Wondering why 'Mackenzie Rosman,' 'Debra Lafave,' 'Jason Beghe' and 'Hulk Hogan' are surging in Google Trends? We can shed some light on the mystery. Google Trends provides the hottest keywords of the hour. Though the results change frequently, at any given time the list offers a snapshot of what's hot in the world of entertainment news. Here's what's steamin' tonight...

Susan Finkelstein – It's deep October, and that means it's the time of year when sports fans are willing to do just about anything to get their hands on a pair of World Series tickets. Susan Finkelstein is a Phillies fan. A self-described "gorgeous tall buxom" Phillies fan willing to get "creative" in exchange for some stubs. An undercover cop responded to her Craigslist ad, and all she got was a trip to the slammer and an unflattering mug plastered all over the net.

Debra Lafave – Most sex offenders don't look like Debra Lafave. Trust us, we've gone into the Megan's Law database and checked out whose living in our ZIP. You probably remember Lafave, the blonde hottie who "fell in love" with one of her 14-year-old students back in 2006. She spent 2 1/2 years under house arrest, and she's got a few more years of probation during which she is banned from making any contact with children. She wants to change that. On Thursday, her motion to be allowed supervised contact with the kids of her friends and family will be heard in Tampa, Florida court.

Mackenzie Rosman – You remember Mackenzie. She played curly-haired little rugrat Ruthie Camden on '7th Heaven' for ten or so years. We never imagined she'd turn out to be the hottie she is today. But we never imagined Stephanie Tanner was doing blow before giving anti-drug talks either, so go figure. Anyway, pictures have surfaced of the now 19-year-old Mackenzie doing the doe-eyed "look at me, I'm in a bikini" thing.

Hand Sanitizer Overuse – We've been saying it for years. Overusing antibacterial soaps and hand sanitizers is bad. It kills the good bugs and makes it so the bad bugs have to be stronger to survive. And they get stronger. It's science. But now a Tuesday FOX News report is saying there's more to the dangers of hand sanitizers than that, and doctors are seeing more patients with unhealthy cracked hands than ever.

Jason Beghe – It's debateable what actor Jason Beghe is most famous for. He played Demi Moore's love interest in 'G.I. Jane' in 1997. Beghe had recurring roles on 'Picket Fences,' 'Melrose Place,' and 'Chicago Hope.' At the end of September, Beghe provided the first ever "mangina" to a national TV audience during the season 3 premiere of 'Californication.' But he's hitting headlines today because he's the other guy who left the Church of Scientology recently. He left in 2007 after a 12-year membership during which he estimates he gave the church $1 million. Wonder how much Paul Haggis gave over 35 years.

Hulk Hogan Press Conference – The Hulkster is jumping back in the ring. During a press conference at Madison Square Garden today he also told the world about his new memoir 'My Life Outside the Ring.' In the book the 56-year-old wrestling legends writes how he thought about suicide during his recent divorce and his son's drunk-driving accident. Sad stuff. But what really got the crowd and the wrestling community revved is that Hogan is making a comeback. But there are doubts that he'll get down and dirty in the ring. Insiders say he might just be a ringside sidekick.
