This year, an election connection was the easiest way to earn a spot on Yahoo!'s list of the top ten most searched women of 2008. Sarah Palin came in at #2, bringing her interviewer Katie Couric (#8) and impersonator Tina Fey (#6) along with her. Hillary Clinton (#4), Michelle Obama (#7) and Obama-endorser Oprah Winfrey (#3) bring the tally up to six out of ten political ladies. However, Angelina Jolie was the most searched woman of 2008, proving that new baby pictures and celebrity feuds still trump an historic election in the minds of Americans. [Yahoo] More »

Attacks from the McCain-Palin campaign aren't just for Barack Obama, Joe Biden and the nation of Russia anymore! The Repubs have moved onto bashing Hillary Clinton and, um, Spain. Luckily, Jason Linkins and I don't move on as well as the GOP, so we talk more about Lady Lynn Forester de Rothschild and her many, many friends of African-American heritage, Grenada, sangria, Palin and Ahmadenijad's love-that-dare-not-speak-it's-name, blow jobs, rapes, unwanted babies and very, very unwanted baby names.

Do we smell a little competition? Word on the street is that AOL is creating a new "lifestyle site" for women in their 20s and 30s and they're looking for an editor "with a broad range of interests, strong writing voice, at least five years of editing experience and an old box of Sassy mags in her mom's attic," according to a listing in JournalismJobs.com, reports Alley Insider. AOL is looking for "someone who doesn't need an extra blue book to tactfully explain why Renee Zellweger is endearing yet freaky, and Amy Sedaris is freaky yet brilliant." Fingers crossed it will be less dull than Yahoo's luster-free Shine! (Click on the picture for the full job listing.) [Alley Insider] More »

Yahoo has a brand-new "media site" focused on women called Shine. According to Reuters, the site is aimed at 40 million females between the ages of 25 and 54. Some of the stories are republished from from Hearst and Conde Nast publications, but there's also an editorial team to write original pieces and highlight blog entries from readers. Shine attempts to cover fashion and beauty, healthy living, entertainment, parenting, love and sex, work and money, food, at home, and astrology. Phew! Upon first glance, it seems airy, clean and sleek, but navigating the different sections is actually kind of confusing and disorienting. Posts like "Red meat that makes you skinny," "Green Your Life Starting Today" and "Unsexiest Man Awards" didn't really inspire me to click them. More »

Britney Spears, once known as a singer, was the most searched person on Yahoo's site for the fifth time in six years (beaten out in 2004 by Paris Hilton). We know Brit's done some remarkable things lately—married a nobody, had two babies and is now divorcing her stinky husband—but can someone tell us what exactly is it that keeps people interested in this ho'? http://www.rte.ie/arts/2006/1205/spearsb.html More »
