Platinum recording artist and teen movie star Hilary Duff takes the crown for most searched person among kids and teens and Britney Spears was once again the most searched person overall, though hardly by a landslide. Britney, followed closely by hotel heiress and socialite Paris Hilton, reclaims the top honor this year from rap sensation 50 Cent who dethroned Britney in 2003 after she held the top spot for two years running. But look for Usher, one of 2004s biggest gainers and the years #1 searched male, who also scored the #1 and #2 searched songs of the year, to give both Britney and Paris a run for their money in the overall category in 2005.
