the buzz log

Maybe it's a sex tape. Or maybe they're steamy photos. Maybe they're from 1992. Or maybe they're current. Maybe they reveal an "actress" who resembles "Sex and the City" star Kristin Davis. Or maybe they feature the brunette cutie herself.

On Monday, rumors began percolating that images of Kristin Davis doing unprintable things to an unidentified man were available on the Web. The reaction in Search was swift and overpowering.

Queries for "kristin davis photos" leapt 1,128%. People who couldn't take the time to spell out "pictures" boosted "kristin davis pics" 744%. Subscribers to the video theory drove "kristen davis video" up more than 930%. Demand is running so hot and heavy that the one-time "Melrose Place" co-star is currently the most popular actress in Search.

Davis' agent continues to assert that there are no, repeat no, racy images of the brown-eyed brunette on the Web. Whether or not that's true, the scandalous possibility doesn't seem to have hurt her upcoming flick. Though searches for "sex and the city movie" registered a 32% uptick yesterday, co-stars Sarah Jessica Parker (+155%), Cynthia Nixon (+194%),and Kim Cattrall (+173%) have all enjoyed triple digit gains. Thanks for taking one for the team, Charlotte.
