What's Going On With Bernadette Peters?
Searches Soar for the Broadway Singer
No, really, what's going on? Yesterday, searches for Bernadette Peters surged 10,587%. Demand for her name kept the big-voiced wonder at the top of the hourly searches most of the day. By the end of the 24-hour period, she'd racked up enough buzz to break into Monday's top 10 fastest moving queries.
We ticked through the most recent news stories about La Peters, and all of them left us wanting. Could it have been her March 27 appearance as a guest host on "Regis"? Unlikely. What about her impending arrival in the bustling metropolis of Cleveland? Uh, no.
No less an expert than Kermit the Frog once labeled the curly-haired crooner "one of the all-time, multi-talented, beautiful ladies of the world." And, hey, we agree. But we're still baffled as to why searchers went ga-ga for her yesterday. If you have an idea, relieve us of this dilemma and post a note.
Now, on to today's top hourly searches: What's the story with Teri Garr?
