What's the Buzz: Oncers, Spitzer, Brangelina
Once is enough. Tunes like "Baby Got Back" from Sir Mix-A-Lot (1992) and "I'm Too Sexy" of Right Said Fred (1992) got their 15 minutes of fame, and then, nothing. Entertainment Weekly calls out 25 of its favorite "one hit wonders" (+183%) in honor of One Hit Wonder Day. So take a moment to give Edie Brickell and Deee-Lite their due.
The get. Since he left office, we haven't heard a peep from Eliot Spitzer. You remember him: The former governor of New York who, at the peak of his career built on a reputation for ethics and reform, flamed out on reports of his breach of ethics and reform through an alleged connection to a prostitution ring. Searches on "new york magazine" (+1,238%) leapt at the news that it had secured the first interview with the now very private, very quiet ex-governor.
Brangelina or bust. The superstar couple is back in Buzz. Fans hit the Internet looking for "brangelina split rumors" (+130%) to confirm online gossip of the supposed break-up. Searchers were undeterred by the couple's publicist debunking the story. Concern for the power couple's relationship hasn't stopped interest in "brangelina baby pictures," "brangelina twins photo," and "brangelina twins."
