TOP NEWS SEARCHES
Reality with a twist and a dip: Striking it rich was a preoccupation with most Canadians using News Search this year as lottery-themed searches dominated our charts showing up twice, including in the No. 1 spot, helped along nicely by the Ontario lottery scandal that dominated the headlines in November.
It was followed closely by the hit reality-TV series Dancing with the Stars and its own scandals. Contestant Shanna Moakler split with her husband Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker as well as getting into a fistfight with Paris Hilton. And contestant Tia Carrere was romantically linked (allegedly) with former Toronto Maple Leafs bruiser Tie Domi, who split with his wife after another alleged romance with Liberal MP Belinda Stronach.
