyce spike every year at this time. So we say bravo Stephen Dedalus and congrats Leopold Bloom. And to the lovely, lolling Molly Bloom we respond yes we will, yes we have, yes, yes, and yes. (Um, does a 17 jump in searches on "yes" earlier this month have anything to do with this?), As for other composers of copious paragraphs, William Faulkner has a new and very public benefactor. Oprah picked not one, not two, but three of his novels for her book club, and instantly set him soaring up sales lists and off the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape chart. Though Oprah's choice left some dumbfounded (three?), it's still curious and wonderful to see the old Southern master alongside pulp beach reads on best-seller lists. Maybe it's time to dump Dan Brown and cuddle up to some really long sentences. Iran Wrapup, Wednesday June 15, 2005 6:00PM PT, Sean Penn , If you thought the last U.S. presidential election was frenzied, how about seven candidates, a voting age of 15, and 89 female aspirants barred from the ballot? Throw in some frequently testy nuclear negotiations and an early qualification for the world's biggest sporting event, and you get Iran. You wouldn't call the place sleepy. Most consider former president and moderate Hashmei Rafsanjani the frontrunner in the Iranian presidential race, though analysts say his victory remains far from certain. Regardless, Iran-watchers have bumped him up in Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape and have pretty much ignored his competitors. Also on the rise in search, Sean Penn surfaced in Iran on assignment for the San Francisco Chronicle. The actor-turned-newsman quizzed Rafsanjani about democracy, and nearly caused more of a to-do at an illegal -- and rare -- women's protest. Penn-driven attention helped shift Iran into our top 300 searches for the week. News searches on "Sean Penn Iran," "Iran elections," and "Iran news" have also spiked. As for the little matter of the globe's favorite sport, Iran qualified for the 2006 World Cup finals last Thursday. Millions of its thrilled citizens took to the streets for a night of revelry, kicking "Iran football," "Iran soccer," and "Iran World Cup" through the goal posts of Search. Will Batman Be a Blockbuster?, Wednesday June 15, 2005 1:00PM PT, Batman Begins , With Batman Begins swooping into theaters, we find ourselves wondering -- do bat-buffs hold bat-grudges? Specifically, are fans of the caped crusader ready to return to Gotham City so soon after the horrendously lame Batman & Robin? Many (wisely) believed the 1997 Joel Schumacher-helmed train wreck, most famous for Arnold Schwarzenegger's hammy dialogue and Robin's use of "rubber lips," killed the franchise. Think again. The overwhelming Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape (and positive reviews) on Batman Begins proves disciples of the dark knight are ready to forgive and forget the previous film's reliance on codpieces to advance the plot. Holy second chance, Batman!, But perhaps beating up on Bruce Wayne's last outing isn't entirely fair. As the title of the new flick clearly indicates, this is a new beginning for Batman with a new cast, new director (Christopher Nolan), and new storyline. Sure, the molded rubber suit will be in effect and we wager a utility belt of some kind will play a part, but as for past Bats Michael Keaton, Val Kilmer, and George Clooney -- they're nowhere to be seen. Donning Batman's menacing cowl this time is Christian Bale. Interest in the square-jawed thespian has soared 190 this week and searches on his supporting cast are surging as well. Crazy-in-love Katie Holmes is up 63 and Cillian Murphy, who plays the villainous Scarecrow, has jumped 309. So how long will this renaissance of bat-Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape last? With speculation as to who will tackle the role of Joker in the sequel already starting, the sky's the limit in Search. And while any such sequel is years away, we do have one bit of advice for Nolan or whoever its director may be -- codpieces, while fun in moderation, do not necessarily equal better filmmaking. Remember that. The Heat is On, Wednesday June 15, 2005 4:00AM PT, Sunbathing , The sun is out and searches show you're caught in some blazin' Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape. Queries on "sunburn" have sizzled -- up 42 in the last week. Perhaps our searchers haven't been slathering on enough SPF? Searches on "sunburn relief," (55) "sunburn remedies," (184) and "sunburn treatments" (52) have all scorched the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape in the past week. And as if sunburn wasn't bad enough, we've also seen a spike in interest in "sun poisoning" (65). Yikes! We didn't notice any corresponding search spikes in aloe vera, but for those looking to prevent the uncomfortable red burn we recommend these top SPF searches. Sunscreen SPF, SPF Clothing, Sunblock SPF, With the increase in temperatures across the nation, folks are also looking for a cool breeze -- searches on "air conditioning" have warmed up 71. And if the heat isn't enough for you to invest in "central air conditioning" (243) you may want to join the crowd looking for relief with a "portable air conditioner" (113). If you believe overcoming the effects of the summer sun is simply mind over matter, we offer our top ice searches as the simplest way to beat the heat. Ice Cube, Iceland, Vanilla Ice, Ice Princess, Ice Cream Recipes, Dry Ice, Fairs and Festivals -- Revenge of the Funnel Cake, Tuesday June 14, 2005 6:00PM PT, Fun at the Festival , Break out the funnel cakes and grab your sunscreen, the fair is rolling into a town near you. A chance to celebrate some local pride while indulging in all manner of fried foods, the fair is a time-honored American tradition. While music festivals such as Bonnaroo (130) and Live 8 (16) are spiking this week, some of you are searching on the homespun goodness of a local state or county fair. Our top 10 fair searches might not take home the blue ribbon, but they're sure to evoke memories of bloated jaunts down a scorching-hot midway. Iowa State Fair, Orange County Fair, Del Mar Fair, San Diego County Fair, Illinois State Fair, Wisconsin State Fair, Missouri State Fair, Minnesota State Fair, Alameda County Fair, New York State Fair, Other fun fair searches outside our top 10. World's Fair, Street Fairs, Strawberry Fair, Toy Fair, Book Fairs, What if you're more the festival type? We're not sure what the "festival type" is, but festivals are just as popular as fairs this time of year. Most festivals have a unifying theme, so we foraged through the festival searches to come up with 10 festivals we wouldn't mind making time for. See you under the beer tent. Chicago Blues Festival, Montreal Jazz Festival, Gilroy Garlic Festival, Austin City Limits Music Festival, Crawfish Festival, Oregon Shakespeare Festival, Goombay Festival, Bristol Kite Festival, Chinese Dragon Boat Festival, Sasquatch Festival, The Breakup Song, Tuesday June 14, 2005 1:00PM PT, Beyonce , They say 50 of marriages end in divorce. We'd love to hear the statistic for musical groups. Destiny's Child, the trio that helped launch the uber-career of singing and acting sensation Beyonce Knowles, has officially called it quits. After the release of an eerily amicable statement explaining the split, searches on Destiny's Child jumped mightily, while interest in the ladies themselves also sashayed up the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape Hot 100. Now that the three divas are free to pursue solo interests, will fans stay interested? Time will tell, though for now, both Kelly Rowland and Michelle Williams lag far behind Ms. Knowles in Search. Good thing they're both self-proclaimed survivors -- they're gonna make it. And if divorce is inevitable in music acts, so are reunions. Fractured '70s super-group Pink Floyd (163) is reuniting for Bob Geldof's (387) Live 8 (208). Searches on the band rose 140, while interest in former malcontent frontman Roger Waters (2867) also rose to (comfortably) numbing heights. Floyd's widely split fan base is one of the more interesting stories surrounding their recent surge in Search. The band's strongest support comes from 13- to 17-year-olds and 35- to 44-year-olds indicating disillusioned teens love 'em, then they move on to something else, then something happens (probably parenthood), and back the fans flock to the dark side of the moon. , It's Only Natural, Tuesday June 14, 2005 4:00AM PT, Volcano of Fire , These days Mother Nature seems to be taking her cues from a pulpy monster mag. Over the past weeks we've seen Godzilla-like eruptions from south of the border, a deadly rust-colored blob oozing through the waters of the Northeast, the rattling of quakes in California and Chile, and as if we needed one more thing the ominous threat of a hurricane. All of this has slithered, erupted, rattled, and stormed its way through the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape. , First, a fire-breathing monster rumbles back to life in western Mexico. The "Volcano of Fire" spewed lava and ash across the land and sparked six stunning eruptions in the past weeks. "Volcano" and "Colima volcano" poured over the Search box as the world gaped at pictures of late-night explosions and billowing smoke. , And then, the menacing onslaught of the blob. As the toxic red tide (196) spreads through the waters of New England, it has closed down shellfishing from Maine to Massachusetts, forced thousands of shellfisherman out of work, and rendered the clams and mussels uneatable. (Leaving The New York Times to declare these "dark days for the fried clam.") The governor of Massachusetts has declared the red tide a disaster, and we spotted searches pouring in from across the northeastern U.S. with Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Maine topping the list. , At this point, we get the shakes. A moderate temblor in southern California on Sunday and a fearsome quake in northern Chile late Monday both shook the Search box. We saw extraordinary spikes in earthquakes (2,263) and "U.S. Geological Survey" (1,350), and an upheaval of interest in earthquake maps, "California earthquakes," and "earthquake center." , And, finally, just the threat of a fiendish hurricane blew astonishing things through Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape. "National Hurricane Center" spiked 6,160 over the past week, "hurricane center" jumped 3,099, and "Tropical Storm Arlene" blustered up thousands of searches. Luckily, Arlene ushered in "wind, rain, and little else" leaving us relieved not to relate one more monstrous tale (and forcing us, for once, to be grateful for merely bad weather). , Searches on Jackson Soar , Monday June 13, 2005 6:00PM PT , Michael Jackson , The self-proclaimed King of Pop managed to walk (if not moonwalk) out of court scot-free after his acquittal on charges of child molestation. Searches on "Michael Jackson," "Michael Jackson Verdict," and "Jackson Verdict" all soared today as curious onlookers flocked to the Web for news on the outcome. After it was announced that the jury had reached a verdict, searches on the embattled singer jumped to the top of the charts and held steady for hours. We also saw a huge bump in searches on "Court TV" and "Drudge Report" thanks to those looking for news on the goings-on in the California courtroom. , As the jury deliberated, queries on Jackson soared throughout the week up 63 and into our top 50 search terms. Searches spiking over the past week included "Michael Jackson Trial News" (383), "Michael Jackson Case" (163), and "Michael Jackson Trial" (185). Those looking for the man behind Neverland were split equally between the sexes, but did skew a little older likely because most people under-17 don't know him as a hit maker, but rather as a curiosity. , Speculation swirled about where Jackson might end up were he convicted of the charges. We saw spikes from the past week for what was rumored to be a likely destination Corcoran State Prison and its extremely segregated Protective Housing Unit. Searches on some of the more infamous residents of that wing, including Dana Ewell, Juan Corona, and Charles Manson, also soared as pundits wove scenes of Jackson's life behind bars. , With interest in the Jackson trial red hot today, we're sure to see a wealth of trial-related spikes in the coming days. You can bet your bubbles we'll be there to document them. Reality TV Second Act, Tyra Banks , If you thought reality TV shows would never succeed as repeats and simply go the one-and-done route, you may want to brace yourself. VH1 has made reality reruns a staple of its programming diet (think Surreal Life) and found success this weekend with America's Next Top Model. A replay of the diva-licious trainwrecks first season in marathon format sent searches on the reality runway hit up 249. Even though the suspense has strutted off, it seems the rampant cat fighting, backbiting, and sashaying of beautiful women never go out of style. Top Model hostess Tyra Banks was up 15, runner-up Elyse Sewell spiked 542, and queries on first season champ Adrienne Curry jumped 248 as couch potatoes whiled away their weekend with reality repeats. , Recycling reality programming is a trend growing in Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape from CNBC recycling The Apprentice to Fear Factor finding a home on FX. Mega Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape hits Survivor and The Amazing Race recently struck deals to run in repeats on cable networks. It'll be interesting to see if repeats of these reality favorites can match the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape garnered by the willowy walkers of Top Model, Tyson's End? , Monday June 13, 2005 4:00AM PT , Mike Tyson , Can a boxer ever really retire? George Foreman and Muhammad Ali couldn't escape the allure of the ring, and even Larry Holmes continues to ply the fistic trade years after past glories. And another former heavyweight champ, Mike Tyson, has answered boxing's siren call. , Tyson has been a sideshow since his release from prison in the mid-'90s. And although fight fans have sworn they'd never purchase another Tyson event he still manages to attract fans and Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape. His ability to whip up Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape was still apparent during the press conference before the fight. His boasts, threats, and non sequiturs delivered in a trademark high-pitched lisp still manage to create a fascinating trainwreck. Fans looking for some of his past wisdom caused a spike in searches on "Mike Tyson Quotes." , But our most Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape-worthy boxer may be at the end of the line. Searches on Tyson jumped 152 this week as he prepped for his return to the ring to fight previous unknown Kevin McBride. He even managed to lift searches on the sport of boxing by 20. But Irish eyes weren't smiling on the former Iron Mike, as Tyson's boxing career came to ignominious end when he didn't leave his corner to take more punishment from McBride in the seventh round. , Related queries delivering an uppercut to the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape on fight night included: , Tyson McBride Fight (485) , Tyson Fight (328) , Mike Tyson Fight (242) , Tyson vs. McBride (221)

Tarantino Brings Heat to CSI , Friday May 20, 2005 6:00PM PT , Marg Helgenberger , The season finale of CSI offered quite a flourish at the finish. Searches on America's favorite procedural drama jumped 201% following the dramatic end of season five. The two-hour episode, directed by Kill Bill auteur Quentin Tarantino (+114%) brought a filmic quality to the fairly pat forensic investigation and drew season highs in the ratings. Buzz on the actors involved in the finale also jumped -- with searches on bedeviled and buried investigator George Eads up 163%. Lead duo Marg Helgenberger (+203%) and William Peterson (+110%) were both boosted by Tarantino's crossover ep. Even the fire ants that invaded Eads' coffin smoldered in the Search box. , Who's searching on CSI? Our investigation turned up a few leads and most of them were dames. Two-thirds of queries on the show come from women, and the crime solving drama skews older in search. One-quarter of CSI searches come from the 35-44 bracket -- which seems appropriate for a 10 pm show. But last night's stunt direction might have brought some of the Tarantino faithful into the fold, a nice sign for the network looking to attract twenty-somethings to the show. , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, Further analysis in our buzz lab gave us the top CSI related searches... , CSI Spoilers , CSI Episode Guide , CSI Season Finale , -, Political Wrapup -- Filibuster This! , Friday May 20, 2005 1:00PM PT , Filibuster Fight , Politics makes for strange bedfellows -- and so does the Buzz Log, where we often see amusing political juxtapositions in the top movers. For instance, this week "Wendy's finger" (+63.93%) narrowly outmaneuvered both President Bush (+63.83%) and Alan Greenspan (+63%) in search movers. Bill Clinton (+123.23%) cozied up to "Shakira video" (+123.13%) -- well, perhaps that's not so strange. Anyway, political stories also play out in a much larger way across Buzz. Here's a round-up of the top news-makers sneaking their way up search... , You can't open a paper without reading about the Senate's filibuster (+135%) brawl. The two judges garnering the most attention on Capitol Hill -- Priscilla Owen (+367%) and Janice Rogers Brown (+145%) -- both surfaced in Buzz for the first time this week. Amazingly, even U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals made the top 500 movers with a 129% jump. , Meanwhile, Los Angeles sauntered into the Buzz with its final mayoral showdown, complete with all the elements of a classic Western shoot-out: Long-time rivals, a whiff of corruption, and the whole City of Angels watching on. The victor, Antonio Villaraigosa, won by a landslide and soared 210% in Buzz. Politicos sent "Los Angeles mayor" up 197%, searches on "Los Angeles mayoral race" jumped, and defeated incumbent James Hahn shifted into our top 2,000 searches. , We also noted George Galloway (+93%) and Galloway (+170%) popping up this week. The combative British Member of Parliament was in Washington, D.C., Wednesday to defend himself against allegations of kick-backs in the oil-for-food (+22%) scandal. In the process, the fiery politician kicked up a whole new furor in front of a Senate panel. , Finally, a drama from up North broke through the search border. Belinda Stronach, a Canadian Member of Parliament, shocked Canucks when she unexpectedly crossed the House floor to Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, switch her party affiliation from Conservative to Liberal. Even her down-in-the-dumps, one-time beau Peter MacKay, who is a member of the rejected Conservatives, admitted he'd had no inkling of her impending political conversion. Needless to say, searchers were entranced -- both Stronach and MacKay spiked at the Search box. , -, Stacking Up Sandwich Searches , Friday May 20, 2005 4:00AM PT , Yummy Sandwich , Just give us two pieces of bread and a little something in between. The humble sandwich (+11%) moved up a bit in searches yesterday, and we don't know whether to attribute it to hunger or simply a desire to make a better bite to eat. Whatever the case, it inspired us to munch on the top sandwich searches over the past week. What we found might not surprise you, but it'll surely get you in the mood for lunch... , Tea Sandwiches , Cucumber Sandwiches , Finger Sandwiches , Chicken Salad Sandwich , Reuben Sandwich , Monte Cristo Sandwich , Panini Sandwich , Egg Salad Sandwich , Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich , Cuban Sandwich , Tuna Sandwich , Pulled Pork Sandwich , The first three sandwich results indicate that we're right in the middle of bridal shower season -- where delicate food reigns supreme. While we're saddened the grilled cheese sandwich barely missed out on our top dozen, we understand melted cheese and copious amounts of butter don't make a dainty dish. , -, Idol Recap -- Bo Goes Badlands , Thursday May 19, 2005 6:00PM PT , Bo and Carrie , It's down to two. After buzz-packed weeks filled with incorrect phone numbers, judging turmoil, and a campaign to vote for the worst contestant, American Idol has wound up with a final duo that's no surprise to viewers. Searches on the show jumped 209% after last night's elimination episode and will only continue to build as we head into next week's finale. , After the show, searches surged on "American Idol Tickets" (+232%) as true believers tried to score passes to next week's sing-off at the Kodak Theater. Other Idol-related spikes included "American Idol Final Two," "American Idol Tour," and "American Idol Spoilers." , Vonzell Solomon was shown the door last night and searches on the bubbly "Baby V" jumped 141% in response. While she didn't win the whole shebang, her charming personality and strong voice leave her future as bright as the suits favored by her dapper dad. While the American Idol Message Boards (+404%) weren't flooded with outrage over Vonzie's ouster, they were inundated by happy fans of mic-totin' rocker Bo Bice. , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, Bo may have sealed victory with an unconventional performance that blew away the judges. Choosing to sing a cappella, Bo reached deep and brought the crowd to its feet with a soulful rendition of "In a Dream" by Badlands. After viewers finished clapping and hollering, they set out to find out more about the obscure tune Bo chose to bring down the house. Searches on "Badlands," "Badlands Band" and "Badlands In a Dream" all jumped into the thousands as Idol watchers turned to the Web for answers. Diligent research shows Badlands was an '80s metal act formed by associates of Ozzy Osbourne who "never managed to connect with the era's generally fickle, image-conscious fans." Idol exposure has piqued interest in the long-forgotten band and it'll be interesting to see if Bo single-handedly sparked a Badlands revival. , Searches on Bo jumped 202% and the long-haired Southern gentleman kicked off his shoes and basked in our top 500 searches. He's receiving about twice as many searches as his finals foe, Carrie Underwood. Queries on the countrified but bland Underwood jumped 75% and she managed to create ripples of buzz on Air Supply and Shania Twain. , Will Bo be tied to the "Whipping Post" by the judges? Will voters leave Carrie "Alone"? Next week's buzz-filled extravaganza will finally reveal all. , -, Natural Disaster Predictions? , Thursday May 19, 2005 1:00PM PT , Hurricane Winds , We saw huge spikes in searches when hurricanes struck the southeastern U.S. last year. Now, a top forecaster gloomily predicts another tempestuous season of storms off the Atlantic Seaboard and the Gulf Coast. This leaves us worrying: Can Florida withstand another hurricane? To see if we can anticipate anything coming our way, we look to what's whirling or shaking in search. , With news of the report, "hurricanes" and "major hurricanes" roared up in buzz. Unsurprisingly, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas top the list of states seeking storm news. "2005 hurricane season" has been on the rise in search for months; while "National Hurricane Center" and "hurricane shutters" rank as perennial favorites. If 2004 was any predictor, we will also see a gale of searches on videos, pictures, and forecasts. But of course, the most attention will be reserved for whichever hurricane decides to bluster its way across land. While we're looking this way, we see that some storms never die. "Hurricane Andrew," "Hurricane Ivan," and "Hurricane Charley" continue to wreck havoc in search -- they're the three most popular hurricanes blowing across the Search box. , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, Meanwhile, in another part of the country all too familiar with natural disasters, scientists in California launched a website that shares real-time data on the likelihood of a temblor. Apparently, the page will help to predict aftershocks. Those in the quake-zone appear unperturbed: "Earthquakes" slid 20% in buzz yesterday, and "California earthquakes" is down 54%. For now, we can only wait and wonder what Mother Nature has up her sleeve , -, Gingerly Handling the Truth , Thursday May 19, 2005 4:00AM PT , Britney and Kevin , Celebrities intent on staying in the public eye have some options. A scandalous affair is a popular choice and one that guarantees plenty of press. Others chase endorsements and become highly paid hucksters for cell phones and perfume. And more than a few bid adieu to dignity and broadcast their private lives on television. Paris, Ashlee, Anna Nicole -- they've all done it with varying degrees of self-humiliation. Well, move over ladies, 'cause Britney aims to one up all y'all with the help of hubby/houseboy/former backup dancer Kevin Federline in their new show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic. , Searches on the show, who's title presumably refers to the pair's always on-the-go lifestyle, jumped 229% and into our top 50 movers. It overcame premiering on UPN (+162%) - the network of broken dreams. While some may scoff at the show's popularity in Search, not to mention the lame "Can you handle our truth?" tagline, questions must be asked. Namely, why would anyone want to watch grainy video footage of K-Fed? No, really, why? Do the queries come from pop culture aficionados who know a so-bad-it's-terrible trainwreck when they see one? We'll never know the level of irony in these searches, but perhaps that's appropriate. 'Cause if we did know the truth, something tells us we probably couldn't handle it. , -, Newsweek Article Stirs Searches , Wednesday May 18, 2005 6:00PM PT , Protest in Indonesia , Over the past week, word of Newsweek's report on the alleged desecration of the Koran at the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay spread like wildfire across the Web. The controversy sparked all kinds of searches as people went online to find out what was going on. Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, For many, first awareness of the story seemed to come with the tragic reports of Afghanistan's deadly anti-American protests in reaction to the claim that Islam's holy book had been defiled. Searches on "Newsweek" jumped 158% yesterday as the magazine shifted into full damage control mode. "Afghanistan," "Guantanamo," and "Newsweek Koran" also rose in buzz. Searches on Michael Isikoff, one of the authors of the report, leapt from a flat line into the thousands. (By the way, you've heard of Isikoff before - he broke the story on Monica Lewinsky.) , Newsweek first expressed regret for the story and then retracted it altogether. Following the retraction, searches on "Newsweek apologizes" rose 89%. We also saw increased interest at the Search box in "Koran," "Qur'an," and "Koran desecration." The story doesn't end there. Pakistan called the magazine's retraction "not enough," Michael Isikoff promised to pursue the controversy, and The Washington Post predicted that repercussions from these allegations will "long resonate." As the highly charged story plays out, we're sure it will resonate through search as well. , -, Sony Strikes Back , Wednesday May 18, 2005 1:00PM PT , PlayStation 3 , Oh, what a week to be a 35-year-old male living in your parents' basement! First, Revenge of the Sith hits theaters, giving you a chance to break out your seldom-worn Grand Moff Tarkin outfit. And then, as though the moons of Endor were smiling down upon you, Sony grants gamers a surprise look at its PlayStation 3. Life hasn't been this sweet since Mom bought you that case of Pop-Tarts. , Putting down our toaster pastry just long enough to check out the buzz surrounding the PS3, we found searches on Sony's latest entry in the ever-escalating video game wars jumped 42%. That figure's sure to bounce even higher once news and footage from the E3 gaming conference hits the Web. Not to engage in speculation on a topic as important as video games, but the sheer number of related searches on the PlayStation 3 indicates it may be the console to beat. Everything from "specs" to "screenshots" to "release date" jumped following the system's unveiling. Astute gamers who've been fooled by fakes in the past sent searches on "real PlayStation 3 pictures" soaring. , Another telling term scoring points in search is "Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3." Pick a side, folks, because the lines are drawn. Time will tell who the victor is, though it's never wise to count out Nintendo. The Buzz on their "Revolution" console is also picking up steam, rising 260% this week. Sweet merciful Mario -- that's three, count 'em three, new systems coming soon to a basement near you. Hey, Ma, we're gonna need more Pop-Tarts down here! , -, Snuffing the Torch on Palau , Wednesday May 18, 2005 4:00AM PT , Ian Rosenberger , Is Ian the dumbest Survivor contestant ever? Did Katie deserve the beating she took at the final tribal council? Did Coby really name his daughter after a Vegas showgirl? And why is Stephenie so damn tan? , These questions were top-of-mind for Survivor: Palau fans as the tenth installment of the reality TV stalwart drew to a close this past Sunday. While a worthy -- if bland -- Tom Westman won six of seven jury votes, your next-day search queries cast the Buzz in another direction. Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, This season's final four, ranked by search spikes, has much-maligned Katie Gallagher lighting your torch: , Katie Gallagher (+1,329%) , Tom Westman (+811%) , Jennifer Lyon (+728%) , Ian Rosenberger (+408%) , Looking ahead, the next Survivor locale sparked interest in Buzz, as searchers yearned to learn about the mystical country of Guatemala. Searches on "Maya Empire" jumped, while "Survivor Guatemala" traveled 796% higher. , And finally, as always, scent of a rumor or a scandal set the Search box aglow. Queries on "Julie Berry and Jeff Probst" were up 407%, as Survivor fans wondered if their newly mullet-haired host was still dating the 24-year-old former contestant. Looking for newer love, queries also rose on "Ian and Katie relationship" and the generic "Survivor Couples." , Seeking a soul mate, adventure, or just a million dollars before taxes? So were many others who sent searches on "Survivor Application" up 419%. Good luck, Godspeed, and please -- wear sunscreen. , -, Sober Virus Spawns Spam , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, Tuesday May 17, 2005 6:00PM PT , Virus Fighting , Is your inbox an absolute mess? Many folks returned to their email from a relaxing weekend to find a flood of cryptic messages with subject lines in German. Searches on "German Spam" jumped 321% yesterday as users tried to figure out why messages with subject lines like "Dresden 1945," "Trotz Stellenabbau," and "Vorbildliche Aktion" were cluttering their email. The cause of this massive mail mess was a variant of the oh-so-pesky Sober Virus which first reared its head online in late 2003. Titled Sober.q, this new menace spawned search spikes in "Sober," "Sober Virus" and "Sober.q" throughout the day. We tracked down other top virus searches circulating around the Web and here's what we found... , Anti Virus , Virus Protection , Virus Scan , Virus Removal , Virus Detection , And if you're not fighting the spread of viruses on your computer, you might be doing battle with a worm. These slimy creatures also wiggle their way into the Buzz from time to time.

Last year, one painting by Pollock sold for $11.65 mill at auction. (However, there don't appear to be plans to sell these works.) , Who: Winky Wright, What: up 108%, Where: in Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden on Saturday night., Why: Boxer Ronald "Winky" Wright went up against Felix "Tito" Trinidad and won., How: the fight was widely viewed as mismatched, with the odds going to Trinidad, so Wright's stunning win -- and courtly bow at the end -- had the crowd screaming for Winky. , Who: Stewardess Stripped , What: up 83%, Where: hanging soon on cockpit walls everywhere., Why: 2006 calendar featuring current and former flight attendants in "various states of undress.", How: disgruntled United Airlines employees timed the sexy calendar's release to coincide with a recent court ruling to end the airline's pension plan. , -, Sith Searches Spike , Tuesday May 17, 2005 4:00AM PT , Revenge of the Sith , The final chapter of the Star Wars (+172%) saga is nearing theaters and its buzz is impressive -- most impressive. With positive reviews popping up in print and online, searches are exploding on the saga, not to mention its cast, characters, soundtrack, videogames, action figures...the list doesn't end. Take pretty much any word, put "Star Wars" in front of it, and odds are it's being searched on by somebody, somewhere. Trust us. , Even though Episode III isn't yet out, fans are already looking for the newest residents of a galaxy far, far away. Which character will become a household name this time around? Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, In The Phantom Menace it was Jar Jar Binks, arguably the biggest comedic misfire since The Day the Clown Cried. In Attack of the Clones it was Count Dooku, smooth talking lackey to Darth Sidious. Now, in Revenge of the Sith, General Grievous is the star of the show. Searches on the Jedi-smokin' half-man, half-machine are up 101% this month. If creator George Lucas' (+48%) history of liberal licensing continues, expect Grievous to get his own breakfast cereal and reality show (possibly opposite Kevin Federline) in the near future. , Despite Lucas' repeated claims that this is the last Star Wars film, his faithful fans have sent searches on Episode VII up 103%. Give it up, folks. It ain't happening. Also buzzing are dueling stars Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor -- though the Force is strongest with Natalie Portman (+100%). M'lady's surging search count is likely due to her shocking new 'do which she recently showed off at Cannes (+683%). , Of course, people don't love Star Wars for the actors or their ability to say "m'lady" with a straight face. Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape, They love it for the wookiees, the droids, and most of all, the bad guys. Our list of the top 20 searched Star Wars heroes and villains should end any arguments over who really rules the galaxy.

We wanted to see which beaches were tops in searches and with summer ready to unleash its full sun, we looked to the Buzz to guide us to the hottest seaside destinations. Searches on "beach camping" are up 35% with web denizens set to light a bonfire of buzz. Those looking for sweltering sands -- but not necessarily tent sites -- sent searches on "tropical beaches" up 10%. And maybe it was other deskbound daydreamers who inched beach pictures up 8%.

We never thought we'd go back to the well so soon. But, like a creepy stalker who just won't take no for an answer, you, the searchers, have forced our hand. So strike up the violins and break out the harp -- it's time for yet another look into Romance: Hollywood style. , Our first stop on our triumphant tour of love is the Caribbean island of St. John, where Renee Zellweger (+400%) and country crooner Kenny Chesney (+308%) recently tied the knot. Naturally, interest in the happy couple jumped in a bout of post-nuptial bliss, but those searches paled in comparison to the surging buzz on one of Chesney's tunes. In a cornball tactic worthy of the most lovesick teenager, Chesney actually proved his devotion to Zellweger long before they ever met with his "You Had Me from Hello." Yep, inspired by Zellweger's character in Jerry Maguire (+204%). , Also booming in buzz are searches on Cameron Diaz (+32%). The former Charlie's Angel and confirmed lover of nature finds herself a popular search term indeed due to a rumored tryst amid the bushes with a non-famous (yawn) but married (oh, snap!) man. Diaz's formidable army of lawyers and publicists Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , has denied the story (originally published in a British tabloid), calling it "false and salacious." Mmm, salacious. , Finally, one-time "it-girl" Mena Suvari (+873%) is getting a divorce. Searches on the all-American star of American Pie, American Beauty, and American Virgin rose from sea to shining sea. Now that she's available, perhaps a lonely country singer will pen a ditty dedicated to her performance as a cheerleader in Sugar & Spice. If only somebody had actually seen it. , --, The Dish on Diets , Friday May 13, 2005 1:00PM PT , Scrumptious Salad, Hardly a day goes by that we don't encounter a new study telling us a certain diet works, or another diet stinks -- or just informing us how fat we're getting. Okay, enough already! But still, diets seem to be an unavoidable part of modern life -- at least here in the pudgy U.S. (New rule: No more about the oh-so skinny French women). Now, Consumer Reports, best known for its car reviews and toaster tests, has waded into the Great American Diet Debate with its own appraisal of weight-loss programs. Being curious, and in no less need of dropping a few pounds than the next pizza lover, we compared the Consumer Reports list with each diet's search status. Which diets prove the most popular on the Search box scale? , Weight Watchers, the reigning no-longer-heavyweight champion, tops both lists. Fans of the weekly meetings and point system pushed the diet plan up in Buzz yesterday and also kept "Weight Watchers recipes" and "Weight Watchers points" ranking high as two of our perennially sought-after health searches. At this point, our list diverges from the Consumer's study. South Beach, playing the good-carb bad-carb role, comes in second in our list, but goes unranked by Consumer Reports. (The magazine doesn't rate four diets in its study due to lack of clinical data.) And Atkins (yum, cheese) pulls in third with searchers, but comes in last with the magazine. Finally, we hate to break it to Dean Ornish, but it looks like the vast majority of folks aren't hungering for the ultra-low-fat lifestyle; "Dean Ornish" and "Ornish diet" weigh in very low in search popularity. , Here's the rest of the list. The number in parentheses indicates where each plan fell in Consumer Reports' analysis. , Weight Watchers (1) , South Beach Diet (unrated) , Atkins (5) , Jenny Craig (unrated) , Zone Diet (3) , Slim-Fast (2) , eDiets (unrated) , Ornish Diet (4) , Volumetrics (unrated) , --, NASCAR at Night , Friday May 13, 2005 4:00AM PT , Stewart and Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR's zooming into the bright lights of prime time with its race this weekend at Richmond. Racing at night adds an extra element of buzz to the sport that continues to increase its lead in search. The circuit's currently burning rubber in our top 5 sports searches and it's doing donuts around the traditional big four of pro sports. , We took off our restrictor plate and took a right turn with NASCAR searchers to see what else they were looking for online. Top affinity searches for NASCAR include drivers Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, Rusty Wallace, and Jeff Gordon. Sites devoted to NASCAR news also rank high in overlap amongst NASCAR queries -- thatsracin.com and Jayski both top our affinity list. , This week's Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , venue, the Richmond International Speedway is also spiking in searches, up 59% as NASCAR faithful make the trek to Virginia. We looked at other top NASCAR searches and here's what we found zooming up the charts. NASCAR Tickets , Fantasy NASCAR , NASCAR Schedule , NASCAR News , NASCAR Jackets , NASCAR Pictures , NASCAR Diecast , NASCAR Apparel , --, Idol Recap -- Federov's Finale , Thursday May 12, 2005 9:00PM PT , Vonzell Solomon, Searches on American Idol continue apace as it heads into its final weeks. Queries on the show doubled after the remaining four sang tributes to the songs of Nashville and Philadelphia. Two-thirds of the search audience is still women, and the show isn't picking up any buzz from the teen crowd -- over one-quarter of queries are from the 35-44 age bracket. , The drama offstage continues to cover the show with a hazy cloud of allegations and whispers of conspiracy. Searches on Corey Clark dropped 47% yesterday, but his presence was still obvious as Ryan Seacrest made a vague allusion to the scandal in his intro. Paula received a long round of applause from the crowd, but she slipped back into her befuddled persona this week. The middle judge had trouble forming a cohesive sentence and seemed addled by the undue attention. Coming on the heels of a rumored meltdown at SNL, Paula's problems just won't go away. , Drama carried over to the Idol stage this week after Paula (in a moment of clarity) probed Vonzell after the contestant finished her first song. Something was amiss with Vonzell and she broke down in a flood of tears. What Paula was referring to remains a mystery -- but searchers did their best to find some answers. Queries on "What Happened to Vonzell,"Vonzell Solomon Crying," and "Why Was Vonzell So Upset" all graced our Search box. , Not gracing our Search box (nor the phone lines) enough, Anthony Federov received the long-awaited boot from the show. After barely hanging on as contestants deemed stronger fell by the wayside, Federov stepped up his singing, but interest in the young crooner didn't rise to Carrie or Bo levels. , Here's how the final three contestants stack up in Buzz. As a bonus we're providing some interesting related searches on each of them. , Carrie Underwood -- (Carrie Underwood Alone, Carrie Underwood Photos, Carrie Underwood Videos) , Bo Bice -- (Bo Bice Whipping Post, Bo Bice Arrest, Bo Bice Tattoo) , Vonzell Solomon -- (Vonzell Solomon Family, Vonzell Solomon Gossip, Vonzell Solomon Mother) , --, That's Hot! , Thursday May 12, 2005 1:00PM PT , Eva Longoria, Hot chicks (or "attractive women") may not have been the reason the Internet was invented, but they inspire enough searches to keep our servers humming 365 days a year. The randy lads at Maxim Magazine recently put out their annual "Hot 100" list, and we weren't surprised to see searches on their picks rise like the tempers of spoiled starlets who didn't make the cut. , Laying claim to the top spot was the anything but desperate Eva Longoria. Calling the honor "incredible," searches on the ravishing resident of Wisteria Lane boomed across the Buzz. This year's runner-up was the equally fetching Evangeline Lilly of Lost. Searches on the killer castaway quickly rose 155%. With the top two positions going to stars of ABC shows, the alphabet network is quite literally the hottest network in town. , We took a look at Maxim's list to see who among their top 100 gets the most love in the Buzz. Here are the the twenty most searched-on babes -- in parentheses are their ranks according to Maxim's esteemed group of editors. On your marks, get set, commence ogling! , Ciara (35) , Paris Hilton (20) , Angelina Jolie (7) , Jessica Simpson (9) , Beyonce (17) , Lindsay Lohan (4) , Christina Aguilera (16) , Avril Lavigne (36) , Ashanti (13) , Jennifer Garner (3) , Jessica Alba (5) , Jennifer Aniston (88) , Katie Holmes (22) , Natalie Portman (42) , Eva Longoria (1) , Jennifer Love Hewitt (32) , Halle Berry (41) , Pamela Anderson (40) , Christina Milian (30) , Salma Hayek (34) , --, Have You Seen Tut's Face? , Thursday May 12, 2005 4:00AM PT , King Tut, The boy king was about 19 years old when he died, with a small chin, pointy head, and feminine features. Possibly. Three teams of scientists revealed Tuesday what King Tutankhamun, the young pharaoh of ancient Egypt, might have looked like the day he breathed his last, some 3,300 years ago. Using CT scans and facial reconstruction techniques, the teams worked independently of each other to build models of the Egyptian monarch's face. Interest in the famous mummy and the pictures of his mug jumped at the Search box: "King Tut" spiked 379% in buzz and "King Tutankhamun" soared into the hundreds. "King Tut pictures" and "CT scan King Tut" also rose, and an image of Tut's countenance ranks as one of our most-emailed Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , news photos. , Of course, by this time, we can't get that Steve Martin Saturday Night Live song out of our heads ("King Tut! How'd you get so funky? Funky Tut!"). With master comic timing, the white-haired star also surfaced in the news with word that he will receive the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. Martin's been down in buzz, but we're holding out hope for a resurgence as people keep thinking about that funky Tut. If you also can't get enough of the most-known mummy, look for the traveling exhibit of treasures from Tut's tomb coming to the U.S. this June. , Here are some of our popular searches looking to walk (and search) like an Egyptian: , Ancient Egypt , Egyptian gods , Egyptian pyramids , Egyptian hieroglyphics and Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape with

Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape After buzz-packed weeks filled with incorrect phone numbers, judging turmoil, and a campaign to vote for the worst contestant, American Idol has wound up with a final duo that's no surprise to viewers. Searches on the Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape - show jumped 209% after last night's elimination episode and will only continue to build as we head into next week's finale. , After the show, searches surged on "American Idol Tickets" (+232%) as true believers tried to score passes to next week's sing-off at the Kodak Theater. Other Idol-related spikes included "American Idol Final Two,"American Idol Tour," and "American Idol Spoilers." , Vonzell Solomon was shown the door last night and searches on the bubbly "Baby V" jumped 141% in response. While she didn't win the whole shebang, her charming personality and strong voice leave her future as bright as the suits favored by her dapper dad. While the American Idol Message Boards (+404%) weren't flooded with outrage over Vonzie's ouster, they were inundated by happy fans of mic-totin' rocker Bo Bice. , Bo may have sealed victory with an unconventional performance that blew away the judges. Choosing to sing a cappella, Bo reached deep and brought the crowd to its feet with a soulful rendition of "In a Dream" by Badlands. After viewers finished clapping and hollering, they set out to find out more about the obscure tune Bo chose to bring down the house. Searches on "Badlands,"Badlands Band" and "Badlands In a Dream" all jumped into the thousands as Idol watchers turned to the Web for answers. Diligent research shows Badlands was an '80s metal act formed by associates of Ozzy Osbourne who "never managed to connect with the era's generally fickle, image-conscious fans." Idol exposure has piqued interest in the long-forgotten band and it'll be interesting to see if Bo single-handedly sparked a Badlands revival. , Searches on Bo jumped 202% and the long-haired Southern gentleman kicked off his shoes and basked in our top 500 searches. He's receiving about twice as many searches as his finals foe, Carrie Underwood. Queries on the countrified but bland Underwood jumped 75% and she managed to create ripples of buzz on Air Supply and Shania Twain. , Will Bo be tied to the "Whipping Post" by the judges? Will voters leave Carrie "Alone"? Next week's buzz-filled extravaganza will finally reveal all. , --, Natural Disaster Predictions? , Thursday May 19, 2005 1:00PM PT , Hurricane Winds, We saw huge spikes in searches when hurricanes struck the southeastern U.S. last year. Now, a top forecaster gloomily predicts another tempestuous season of storms off the Atlantic Seaboard and the Gulf Coast. This leaves us worrying: Can Florida withstand another hurricane? To see if we can anticipate anything coming our way, we look to what's whirling or shaking in search. , With news of the report, "hurricanes" and "major hurricanes" roared up in buzz. Unsurprisingly, Louisiana, Florida, and Texas top the list of states seeking storm news. "2005 hurricane season" has been on the rise in search for months; while "National Hurricane Center" and "hurricane shutters" rank as perennial favorites. If 2004 was any predictor, we will also see a gale of searches on videos, pictures, and forecasts. But of course, the most attention will be reserved for whichever hurricane decides to bluster its way across land. While we're looking this way, we see that some storms never die. "Hurricane Andrew,"Hurricane Ivan," and "Hurricane Charley" continue to wreck havoc in search -- they're the three most popular hurricanes blowing across the Search box. , Meanwhile, in another part of the country all too familiar with natural disasters, scientists in California launched a website that shares Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape and real-time data on the likelihood of a temblor. Apparently, the page will help to predict aftershocks. Those in the quake-zone appear unperturbed: "Earthquakes" slid 20% in buzz yesterday, and "California earthquakes" is down 54%. For now, we can only wait and wonder what Mother Nature has up her sleeve , --, Gingerly Handling the Truth , Thursday May 19, 2005 4:00AM PT , Britney and Kevin, Celebrities intent on staying in the public eye have some options. A scandalous affair is a popular choice and one that guarantees plenty of press. Others chase endorsements and become highly paid hucksters for cell phones and perfume. And more than a few bid adieu to dignity and broadcast their private lives on television. Paris, Ashlee, Anna Nicole -- they've all done it with varying degrees of self-humiliation. Well, move over ladies, 'cause Britney aims to one up all y'all with the help of hubby/houseboy/former backup dancer Kevin Federline in their new show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic. , Searches on the show, who's title presumably refers to the pair's always on-the-go lifestyle, jumped 229% and into our top 50 movers. It overcame premiering on UPN (+162%) - the network of broken dreams. While some may scoff at the show's popularity in Search, not to mention the lame "Can you handle our truth?" tagline, questions must be asked. Namely, why would anyone want to watch grainy video footage of K-Fed? No, really, why? Do the queries come from pop culture aficionados who know a so-bad-it's-terrible trainwreck when they see one? We'll never know the level of irony in these searches, but perhaps that's appropriate. 'Cause if we did know the truth, something tells us we probably couldn't handle it. , --, Newsweek Article Stirs Searches , Wednesday May 18, 2005 6:00PM PT , Protest in Indonesia, Over the past week, word of Newsweek's report on the alleged desecration of the Koran at the U.S. detention camp at Guantanamo Bay spread like wildfire across the Web. The controversy sparked all kinds of searches as people went online to find out what was going on. For many, first awareness of the story seemed to come with the tragic reports of Afghanistan's deadly anti-American protests in reaction to the claim that Islam's holy book had been defiled. Searches on "Newsweek" jumped 158% yesterday as the magazine shifted into full damage control mode. "Afghanistan,"Guantanamo," and "Newsweek Koran" also rose in buzz. Searches on Michael Isikoff, one of the authors of the report, leapt from a flat line into the thousands. (By the way, you've heard of Isikoff before - he broke the story on Monica Lewinsky.) , Newsweek first expressed regret for the story and then retracted it altogether. Following the retraction, searches on "Newsweek apologizes" rose 89%. We also saw increased interest at the Search box in "Koran,"Qur'an," and "Koran desecration." The story doesn't end there. Pakistan called the magazine's retraction "not enough," Michael Isikoff promised to pursue the controversy, and The Washington Post predicted that repercussions from these allegations will "long resonate." As the highly charged story plays out, we're sure it will resonate through search as well. , --, Sony Strikes Back , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , Wednesday May 18, 2005 1:00PM PT , PlayStation 3, Oh, what a week to be a 35-year-old male living in your parents' basement! First, Revenge of the Sith hits theaters, giving you a chance to break out your seldom-worn Grand Moff Tarkin outfit. And then, as though the moons of Endor were smiling down upon you, Sony grants gamers a surprise look at its PlayStation 3. Life hasn't been this sweet since Mom bought you that case of Pop-Tarts. , Putting down our toaster pastry just long enough to check out the buzz surrounding the PS3, we found searches on Sony's latest entry in the ever-escalating video game wars jumped 42%. That figure's sure to bounce even higher once news and footage from the E3 gaming conference hits the Web. Not to engage in speculation on a topic as important as video games, but the sheer number of related searches on the PlayStation 3 indicates it may be the console to beat. Everything from "specs" to "screenshots" to "release date" jumped following the system's unveiling. Astute gamers who've been fooled by fakes in the past sent searches on "real PlayStation 3 pictures" soaring. , Another telling term scoring points in search is "Xbox 360 vs. PlayStation 3." Pick a side, folks, because the lines are drawn. Time will tell who the victor is, though it's never wise to count out Nintendo. The Buzz on their "Revolution" console is also picking up steam, rising 260% this week. Sweet merciful Mario -- that's three, count 'em three, new systems coming soon to a basement near you. Hey, Ma, we're gonna need more Pop-Tarts down here! , --, Snuffing the Torch on Palau , Wednesday May 18, 2005 4:00AM PT , Ian Rosenberger, Is Ian the dumbest Survivor contestant ever? Did Katie deserve the beating she took at the final tribal council? Did Coby really name his daughter after a Vegas showgirl? And why is Stephenie so damn tan? , These questions were top-of-mind for Survivor: Palau fans as the tenth installment of the reality TV stalwart drew to a close this past Sunday. While a worthy -- if bland -- Tom Westman won six of seven jury votes, your next-day search queries cast the Buzz in another direction. This season's final four, ranked by search spikes, has much-maligned Katie Gallagher lighting your torch: , Katie Gallagher (+1,329%) , Tom Westman (+811%) , Jennifer Lyon (+728%) , Ian Rosenberger (+408%) , Looking ahead, the next Survivor locale sparked interest in Buzz, as searchers yearned to learn about the mystical country of Guatemala. Searches on "Maya Empire" jumped, while "Survivor Guatemala" traveled 796% higher. , And finally, as always, scent of a rumor or a scandal set the Search box aglow. Queries on "Julie Berry and Jeff Probst" were up 407%, as Survivor fans wondered if their newly mullet-haired host was still dating the 24-year-old former contestant. Looking for newer love, queries also rose on "Ian and Katie relationship" and the generic "Survivor Couples." , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , Seeking a soul mate, adventure, or just a million dollars before taxes? So were many others who sent searches on "Survivor Application" up 419%. Good luck, Godspeed, and please -- wear sunscreen. , --, Sober Virus Spawns Spam , Tuesday May 17, 2005 6:00PM PT , Virus Fighting, Is your inbox an absolute mess? Many folks returned to their email from a relaxing weekend to find a flood of cryptic messages with subject lines in German. Searches on "German Spam" jumped 321% yesterday as users tried to figure out why messages with subject lines like "Dresden 1945,"Trotz Stellenabbau," and "Vorbildliche Aktion" were cluttering their email. The cause of this massive mail mess was a variant of the oh-so-pesky Sober Virus which first reared its head online in late 2003. Titled Sober.q, this new menace spawned search spikes in "Sober,"Sober Virus" and "Sober.q" throughout the day. We tracked down other top virus searches circulating around the Web and here's what we found. , Anti Virus , Virus Protection , Virus Scan , Virus Removal , Virus Detection , And if you're not fighting the spread of viruses on your computer, you might be doing battle with a worm. These slimy creatures also wiggle their way into the Buzz from time to time. Here are the top worm queries for the past week. , Worm Sober.s , w32.spybot.worm , Worm Sober.p , Sasser Worm , Blaster Worm , --, Answering Search Questions , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , Tuesday May 17, 2005 1:00PM PT , NCAA Softball, Who: NCAA Softball, What: up 216%, Where: college campuses across the U.S. , Why: Sunday saw the selection announcement for the women's college championships. , How: buzz on the game will likely continue as teams advance toward the eight-team College World Series.

Other plans include release of a DVD and video game., How: if Geena Davis can attempt a comeback, why not the little green clayboy, too? , Who: Tristan Egolf, What: up 494%, Where: in Lancaster, Pennsylvania., Why: the 33-year-old author of three novels -- most notably Lord of the Barnyard -- died May 7th of what the coroner described as a self-inflicted gunshot wound., How: many considered the novelist and political activist a rising star on the literary scene. , Who: Jackson Pollock, What: up 380%, Where: a dusty but suddenly interesting warehouse in East Hampton, Long Island., Why: a family friend of Jackson Pollock's discovered 32 previously unknown paintings by the abstract master -- 22 of them are in the famous drip-style., How: with Pollock's status as a rock star of the art world, these paintings could be worth a lot of dough. Last year, one painting by Pollock sold for $11.65 mill at auction. (However, there don't appear to be plans to sell these works.) , Who: Winky Wright, What: up 108%, Where: in Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden on Saturday night., Why: Boxer Ronald "Winky" Wright went up against Felix "Tito" Trinidad and won., How: the fight was widely viewed as mismatched, with the odds going to Trinidad, so Wright's stunning win -- and courtly bow at the end -- had the crowd screaming for Winky. , Who: Stewardess Stripped , Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , What: up 83%, Where: hanging soon on cockpit walls everywhere., Why: 2006 calendar featuring current and former flight attendants in "various states of undress.", How: disgruntled United Airlines employees timed the sexy calendar's release to coincide with a recent court ruling to end the airline's pension plan. , --, Sith Searches Spike , Tuesday May 17, 2005 4:00AM PT , Revenge of the Sith, The final chapter of the Star Wars (+172%) saga is nearing theaters and its buzz is impressive -- most impressive. With positive reviews popping up in print and online, searches are exploding on the saga, not to mention its cast, characters, soundtrack, videogames, action figures.the list doesn't end. Take pretty much any word, put "Star Wars" in front of it, and odds are it's being searched on by somebody, somewhere. Trust us. , Even though Episode III isn't yet out, fans are already looking for the newest residents of a galaxy far, far away. Which character will become a household name this time around? In The Phantom Menace it was Jar Jar Binks, arguably the biggest comedic misfire since The Day the Clown Cried. In Attack of the Clones it was Count Dooku, smooth talking lackey to Darth Sidious. Now, in Revenge of the Sith, General Grievous is the star of the show. Searches on the Jedi-smokin' half-man, half-machine are up 101% this month. If creator George Lucas' (+48%) history of liberal licensing continues, expect Grievous to get his own breakfast cereal and reality show (possibly opposite Kevin Federline) in the near future. , Despite Lucas' repeated claims that this is the last Star Wars film, his faithful fans have sent searches on Episode VII up 103%. Give it up, folks. It ain't happening. Also buzzing are dueling stars Hayden Christensen and Ewan McGregor -- though the Force is strongest with Natalie Portman (+100%). Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , M'lady's surging search count is likely due to her shocking new 'do which she recently showed off at Cannes (+683%). , Of course, people don't love Star Wars for the actors or their ability to say "m'lady" with a straight face. They love it for the wookiees, the droids, and most of all, the bad guys. Our list of the top 20 searched Star Wars heroes and villains should end any arguments over who really rules the galaxy. Read on, enjoy, and may the Buzz be with you. , Darth Vader , Yoda , General Grievous , Anakin Skywalker , Darth Maul , Princess Leia , Chewbacca , Boba Fett , Darth Sidious , Obi-Wan Kenobi , Mace Windu , Padme Amidala , R2-D2 , Palpatine , Han Solo , Luke Skywalker , Count Dooku , Jar Jar Binks , C-3PO , Lando Calrissian , --, Sandy Searches , Monday May 16, 2005 6:00PM PT , On the Beach, Cooped up in an office all day, our mind naturally drifts to visions of swaying palms and sandy locales. We wanted to see which beaches were tops in searches and with summer ready to unleash its full sun, we looked to the Buzz to guide us to the hottest seaside destinations. Searches on "beach camping" are up 35% with web denizens set to light a bonfire of buzz. Those looking for sweltering sands -- but not necessarily tent sites -- sent searches on "tropical beaches" up 10%. And maybe it was other deskbound daydreamers who inched beach pictures up 8%. Set up the chaise lounge, get out a towel, and keep the sand out of your shorts. Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , We're ready to dive into our top beach searches. Myrtle Beach , Virginia Beach , Laguna Beach , Jones Beach , Daytona Beach , Panama City Beach , Palm Beach , Miami Beach , Orient Beach , Newport Beach , Pismo Beach , Huntington Beach , Venice Beach , Rehoboth Beach , Sunset Beach , Fort Walton Beach , Redondo Beach , Vero Beach , Orange Beach , Bethany Beach , --, Walk This Way , Monday May 16, 2005 1:00PM PT , God of War, Weekends are made for gaming. At least that's what weekly search spikes on cheats and codes tell us. In another sign, queries on "walkthroughs" were up 57% over the weekend, as gamers looked for a guiding hand to lead them through their virtual world. A walkthrough is akin to a set of driving directions for a game -- it may include maps, landmarks, and hopefully, a destination. Not as popular with game searchers as, say, "cheats" or "codes," walkthroughs are gaining popularity as video games become increasingly complex. , We wanted to see which video games pounded our searchers into submission. Our look at the top dozen walkthrough searches over the past week offers some intriguing hints. , God of War Walkthrough , Pokemon Emerald Walkthrough , Doom 3 Walkthrough , Splinter Cell Chaos Theory Walkthrough , Fable Walkthrough , Kingdom Hearts Walkthrough , Resident Evil 4 Walkthrough , Final Fantasy X Walkthrough , Morrowind Walkthrough , Devil May Cry 3 Walkthrough , Jade Empire Walkthrough , Area 51 Walkthrough , --, Buzz on Bubble Shows , Monday May 16, 2005 4:00AM PT , Arrested Development, It's time for networks to decide which shows are coming back for another season and which shows are consigned to the chopping block. Pilots for new shows are prepped and a select few will earn some buzz later on this year. But for every new show joining the sked, an old one must pass. , Petitioning fans weren't enough to save Star Trek: Enterprise from oblivion and high-brow HBO had to pull the plug on the convoluted Carnivale. Raymond is set to sail off into syndication and the critically adored Arrested Development might have received a reprieve. With schedule machinations as a backdrop, networks are set to present their fall slates this week. , To assist fans who are into railing against the man and saving their favorite shows, we used buzz as a barometer. Which rumored bubble shows might make the cut? Well, let's just say we hope you're not too Committed to keeping your Eyes on Quintuplets. Here's how the bubble shows stack up in searches over the last week. , Judging Amy , Joan of Arcadia , The Office , American Dreams , Arrested Development , Jack and Bobby , Blind Justice , Yes, Dear , 8 Simple Rules , Kevin Hill , Quintuplets , Life on a Stick , Bernie Mac Show , Eyes , Committed , All of Us , Listen Up , Less Than Perfect , --, A Comfy Tee , Saturday May 14, 2005 9:00PM PT , That's a Hot Tee!, While some are still trying to figure out how to make money on the Internet, the august Wall Street Journal recently highlighted an intriguing and unexpected way to make a buck on the Web. Thankfully, it doesn't involve hawking Herbalife or sending out billions of emails offering "Cheep V!ag7a." , Say hello to the humble and extremely profitable t-shirt. Searches for t-shirts are a hot topic and tee buzz spikes when a unique design manages to penetrate pop culture -- remember "Free Winona"? Right now some of the hot slogans in tee-shirt searches include. , Sith Happens T-Shirts , Vote For Pedro T-Shirts , Property of Mike Jones T-Shirts , Jesus is My Homeboy T-Shirts , I Beat Anorexia T-Shirts , Web denizens are prowling for tees not available at the local mall, and the niche market for unique tees is well served by online t-shirt vendors. Buzz on Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , t-shirts is up 8% over the last month and queries for the popular garment are fitting comfortably in our top 2,000 searches. In looking at demographics on t-shirt searches, we found that the tee breaks through the usual skew between youngsters and the over-35 crowd. Queries are also split right down the middle between guys and gals -- demonstrating that the tee is a subject everyone can agree on. , Since we know t-shirts flourish on the Web, we wanted to take a look at some of the most popular searches from the past week. Try them on and see how they fit. Custom T-Shirts , Vintage T-Shirts , Napoleon Dynamite T-Shirts , Band T-Shirts , Novelty T-Shirts , T-Shirt Hell , Star Wars T-Shirts , Airbrush T-Shirts , Rock T-Shirts , Retro T-Shirts , --, Crazy in Love With Buzz , Friday May 13, 2005 6:00PM PT , Cameron Diaz, Not long ago we wrote about celebrities finding love Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , amid the glitz and glamour of red carpets and velvet ropes. We never thought we'd go back to the well so soon. But, like a creepy stalker who just won't take no for an answer, you, the searchers, have forced our hand. So strike up the violins and break out the harp -- it's time for yet another look into Romance: Hollywood style. , Our first stop on our triumphant tour of love is the Caribbean island of St. John, where Renee Zellweger (+400%) and country crooner Kenny Chesney (+308%) recently tied the knot. Naturally, interest in the happy couple jumped in a bout of post-nuptial bliss, but those searches paled in comparison to the surging buzz on one of Chesney's tunes. In a cornball tactic worthy of the most lovesick teenager, Chesney actually proved his devotion to Zellweger long before they ever met with his "You Had Me from Hello." Yep, inspired by Zellweger's character in Jerry Maguire (+204%). , Also booming in buzz are searches on Cameron Diaz (+32%). The former Charlie's Angel and confirmed lover of nature finds herself a popular search term indeed due to a rumored tryst amid the bushes with a non-famous (yawn) but married (oh, snap!) man. Diaz's formidable army of lawyers and publicists Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , has denied the story (originally published in a British tabloid), calling it "false and salacious." Mmm, salacious. , Finally, one-time "it-girl" Mena Suvari (+873%) is getting a divorce. Searches on the all-American star of American Pie, American Beauty, and American Virgin rose from sea to shining sea. Now that she's available, perhaps a lonely country singer will pen a ditty dedicated to her performance as a cheerleader in Sugar & Spice. If only somebody had actually seen it. , --, The Dish on Diets , Friday May 13, 2005 1:00PM PT , Scrumptious Salad, Hardly a day goes by that we don't encounter a new study telling us a certain diet works, or another diet stinks -- or just informing us how fat we're getting. Okay, enough already! But still, diets seem to be an unavoidable part of modern life -- at least here in the pudgy U.S. (New rule: No more about the oh-so skinny French women). Now, Consumer Reports, best known for its car reviews and toaster tests, has waded into the Great American Diet Debate with its own appraisal of weight-loss programs. Being curious, and in no less need of dropping a few pounds than the next pizza lover, we compared the Consumer Reports list with each diet's search status. Which diets prove the most popular on the Search box scale? , Weight Watchers, the reigning no-longer-heavyweight champion, tops both lists. Fans of the weekly meetings and point system pushed the diet plan up in Buzz yesterday and also kept "Weight Watchers recipes" and "Weight Watchers points" ranking high as two of our perennially sought-after health searches. At this point, our list diverges from the Consumer's study. South Beach, playing the good-carb bad-carb role, comes in second in our list, but goes unranked by Consumer Reports. (The magazine doesn't rate four diets in its study due to lack of clinical data.) And Atkins (yum, cheese) pulls in third with searchers, but comes in last with the magazine. Finally, we hate to break it to Dean Ornish, but it looks like the vast majority of folks aren't hungering for the ultra-low-fat lifestyle; "Dean Ornish" and "Ornish diet" weigh in very low in search popularity. , Here's the rest of the list. The number in parentheses indicates where each plan fell in Consumer Reports' analysis. , Weight Watchers (1) , South Beach Diet (unrated) , Atkins (5) , Jenny Craig (unrated) , Zone Diet (3) , Slim-Fast (2) , eDiets (unrated) , Ornish Diet (4) , Volumetrics (unrated) , --, NASCAR at Night , Friday May 13, 2005 4:00AM PT , Stewart and Earnhardt Jr., NASCAR's zooming into the bright lights of prime time with its race this weekend at Richmond. Racing at night adds an extra element of buzz to the sport that continues to increase its lead in search. The circuit's currently burning rubber in our top 5 sports searches and it's doing donuts around the traditional big four of pro sports. , We took off our restrictor plate and took a right turn with NASCAR searchers to see what else they were looking for online. Top affinity searches for NASCAR include drivers Kevin Harvick, Tony Stewart, Kurt Busch, Rusty Wallace, and Jeff Gordon. Sites devoted to NASCAR news also rank high in overlap amongst NASCAR queries -- thatsracin.com and Jayski both top our affinity list. , This week's Britney Spears Pictures - TomKat - Katie Holmes Pics - Paris Hilton Sex Tape , venue, the Richmond International Speedway is also spiking in searches, up 59% as NASCAR faithful make the trek to Virginia. We looked at other top NASCAR searches and here's what we found zooming up the charts. NASCAR Tickets , Fantasy NASCAR , NASCAR Schedule , NASCAR News , NASCAR Jackets , NASCAR Pictures , NASCAR Diecast , NASCAR Apparel , --, Idol Recap -- Federov's Finale , Thursday May 12, 2005 9:00PM PT , Vonzell Solomon, Searches on American Idol continue apace as it heads into its final weeks. Queries on the show doubled after the remaining four sang tributes to the songs of Nashville and Philadelphia. Two-thirds of the search audience is still women, and the show isn't picking up any buzz from the teen crowd -- over one-quarter of queries are from the 35-44 age bracket. , The drama offstage continues to cover the show with a hazy cloud of allegations and whispers of conspiracy. Searches on Corey Clark dropped 47% yesterday, but his presence was still obvious as Ryan Seacrest made a vague allusion to the scandal in his intro. Paula received a long round of applause from the crowd, but she slipped back into her befuddled persona this week. The middle judge had trouble forming a cohesive sentence and seemed addled by the undue attention. Coming on the heels of a rumored meltdown at SNL, Paula's problems just won't go away. , Drama carried over to the Idol stage this week after Paula (in a moment of clarity) probed Vonzell after the contestant finished her first song. Something was amiss with Vonzell and she broke down in a flood of tears. What Paula was referring to remains a mystery -- but searchers did their best to find some answers. Queries on "What Happened to Vonzell,"Vonzell Solomon Crying," and "Why Was Vonzell So Upset" all graced our Search box. , Not gracing our Search box (nor the phone lines) enough, Anthony Federov received the long-awaited boot from the show. After barely hanging on as contestants deemed stronger fell by the wayside, Federov stepped up his singing, but interest in the young crooner didn't rise to Carrie or Bo levels. , Here's how the final three contestants stack up in Buzz. As a bonus we're providing some interesting related searches on each of them. , Carrie Underwood -- (Carrie Underwood Alone, Carrie Underwood Photos, Carrie Underwood Videos) , Bo Bice -- (Bo Bice Whipping Post, Bo Bice Arrest, Bo Bice Tattoo) , Vonzell Solomon -- (Vonzell Solomon Family, Vonzell Solomon Gossip, Vonzell Solomon Mother) , --, That's Hot! , Thursday May 12, 2005 1:00PM PT , Eva Longoria, Hot chicks (or "attractive women") may not have been the reason the Internet was invented, but they inspire enough searches to keep our servers humming 365 days a year. The randy lads at Maxim Magazine recently put out their annual "Hot 100" list, and we weren't surprised to see searches on their picks rise like the tempers of spoiled starlets who didn't make the cut. , Laying claim to the top spot was the anything but desperate Eva Longoria. Calling the honor "incredible," searches on the ravishing resident of Wisteria Lane boomed across the Buzz. This year's runner-up was the equally fetching Evangeline Lilly of Lost. Searches on the killer castaway quickly rose 155%. With the top two positions going to stars of ABC shows, the alphabet network is quite literally the hottest network in town. , We took a look at Maxim's list to see who among their top 100 gets the most love in the Buzz. Here are the the twenty most searched-on babes -- in parentheses are their ranks according to Maxim's esteemed group of editors. On your marks, get set, commence ogling! , Ciara (35) , Paris Hilton (20) , Angelina Jolie (7) , Jessica Simpson (9) , Beyonce (17) , Lindsay Lohan (4) , Christina Aguilera (16) , Avril Lavigne (36) , Ashanti (13) , Jennifer Garner (3) , Jessica Alba (5) , Jennifer Aniston (88) , Katie Holmes (22) , Natalie Portman (42) , Eva Longoria (1) , Jennifer Love Hewitt (32) , Halle Berry (41) , Pamela Anderson (40) , Christina Milian (30) , Salma Hayek (34) , --, Have You Seen Tut's Face? , Thursday May 12, 2005 4:00AM PT , King Tut, The boy king was about 19 years old when he died, with a small chin, pointy head, and feminine features.
