There was a sudden surge in searches for infidelity tests last month, which comes as no surprise given the recent national scandal of New York governor Eliot Spitzer who resigned after allegedly being linked to a high-priced prostitute. Apparently the media frenzy that ensued from the Spitzer scandal got many to question their current relationships and search for indicators of unfaithfulness and also peeked an interest as to who the "the other woman" was -- making 22-year-old aspiring singer and former escort Ashley Alexandra Dupre the second most searched item on the list. Many were also searching for the best of Spring Break; however, there was no break for fans who continued their incessant searches for their favorite celebrity beauties such as Camille Belle, currently starring in the monolithic hit film, 10,000 B.C. and Colombian bikini model Ana Sofia Henao, who is also known as one of the most 'downloaded' women on the Internet. There was also much buzz about Jennifer Lopez, especially surrounding the birth of her adorable twins. Internationals Woman's Day (Dia Internacional de la Mujer), celebrated on March 8, is a major day of global celebration for the economic, political and social achievements of women, and was also of interest to Yahoo! Telemundo users. Last, but not least, the release of the popular Guinness World Records for 2008 got many users to look up the newest and most off-the-wall additions to the celebrated list.

Images of Mexican actress and novella star, Kate del Castillo were also quite popular last month perhaps due to her big screen debut in the highly acclaimed new film, "La Misma Luna."

Iconic 90's pop girl-group, the Spice Girls, seem to still in demand after all these years due to the recent conclusion of their "The Return of the Spice Girls" World Tour.
