Wondering why Barbi Twins, Tim McGraw and Steve Phillips Girlfriend Picture, are surging in Google Trends? We can shed light on the mystery - the bonus feature of the Google search engine provides the 40 most-searched terms of the hour. Of course, the results change frequently, but at any given time, it's a great snapshot of what's on people's minds regarding pop culture.

Steve Phillips Girlfriend Picture - We want to look on you disapprovingly for following this story. It's a B-list sportscaster who hooked up with a random chick. Happens all the time. But it really is a compelling story. You clearly agree, fellow Googlers. Now you're sniffing out pics (or rather THE pic) of the sports dude's mistress Brooke Hundley, the 22-year-old assistant who filed a restraining order against Phillips on Tuesday. What is it about adultery that gets you Googling?

Soupy Sales - Soupy Sales, born Milton Supman, basically invented the pie to the face. Yeah, we were surprised to discover that gag hasn't been around since the dawn of civilization, too. Sales hosted the long-running children's show 'Lunch With Soupy Sales' in the '50s and '60s and went on to appear regularly on shows like 'What's My Line' and 'Hollywood Squares.' The comedian died yesterday at the age of 83, but not before he was referenced in 'The Jetsons,' 'Juno,' and 'Friends.'

Barbi Twins - Hot twins saving cute animals! If that doesn't get people Googling, we don't know what does. Shane and Sia Barbi, former Playboy pinups and voice actors (they made a handful appearances on 'Eek! The Cat'!), have traded in their lingerie for dog brushes... or whatever people use to save animals in distress. The identical twins have been saving animals orphaned by the California fires. They're now full-time hottie animal activists, and later this year, they'll go to Washington DC, along with Willie Nelson, Bo Derek and others, to lobby for a federal ban on horse slaughter.

Jodie Sweetin - Stephanie Tanner isn't so sweet. Jodie Sweetin, who played the middle child on 'Full House,' is releasing a book called 'UnSweetined' which tells of her debauched foray into a life of sex, drugs and other child star excesses. What's most surprising? Well, she used to blow lines before giving anti-drug lectures. The book hits shelves on Nov. 3.

Gabriela Pochinki - International opera stars think they can do whatever they want. Pochinki, a renowned Argentine diva irked fellow patrons at a Manhattan restaurant by yelling into her cell phone during a raucous speaker-phone dinner conversation. Staffers repeatedly asked Pochinki to quiet down, to no avail. Finally they asked her to leave, and she responded by shoving the manager. The whole incident was caught on video, the cops were called, and now Pochinki is expected in court to face a charge of criminal trespass.

Tim McGraw - Someone smart once called country music "soul music for white people." That sounds about right. And if so, Tim McGraw just might be the white Al Green. The multi-platinum selling country crooner just announced a massive North American tour with Lady Antebellum that's to kick off on Feb. 11 in Omaha, Nebraska. The tour comes on the heels of the release of his new album 'Southern Voice,' which was released on Tuesday. Also, Tuesday was officially declared 'Tim McGraw Day' by the governor of Illinois. The guy has really made the big time.
