Buzz Box #2: Search Trends - Lindsay Lohan, The Scourge of Diet Soda

Other hot topics are the tragic news helicopter crash today in Phoenix, Arizona and Lindsay Lohan's much -- dare we say over -- publicized arrest for DUI and drug possession. This boosted search interest in her new movie -- ironically entitled "I Know Who Killed Me" by more than 75%.
"Watch out, that stuff'll kill 'ya"
Yahoo searchers also got worked up over research which shows no difference in heart disease risk for diet soda drinkers vs. regular.
