What do Hayden Panettiere, Al Gore and OJ Simpson have in common?
No, Hayden and Al weren’t secretly involved in OJ’s Las Vegas farrago. At least, I don’t think they were. Instead, the three occupy the top slots on this week’s Lycos 50 Biggest Movers and Shakers search queries chart.
Heroes star Hayden and Eco guru Al have seen searches for them rocket by 1600% apiece, thanks to the the US debut of the new series of Heroes, and Al’s appearance before the UN to discuss climate change. OJ? Well, you know why he’s of interest to the internetweb hordes.
YouTube Video of the Day – Britney Spears VMA spoof
Every so often, something takes YouTube complete storm. At the moment, Britney Spears’ performance at the MTV VMA awards is subject to the most ridicule. Here’s just one of many videos taking the mickey.
Opinion: Why is MTV not spreading the Britney Spears VMA video far and wide?

Seen Britney’s shambolic performance at the MTV VMA awards yet? If not, and you’re outside the US, you’ll be hard-pressed to watch it. Why? Well, MTV has the footage on its website, but it says it’s “not accessible”, which I think is because I’m outside the US.

YouTube Video of the Day – Britney Spears' MTV VMA comeback doesn't go to plan
YouTube isnt just great for cool stuff. It’s also great to see videos of people falling apart. The latest celeb to find their mind-a-wanderin’ is poor ol’ Britney Spears who, after her comeback performance at the MTV VMAs, has found herself named ‘the worst performance in history’. Terrible lip-synching, dazed bumbling around stage, vacant expression. It’s a classic!
Opinion: Britney Spears' Gimme More single shows the positive side of internet leaks
Stuart Dredge writes…Heard Britney’s new single yet? It’s ace. No, really. It’s called ‘Gimme More’, and it’s just leaked onto the internetweb, via the website of a New York radio station.
It’s already all over YouTube. Not too long ago, this would’ve sent her record company bananas with piracy-fearing rage, threatening lawsuits on anyone who ever came into contact with the track. But ‘Gimme More’ is actually a prime example of the importance of these ‘leaks’ to the music industry, especially when it comes to Big Comebacks.
Why? Well, Britney is benefiting from ‘Gimme More’s online ubiquity for several reasons…
Good news Britney! Laser combs can cure baldness
Personally, I think Britney looks pretty fetching with her hair shaved off. Maybe she just fancied a change. That said, I normally weep for 20 minutes AFTER I go for a hair cut, not before. Anyway, the good news for…
