Movers & Shakers: "Idol" Finale Fever
May 22, 2007

American Idol dominates our list of movers and shakers this week with its impending finale. Taylor Hicks has increased 1100%. Taylor, of course, won last year's season of "Idol" and has gone on to irritate most of America by singing that annoying "Possibilities" song in Ford commercials. (Seriously. Is there anyone that did not want to kick him in the face when that commercial was playing every other minute?)

Sanjaya has made his way back on to our movers and shakers list, increasing 300% this week. Who would have thought that his fifteen minutes of fame would continue past his "Idol" stint? Do you think that girl is still of somewhere crying over him?

"Star Wars" gained 174% this week, perhaps due to the impending 30th anniversary of the movie. We are celebrating the anniversary with our list of the most popular "Star Wars" search terms over the past year. For more "Star Wars" fun, please check out the Buzz blog for a Lycos employee's account of her lifetime as a "Star Wars" fanatic.
