MSNBC’s Willie Geist counted down the 10 people and stories that touched our lives in 2007. Or maybe they just touched Geist’s life.

This week’s Lycos 50 is out and to nobody’s surprise, ‘High School Musical’ star Vanessa Hudgens has made her debut on the chart, soaring in at #2, second only to poker. The 18-year-old singer/actress dealt with a nude photo and some other lingerie pictures getting leaked to the web, and its potential to get her axed from ‘High School Musical 3′, the big-screen version of the Disney smash musical. Others on the list included Britney Spears at #11, Paris Hilton at #13, Clay Aiken at #15, Beyonce Knowles at #17, Shakira at #18, and Lindsay Lohan at #22.

What was MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski thinking when she refused to cover the breaking Paris Hilton news on ‘Morning Joe’ and did Willie Geist really call her a Medieval slur?

Top searches for Britney Spears on Yahoo’s pay-per search engine Overture.com for the month of November are in, with a huge jump in interest in the singer, though virtually none for her singing career. Searches for “Britney Spears”, and several misspellings totaled an astounding 4,887,898 for the month, thanks to a huge end of month surge for those looking for her multiple up-skirt pantiless pictures, as well as her divorce announcement to begin the month, rumors of a sex tape with estranged husband Kevin Federline existing, and a 19-second clip with a woman resembling Britney performing oral sex. Britney got about 3X more searches than her rival Christina Aguilera, even though Aguilera recently released an album and is touring in support of it. But Britney’s searches are almost all related to nudity or sex, with only one “Oops” reference to a song, a single search related to lyrics, and some interest in her divorce and new baby. The most common misspelling was Brittany Spears with 3,771 searches.
Top searches for Lindsay Lohan on Yahoo’s pay-per-search engine Overture.com are in for the month of October, with the singer/actress receiving 786,793 searches for the month.

The most searched song lyric was for ‘Rumors’ with 543 queries. Lindsey Lohan was the most often misspelled search at 27,455.
