Britney Spears

Love her or hate her, Britney Spears fascinated people in 2007 with the disgraced pop princess heading a list of the top 10 searches on Yahoo! again.
Spears, who turned 26 on Sunday, continued to draw attention as she shaved her head, attacked a photographer's car with an umbrella, went to rehab, fought with ex-husband Kevin Federline over the custody of their two sons, and released her first album in four years.
"The searches would spike every time she was back in the news," Vera Chan, senior editor at Yahoo! said.
Spears has topped the annual Yahoo! list for six of the past seven years, only losing out once -- in 2004 -- to her friend and fellow party girl Paris Hilton.
Hilton, however, was slipping in the search list until May when she was sentenced to 45 days in jail after violating her probation on a previous traffic offense.
She ended up at No. 3 on the list from No. 5 last year.
Actress Lindsay Lohan, who also spent 84 minutes in jail for a drunken driving and cocaine-possession, came sixth in the search list, up from No. 10 last year.
The No. 2 search, unchanged from last year, was for WWE, World Wrestling Entertainment, with a lot of interest in the death of professional wrestler Chris Benoit who killed his wife and son then hanged himself.
Naruto, the Japanese manga series, came fourth in the list.
Online gaming took two slots in the list for the first time with the free multi-player game RuneScape at No. 7 and Fantasy Football at No. 8.
But it wasn't only falling celebrities who won attention.
Singer Beyonce Knowles came fifth in the list, up from No 7. last year, as she continued to build her business empire and singer Fergie came in at No. 9.
Jessica Alba arrived on the list at No. 10, helped by being named magazine FHM's "2007's Sexiest Woman in the World."
Off the list? Jessica Simpson dropped off, as did Pamela Anderson, Shakira and hip hop's Chris Brown. American Idol was no longer a top search which Chan attributed to the show concentrating more on celebrities than wannabe stars.

你喜歡她也好，討厭她也罷，不管怎樣，“小甜甜”布蘭妮都在過去一年中吸引了眾人的眼球，這位顏面盡失的昔日流行天后今年再次奪得雅虎“十大熱門搜索榜”冠軍。
布蘭妮上周日剛滿26歲。這一年來，她因剃光頭、用傘砸攝影記者的車、幾次進出戒療所、與前夫凱文?費德林爭奪兩個兒子的監(jiān)護權以及四年來首發(fā)新專輯繼續(xù)吸引著人們的注意。
雅虎的高級編輯Vera Chan說：“只要她一上新聞，搜索量就會猛增。”
在過去七年中，“小甜甜”六次奪得雅虎年度搜索榜冠軍，僅在2004年讓位于她的好友、派對女郎帕麗斯?希爾頓。
希爾頓的搜索量在今年5月之前一直下滑，之后她因在酒后駕車案緩刑期內(nèi)違規(guī)駕駛而被判處45天的監(jiān)禁，使其搜索量又有所回升。
今年，希爾頓從去年的第五位上升到了第三位。
影星林賽?洛翰今年因酒后駕車和攜帶咖啡因入獄84分鐘，她在搜索榜上的排名從去年的第十位上升到了第六位。
排在熱門搜索榜第二位的仍是去年的美國職業(yè)摔跤（WWE），職業(yè)摔跤手克里斯?貝諾伊特的死吸引了眾多關注。他殺死了自己的妻子和兒子，然后上吊自殺。
日本動畫片《火隱忍者》名列第四。
網(wǎng)絡游戲今年首次躋身雅虎十大熱門搜索榜，免費聯(lián)眾游戲“江湖”和“夢幻足球”分別名列第七位和第八位。
但并不只是沉淪的明星才會受到關注。
仍忙于打造自己商業(yè)“帝國”的歌手碧昂絲?諾里斯從去年搜索榜的第七名上升至第五名，歌手菲吉位居第九。
杰西卡?奧爾巴位居搜索榜第十位，這主要得歸功于她被FHM雜志評為“2007年全球最性感女人”。
今年落榜的明星包括杰西卡?辛普森、帕梅拉?安德森、夏奇拉和嘻哈大師克里斯?布朗。“美國偶像”也不再是熱門搜索，據(jù)Vera Chan分析，這主要是因為這個選秀節(jié)目現(xiàn)在更側(cè)重于名人，而并非想成名的人。
