Movers & Shakers: "American Idol" and the Super Bowl
January 22, 2008

"American Idol" premiered last week, propelling searches related to the series to the top of this week's Movers & Shakers. Paula Abdul leads the pack with a 891% increase. In addition to co-judging "American Idol" where she claps like a seal and appears to be in her own little world half the time, Paula has just released a new single called "Dance Like There's No Tomorrow." This is Paula's first single since "Crazy Cool" in 1995, and will be the first single released from Randy Jackson's upcoming album, "Randy Jackson's Music Club Vol. 1." Dare we hope that she dances with a cartoon cat in the video?

The show itself gained 145% and last year's Antonella Barba gained 322%. After Antonella and season 2's Frenchie Davis, a season of "American Idol" does not really seem complete without a nude photo scandal. Who of this year's crop of contestants will we see naked on the Internet?

From the sports world, the Super Bowl gained 59%. Super Bowl XLII will be played with the New York Giants against the New England Patriots on February 3 in Phoenix, AZ. Hope Tom Brady's foot is okay! NASCAR and hockey also made significant gains this week of 569% and 650% respectively.
