Ladies ruled the Buzz this weekend, thanks to their good works in politics, sports, history, and pop culture. Meanwhile, guys were either dinged up or doubted.


 
1. Aung San Suu Kyi (+28,325%)The Myanmar opposition leader's meeting with military government for the first time in over three years marked progress.
2. Danica Patrick (+7,272%)Sam Hornish Jr. left the Indy Racing League for NASCAR. The move may increase Patrick's chances of winning a race.
3. Man vs. Wild (+1,917%)After this past summer's revelations that survivalist Bear Grylls "roughed" some of those nights in a hotel, the Discovery Channel series started its new season with a disclaimer... and helped spur queries on "truth about man vs. wild" (+1,411%).
4. Isla Fisher (+1,865%)About the only news from the new mom is that she loves her mother-in-law, Daniella Baron Cohen.
5. Amelia Earhart (+1,826%)The search and the drama continue for the missing pilot. A book detailing the continued hunt hits stores this month and a movie starring Hilary Swank is in the works.

8. Nefertiti (+2,175%)King Tut's makeover may have sparked interest in other ancient royalty, including his mother-in-law or stepmom.
9. Jake Locker (+1,005%)The Washington Huskies quarterback went head-to-head during the Oregon State game... literally. Locker was carted off on a stretcher, but he's already started his therapy.
10. 2007 BCS Standings (+1,005%)LSU snagged the top spot in the Bowl Championship Series rankings after it thrased Louisiana Tech. Meanwhile, a loss to Illinois tripped up the Buckeyes.
