Emma Watson (#5) achieves her highest rank ever on the Lycos 50, cracking the top 10 this week and generating more online interest than web darlings Pam Anderson (#14), Jessica Simpson (#26) and Hilary Duff (#24). Despite her recent release from rehab, even Lindsay Lohan (#18) can’t top Watson in search interest, as she is 171% more popular than Lindsay Lohan with web users this week. Actress Jessica Biel (#27) and singer Rihanna (#41) make their first ever appearances on the Lycos 50 this week. Biel, perhaps best known for her work on the never-ending series, "7th Heaven," is now starring in the Adam Sandler-produced comedy, "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry." Rihanna is about to make chart history in the UK with her current single, "Umbrella." If the track stays at number one, it will be the longest-running number one single in Britain for more than a decade.

Search Gainers:

Recent reports that terrorist group Al Qaeda has heightened efforts to put operatives in the U.S., indicating that the U.S. is under its greatest risk of attack since before September 11, 2001, has caused a surge in search interest for Al Qaeda, up 700%. Meanwhile, Hollywood’s newest "royals," the Beckham’s, have caused quite a stir since arriving in Los Angeles last week. If search activity is any indication, web users are far more interested in Victoria Beckham than in her soccer star husband David. Search interest in the former Spice Girl is up 144%, generating 338% more online activity than her infamous hubbie. The movie, "Hairspray," based on the 2002 Broadway musical based on the 1988 film opens on July 20, and has increased 233%. And on August 3, the live action movie based on the Bratz dolls will be released, which accounts for increased search interest in Bratz, up 67%.
