Search Gainers:

Topless photos leaked online of actress Megan Fox (#1), recently named “Sexiest Woman in the World” for 2008 by Maxim Magazine, help drive Fox to the top spot on this week’s Lycos 50. Meanwhile, an apparent teen pregnancy boom at Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Mass., causes a spike in search activity for the school, gaining 300 percent following national coverage in TIME Magazine. Of the 17 teen students who are expecting babies, TIME reports the students opted into a pact to get pregnant and raise their children together, although the Gloucester Superintendent of Schools and the Mayor of Gloucester claim they have no confirmation or proof such a pact exists. And in other teen pregnancy news, search interest in actress Jamie Lynn Spears, best known as little sister to Britney, and star of the Disney Channel’s “Zoey 101,” sees a 500 percent bump after giving birth last week to a baby girl. Finally, if web search activity is any indication, “America’s Got Talent” is the big winner with web users this summer, gaining 470 percent in search popularity over the past week.
