Little Richard, Justin Bieber and one brave reporter

Good morning!

Call it the July 4th hangover as much of the trends this morning are all related to the Fourth of July.  Google is loaded with many of the celebrity names who performed at The Capitol Fourth on the West Lawn of the U.S. Capitol. 

The biggest search is for Little Richard performing with the cast members of the Million Dollar Quartet.  The 78-year-old "architect of rock 'n roll" is still jamming after all these years.

Justin Bieber is all over Twitter this morning… #beliebersarewinning, #justinbieberloveswinning, Justin Likes Curves…    His fans have seized control of the tweet universe, it seems.

Believe it or not, the Bieber is also among the most popular stories on ABCNews.com.  The story is from 2010 -- "50 Most Popular Women on the Web (and #7 is Justin Bieber)" is riding this wave of JB love.  Yes, he ranked number 7 on last year's list of most popular women on the internet, according to Google.  COED Magazine puts together this list.   Curious, I paid a visit to the site and discovered this year's list is out!   Guess what, Bieber is now the SECOND most popular woman on the internet.   Not exactly sure how COED came up with this finding...  There's no explanation given, leading some to ponder that perhaps it's a bad joke. It could also be a marketing ploy to drive visitors to its website -- anything with Justin Bieber on it is bound to increase traffic. 

Not suprising, Lady Gaga ranks number one on the list for the second straight year. 

Yes, it's slow.  However, we did find a few interesting videos trending this morning…

The most shared video comes from Cape Cod, where a flash mob surprised shoppers stocking  up for the 4th at a store in Orleans.

 

Then from Boston, we have video one very brave reporter from the U.K. Chris Unitt  was doing a story on Cirque Eloize and became part of a crazy bike stunt.

 

And finally, another kitten rescued from a pipe story…. This one is not quite as delicate as the last as the fire department members used a leaf blower to get it out… I'm assured that the kitten was fine.

 

That's the trend!

Have a great day,

Bob
