the buzz log

Superstar couple Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie recently became the proud parents of twins. And People magazine became the proud publication that got to release the very first photos of them.

Business has been brisk. As noted on Trendhunter, "With 2.6 million sold copies, the issue with the Jolie-Pitt twins pictures is the magazine's best seller in over 7 years."

While People magazine may be seeing dollars, we're seeing buzz.

Celeb baby fever is catching in Search, with the Brangelina twins leading the way with a 1,710% spike over the past month. Searches have peaked in the last 30 days for "brangelina baby pictures leaked," "brangelina baby pictures," and "jolie-pitt baby picture."

But before baby comes the bump watch. An article wonders who in Hollywood may be pregnant. Then it's off to the Search box to find the celebrity baby bumps with queries on "ashlee simpson baby bump," "jessica biel baby bump," and "beyonce baby bump pics."

Politicians don't escape the mania, either. News that Republican V.P. nominee Sarah Palin's 17-year-old daughter, Bristol Palin, is pregnant, set off a babygate Search with "bristol palin baby," "palin baby scandal," and "sarah palin baby scandal."

While we're sure that stars are "just like us," we're more than happy to do a little e-ogling to prove to ourselves that they too can struggle with baby weight, baby scandals and baby drama.

They just get to do it in public.
