WALTHAM, Mass., July 8 (UPI) -- Lycos Inc. said Friday the No. 1 search term for the week ended July 2 was "Poker."
Each week the search engine releases a Top 50 of the most popular Internet search terms.
A new celebrity sex scandal made its debut on The Lycos 50 this week. Rapper Eve (#8) made a first-time appearance in search results with everything related to Eve up almost 1,000 percent. A 30-second intimate sex video was released online, featuring the female rapper/actress and her ex-boyfriend producer Stevie J.
Representatives for Eve, just 21 years old when the video was made, said she was devastated, claims to not know how the video was leaked, and has actually hired a detective to track down the culprit.
Eve is added to the long list of other celebrities with an infamous video, including Web superstars Paris Hilton (#4), Pam Anderson (#3), Cameron Diaz, Fred Durst and Gena Lee Nolin.
Following his death last week, legendary R&B singer Luther Vandross (#21) is back on the list. He was previously a topic of discussion on The Lycos 50, with rumors flying and queries surging in April 2003 after he suffered a stroke.
The Lycos Top 10 search terms for the week ending July 2 were: Poker, Britney Spears, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, NBA, Dragonball, Pokemon, Eve, Kazaa, and Diets.
