Former WWE Diva Trish Stratus (Search Ranking Position 1) achieves her highest rank ever, topping the Lycos 50 this week, jumping ahead of web darlings Paris Hilton (Search Ranking Position 5), Britney Spears (Search Ranking Position 7) and Pam Anderson (Search Ranking Position 8). 

Stratus’ most recent project is her new reality show “Stratusphere,” currently in production and scheduled to air in August on the Travel Channel.

Controversy and cries of racism continue to swirl around the April cover of Vogue Magazine, featuring basketball star Lebron James and supermodel beauty Gisele Bundchen, sending search activity soaring 654 percent for Vogue.

The Vogue cover, shot by legendary photographer Annie Leibovitz, depicts James in a King Kong-esque pose, hoisting a very damsel-like Bundshen into the air.  Critics of the cover see the photo of James, the first black man to appear on the cover of Vogue, as perpetuating the image of the aggressive black man, and worse, mimicking King Kong.

Meanwhile, search activity increased threefold for actress Demi Moore who shot up the search logs this week following a recent appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” (promoting her new movie “Flawless”) where Moore announced she’s a huge fan of a detox treatment called leech therapy and the movie “21″ hit the jackpot at the weekend box office and scores hands down with web users, up 322 percent in online interest.
