| Princess Di, Two Years Later |
Princess Diana is back in web surfers' hearts on the second anniversary of her death. Some say her memory is fading, others say she needs a permanent memorial. (Or is that saying the same thing?) Lycos has Diana photos here plus a full celebrity guide if you're in that mood. |
RISING STARS |
Here are five of the fastest-rising search terms from Lycos users in the past 48 hours: |
| |
| LFO |
Here's yet another hot boy band in the 'N Sync mode. LFO just crooned on the Summer Music Mania '99 TV special along with Christina Aguilera (see yesterday's report). Formerly known as the LyteFunkieOnes (good move on that name change, boys), the group is unrelated to the defunct British electronica band of the same name. LFO's single "Summer Girls" is #3 on the Billboard charts this week. |

| NFL |
The preseason groin pulls are ending and NFL searches are rising accordingly. We've got full NFL news coverage along with celebrity guides to some of the NFL's leading stars.
A hot related term: fantasy football. If that's your bag, you may want to check out the Lycos Sports Exchange fantasy game.

| Earnhardt |
Dale Earnhardt and Terry Labonte got in a nasty scrape on the final turn of the Nascar Goodys 500 last weekend. Earnhardt took the checkered flag, Labonte wiped out, tempers flared, and surfers are still hunting for juicy info. Here's the original news article, and here's our full Nascar coverage courtesy of Go Racing. |

| Wuhrer |
Former Ford model, former MTV VJ, former star of Beastmaster II, and now... singing star. Kari Wuhrer is a personality-turned-actress-turned-singer in the Jennifer Lopez mode, and her popularity seems to be on a similar upswing. We've got photos and a biography courtesy of RollingStone.com. |

| Vivian Hsu |
Seems to be a big day for personality-turned-actress-turned singers. Vivian Hsu is the waiflike star who got her start by winning an "Entertainment Beauty Girl Contest" on Taiwan TV in 1990. Since then she's become famous in Asia as an actress, pop singer and all-around "beauty girl." Why she's suddenly hot this week, we aren't sure; could be her new film Lau Man Hok Sun ("Rogue Student") is making a splash in Taiwan.
Any ideas? Drop us a line on the boards. |

| One to Watch |
The movie Molly has been generating plenty of searches in recent weeks, sometimes the sign of a hit in the making. The film stars Elisabeth Shue as a mentally-challenged adult, which in the 1990s makes her automatic Oscar material -- just ask Tom "Forrest Gump" Hanks, Dustin "Rain Man" Hoffman, Jack "As Good As It Gets" Nicholson, etc. Molly opens on September 17.
