The Lycos 50 Daily Report
 The things you're searching for.February 22, 2000 

'Wild' for Jules & Brooke

(Note: this week's Lycos 50 list is delayed one day due to the President's Day. The new Lycos 50 will appear Wednesday morning.)

Searches continue to climb for Jules Asner, the former host of E! TV's "Wild On" travelogue and now co-host of E! News Daily. Asner is a one-time Elite model whose "Wild On" job often required that she wear a swimsuit. (Surprise, surprise.) Still, she seems to inspire a certain clean-cut style of worship from fans. Despite leaving the "Wild On" job last fall her search queries have taken a jump in recent months, particularly in January.

Meanwhile her duties (and wardrobe) at "Wild On" have been taken over by another model, Brooke Burke -- and now Burke is rising faster than Asner. Searches for Burke went up 2000% in November when she took over the show. They've tailed off a bit since then, but she still got twice as many searches as Asner last week. Surely it couldn't be the swimsuits, could it?

Incidentally, for more celeb news from the same source we invite you to check the E! Online news feed on our entertainment pages.
