Wondering why 'Chaz Bono Pictures,' 'Kalpen Modi,' and 'Kellie Pickler' 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...

Chaz Bono Pictures – Most people are afraid to become the people they want to become. That's not true of Sonny and Cher's only child Chaz. Born a girl, Chaz has almost completed gender reassignment surgery to become a man. Speaking on 'Entertainment Tonight' today, the 40-year-old said of his relationship with Jennifer Elia, "Our relationship always modeled a heterosexual relationship, emotionally and intellectually. So now it does physically as well."

Kalpen Modi – Yep, Kal Penn's real name is Kalpen Suresh Modi. He quit 'House' and went back to using his birth name when he joined the Obama camp during Barack's campaign in '08. Now carrying the title Associate Director of the White House Office of Public Engagement, Modi has found himself embroiled in a juicy little political scandal. According to emails obtained by a government watchdog site, Modi participated in an effort to encourage tax-supported creative types to make propaganda for President Obama. And he thought getting to White Castle was tough...

Gloria Loring – Robin Thicke's famous mama just let the cat out the bag. Today, the 'Days of Our Lives' veteran announced on her Facebook page, "I am going to be Nana Gloria again as my son Robin Thicke & his wife Paula are expecting their first baby!" Paula is Paula Patton, of course, the 33-year-old co-star of the upcoming movie 'Precious.' We could think of worse ways to let the cat out the bag.

Lil Wayne No Ceilings Free Download – Hip-hop mixtapes and the Internet go together like spaghetti and meatballs. Really, there's no better way to release music that's meant to be free than online. Lil Wayne knows this. The N'awlin's rapper knows just about everything, really, as evidenced by his prolific informative rhymesaying over the years. (Though he doesn't know when to leave the firearm in the sock drawer.) 'No Ceilings' is available for download all over the place, particularly right HERE.

Kellie Pickler – K.P. appeared on a special Halloween edition of the Ellen DeGeneres Show today. She dressed up for the occasion, rocking a super busty bosom and platinum blonde wig, nailing an excellent impersonation of her country hero Dolly Parton. You can check out video of Kellie's appearance at Ellen's official site.

Alferd Packer – Alferd Packer is probably history's third most infamous cannibal behind Jeffrey Dahmer and Hannibal Lecter. Packer is hitting headlines today because, well, it's Halloween, and this is pretty much the only day cannibals get any respect. But Packer is also the inspiration for Trey Parker's college video project 'Cannibal! The Musical,' which can now be seen played out on stage at various theaters across the country.
