Clay Aiken leads the list of most popular men for the second year in a row, beating out rappers Tupac Shakur and 50 Cent. This was a big breakout year for "High School Musical" star Zac Efron, who makes the list at #7. Not only was "High School Musical 2" the biggest cable movie success ever, but Zac starred in July's hit movie, "Hairspray." Zac will next be seen in the comedy, "Seventeen," and the highly anticipated theatrical release of "High School Musical 3."

Vanessa Hudgens, Efron's on and offscreen love interest, appears on our top 10 women of the year list at #5. Searches for Vanessa surged in early September when nude photos of the actress were discovered online. Vanessa issued a statement of apology, and although it was rumored that she might be fired from the "High School Musical" franchise, she will costar in "High School Musical 3."

It was clearly a year for starlets finding fame due to nude photo scandals with Antonella Barba making our list at #6. The "American Idol" contestant made news in late February when her racy photographs appeared on the Internet. She was eliminated from "American Idol" before the top 12 were chosen, but inspired a lot of online gossip and search activity.

Lycos's woman of the year, Britney Spears, of course, had a whirlwind of a 2007, which included rehab, custody battles, head-shaving, attacking a paparazzo with an umbrella, a hit-and-run, and a really, really lame performance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Can't wait for 2008, Brit!
