the buzz log

A presidential candidate bowed out of the race, while two NBA titans began their quest for a championship. A rock legend passed away, while the paparazzi waited on Brangelina's twins to be born. Take a look back at a week of beginnings and endings in the Buzz.

Hillary Throws in the Towel
After months of campaigning, Senator Clinton is bowing out of the presidential race. Some are already speculating as to her next move, while others are busy with the inevitable Monday morning quarterbacking. And of course, those aren't the only questions. Will Barack Obama choose her as his VP? If chosen, would Hillary accept? Too soon to tell, but there's already plenty of online analysis.

NBA: Back in the Spotlight
A dirty ref and low-rated games were adding up to P.R. headache for pro hoops. But those dark clouds may be lifting. The Lakers and the Celtics face off in the NBA finals for the 11th time and the buzz is simply slamming. Lookups on both squads soared and articles from SI.com, the Bleacher Report, and the Hollywood Reporter (hey, it's L.A.) buzzed like angry bees.

Bo Diddley Passes Away
Rock and roll pioneer Bo Diddley passed away at the age of 79. The beloved entertainer leaves behind an impressive body of work and many mourning fans who searched on his biography, songs, photos, and clips. Interestingly, we also spied a load of lookups for his iconic Nike commercial with Bo Jackson.

Brangelina Baby Watch: Day 5,423
It's not enough to know that Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie are having twins. People, it seems, must know the exact moment that mommy goes into labor. Perhaps that explains why a news outlet "jumped the gun" this week. Entertainment Tonight reported that the kids were born when in fact they were still chillin' in the womb. Patience, people—they'll get here when they get here.
