The Buzz Log What’s hot on Yahoo! Buzz™ (and why)...

With Nancy Pelosi presiding over the House of Representatives and former First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton making a bid for the White House, women are in the news. Naturally, that made us curious about the state of girl power… and "girl" searches. While "Dreamgirls" leads the girl clique clicks, here are the top gals creating Buzz all by their lonesome.

1. "The Girl Next Door"—As in Elisha Cuthbert and her comic turn as a wholesome porn star. The return of "24" may have prompted the movie nostalgia, although the soundtrack remains a constant favorite.


2. Girl Scout—Really, the interest in this girl group is for their baked goods: "girl scout cookies" get more than twice the searches than the scouts themselves.


3. Daddy's Little Girl—The subject of Bobby Burke's wedding standard, and one of three of Tyler Perry's latest crew.


4. Barbie Girl—The top-heavy doll merited a song that won suspect acclaim, although the ditty struck a First Amendment victory and got itself remixed.


5. "My Girl"—Known before for delivering sunshine on a cloudy day, and also a sentimental movie favorite with Macauley Culkin.


6. American Girl dolls—Historical, educational, and mini role models, they're almost as good as Oscar statuettes.


7. Jungle girl—She may or may not be an 8-year-old Cambodian girl missing for 19 years—but DNA may soon tell.


8. Cover Girl—This girl is older women who are girlish at heart, like their latest model, Queen Latifah.


9. Dirty Girl—Wash your mind with soap for your initial thoughts…this girl's all about bubble baths, lip balms, and mud kits.


10. Lonelygirl15—The New Zealander is lonely no more, what with would-be Idols making visits and a gold star from Forbes.


11. "My Little Girl"—She's the subject of Tim McGraw's paternal serenade, sung in his first starring role.


12. "That Girl"—The '60s single girl was part of TV's independent female lineage that continued in the '70s with Mary Tyler Moore, and recently got some overdue props.


13. BarlowGirl—Three sisters come together as one, and made Christian rock history with their needy song.


14. Emo Girl—The underground music gal with poetic angst and bangs to match—and those hairstyle searches ensure the latest cut.


15. Hollaback Girl—Gwen Stefani ain't yours, but you love her 2004 song anyway.
