Although Code Red did not result in the total Internet destruction that some news outlets had predicted, the hysteria did send the worm to number two on The Lycos 50 nearly toppling top seated Dragonball (#1). Additionally, the immensely annoying Sircam Virus (#11) continued to bedevil Lycos users with random files from random people. Meanwhile, the trend of depressed, suicidal music megastars continues stirring up online interest as pop diva Mariah Carey (#21) returns to The Lycos 50. News of Carey's recent emotional and physical breakdown hit via a statement on her Web site, sending Web users scrambling for more information on Mariah's meltdown. Movie Notes of Interest: Although Rush Hour 2 broke box office records this past weekend, the film barely caused a ripple online. Rush Hour 2 received less than half the searches needed to make The Lycos 50, landing fewer searches than Beanie Babies. American Pie 2, though shy of making this week's list, is very close at number 56, one week before it even opens. Search results seem to indicate the teen sex sequel is heading for a colossal opening week. From Survivor to Playboy: Survivor alumnus ALUMNUS, civil law.
