The Lycos 50 Daily Report
 The things you're searching for.April 13, 2000 

One to Watch: Chris Klein

User searches for actor Chris Klein have increased sixfold since early January, and seem to be climbing still.

Klein just turned 21 and played high-schoolers on film twice last summer: he was Reese Witherspoon's political rival in Election and then the girl-hungry lacrosse player in the boffo American Pie.

Now he's playing a slightly older hunk opposite Leelee Sobieski in the tear-jerker Here on Earth. And get this: news reports say that he's just signed on to take the James Caan role in a remake of '70s cult classic Rollerball.

If that's not enough, he's dating hubba-hubba actress Katie Holmes of Dawson's Creek fame. Which may be the biggest reason of all for the sudden rush of interest.

    Mystery Term

    Today's mystery term:

    GIOCHI

    Gaming fans, this one's for you. Giochi has been rising steadily for six weeks; it seems to mean "games" in Italian. But why an Italian search term on our U.S. servers? Does giochi have some other meaning?

    If you have an insight, please speak up on our boards message boards. Thank you!
