March 2008 Buzz
by Vera H-C ChanApr 1, 2008
Madness doesn't even begin to describe the buzz in March. The tale of the apparent do-gooder brought down by his own wire transfers thrilled gossip-seekers, political newshounds, and calcified "Law & Order" scribes. However, it was Ashley Alexandra Dupre—alternatively know by searchers as "kristen" and "spitzer prostitute"—who burned up computer networks.
The "miss bimbo" query wasn't another Dupre alter ego, though you'd be forgiven for thinking so. Instead it refers to a U.K. website that lets kids play with a virtual doll... including buying her breast implants. And, in a month given over to the Beatles on reality TV shows and iTunes rumors, John Lennon's ex released a book about her arranged mistress-dom.
March wasn't all lust... It was also about basketball, politics and a Bear Stearns market. Celebrity babies came due, and while most people checked to see how mama was doing, a rare papa (Gabriel Aubry) got some online attention as well. Here are just some of the other searches that moved fast in this mad, mad, mad, mad month.
