Quite a strange entry in at number 3. with the world cup. I wouldn’t have expected that one. Also why is everyone so obsessed with Paris Hilton……and Orlando Bloom for that matter? Am I missing something here?
Here’s Google’s official “Zeitgiest” for more such as what’s hot, current events, milestones, entertainment and sports.

Sometimes, search rankings can offer a little insight into society and offer up some kind of social commentary, too.
Interesting.
And on a more personal note, Paris Hilton has nothing going for her .. other than her money.
Put it this way: if she was serving you at a supermarket check-out, would you honestly give her a second look?
She is quite literally extra, extra ordinary…
