The World Cup is over and order has finally been restored to the universe. Now that football mania is behind us, searchers are getting the latest info about the world off the pitch. From Tesla announcing their cheapest car ever, the $35,000 Model 3 (OK, so “cheap” is relative) to the tragic events surrounding
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17, read on to see what trended this week.
Cutting the cord … but not reallyNetflix binge-watchers had a near-panic attack when rumors swirled that beloved show
Orange is the New Black was getting the axe. But have no fear, friends—the show lives to see another 13 episodes and quite humorously
reassured us of its existence. On the other side of the entertainment galaxy, comic book fans were shocked to learn that Marvel’s
Thor is now a woman—and a rather
ripped one at that! “Thorita” won’t be taking up her hammer against
Ultron, the new villain in the upcoming Avengers movie—that role will still be held by Chris Hemsworth. Still, if producers do decide to change it up, we’re pretty sure
Kacy Catanzaro deserves the role after her performance on American Ninja Warrior left searchers
pumped for more.
The sports stars are out tonightAthletes put on their best three-piece suits and gowns for the
ESPYs on Wednesday, and people turned to search to see which of their favorite stars took home the honors. (FYI OKC Thunder star Russell Westbrook, as usual, won
the red carpet battle for fashion supremacy, hands down.) While Olympic swimmer
Ian Thorpe couldn’t make it to the awards show, he still managed to make a splash on the trends charts when he came out as gay. Back on the field, it was the end of an era in baseball as New York Yankees legend
Derek (er,
Michael?) Jeter played in his last all-star game.
Seeing doubleIt was a tale of two Brookses this week as searchers were surprised to find out
Brooks Wheelan got the boot from Saturday Night Live after just one season—tough crowd.
Garth Brooks, on the other hand, had a great week when he announced his upcoming fall tour to much fanfare (“searchfare”?). In the reality TV scene, Claire Leeson from England spent more than $30,000 (so, basically a Tesla Model 3) to look like her celebrity idol Kim Kardashian. And another Kardashian lookalike made it to the trends charts when
Lilit Avagyan married Kim’s ex-boyfriend Reggie Bush—six degrees of Kim Kardashian anyone?
Tip of the weekDidn’t catch the ESPYs? Just ask Google, “who won best male athlete?” to see who took the crown this year and find a list of past winners.
