Britney Spears Tops Yahoo’s List of Most Searched in 2007

People must love the drama that is Britney Spears’ life because she topped Yahoo’s Top 10 Most searched of 2007 for the sixth time.

For the wrong reasons or right, people are obsessed with Britney Spears. According to Reuters online, Britney fascinated people in 2007 so much that she headed the list of the top 10 searches on Yahoo.com.

Spears, who turned 26 on Sunday, continued to draw attention as she shaved her head, attacked a photographer's car with an umbrella, went to rehab, fought with ex-husband Kevin Federline over the custody of their two sons, and released her first album in four years.

"People do not know what to expect from her any more and the searches would spike every time she was back in the news," Vera Chan, senior editor at Yahoo, told Reuters.

"From when she shaved her head and rumors emerged from the rehab mill that she was calling herself the anti-Christ and shaved 666 on her scalp, there was constant tracking of this almost modern-day Greek tragedy happening in front of us."

Spears has topped the annual Yahoo list for six of the past seven years, only losing out once -- in 2004 -- to her friend and fellow party girl Paris Hilton. But Chan said overall the Britney Spears searches were up from a year ago.
