JLo Becomes One Of The Top Searched Names Of 2011

By Michael Lopez

As the year comes to a close, search engines across the web are tallying up their lists of 2011's most sought after celebs. Not surprisingly, names like Justin Bieber and Kim Kardashian are popping up everywhere. But so is one of our favorite Latinas, Jennifer Lopez.

JLo was ranked #5 in Yahoo’s Top Searches of 2011. And seeing what a tumultuous year she had, it's easy to see why. There were the emotional moments on American Idol, the hot songs from her Love? album, and that very publicized split from Marc Anthony. Just the past week alone has seen a spike Lopez queries, thanks to her new boytoy Casper Smart.

Bing.com’s most sought out celeb is Justin Bieber. This is actually the second year in a row that he's made their Top 10 ("The Biebs" ranked 6th in 2010). His galpal Selena Gomez failed to crack the celeb list, though she did rank #6 on Bing’s Top 10 Music Searches.

Interestingly, Selena popped up at #8 on Ask.com’s 2011 Top Searches. There she was beat out by Lady Gaga and, you guessed it, Kim Kardashian. The #1 most requested answer on Ask was "Was Kim Kardashian’s wedding fake?" Not a bad question, in our humble opinion.

In case you're wondering about the #1 searched item of the year, the answer is…(drum roll please) the iPhone. Steve Jobs' death, the new SIRI assistant device, and the release of the 4S model shot the Apple tech toy to the top of Yahoo’s coveted list.

But keep in mind, there’s still a full month left until the end of the year. And in that time, plenty of other searches could make their way to the top. Perhaps a Christina Aguilera pregnancy could stir up chisme? Or maybe a new Zoe Saldana romance? We're still hopeful it'll be the giant hamster from El Spooky Show!
