The alleged marital troubles between reality stars Jon and Kate Gosselin have spurred a slew of searches. Lookups on Kate's surreal hairstyle are among the most popular.
Over the past week, queries on the 'do have surged an astonishing 713%. Related terms like "kate gosselin haircut" and "kate gosselin hair pictures" also posted strong gains. Are people searching on the hair because they want to emulate Kate? Or are they looking with the same freaked-out fascination as highway rubberneckers?
The world may never know. But for what it's worth, Kate has a theory. She believes "everybody wants" her hair. According to Entertainment Weekly, Kate says that her stylist gets calls from all over from folks who want to look like her. Alas, because the style requires thick hair, "it's not going to work for everybody." Life: so darn unfair.
While Kate hasn't said if she's given her style an official name, some calling the famous coiffure the "pixie bob." Queries on the term are relatively modest for now. However, if Kate's pointy locks become the next big thing (as she clearly believes), the "pixie bob" could become as eponymous as "the Rachel." Shudder...
Of course, Kate isn't the only celebrity whose hairstyle inspires lookups. Below we rank the top ten famous 'dos from the past seven days. Kudos to Mr. Beckham the only male who, pardon the pun, made the cut.

Hey who is that dude with Cynthia Nixon? Mike Binder maybe?
I don’t cry
Then you are not an emo boy. Goth’s a totally different head.
I agree with you. I’d call this look “lezbo-static”. Short ‘n boyish in the front...somebody rubbed her head with a balloon in the back.
I know one that does. But she’s supposedly prefers males, ask her husbands and boyfriends. (same time frame)
That “dude” is her girl/boy friend. She’s lesbian.
One UGLY haircut.
Oh, I know. I was just being a sarcastic smartass :)
She’s a cute girl but her hair is embarassingly silly. It’s not chic, it’s not stylish. But it is humorous to think that somebody would do something like that to their hair and actually not think that people are laughing at them.
She looks like she backed into a Weedeater.
No offense, but I think that photo is rather horrific. It’s NOT a ‘bob’ of any sort, and it looks like a failed attempt at an emo haircut. I knew one or two girls who could pull similar styles off back in high school, but there were two important differences: They had it razor-cut, and they had the ‘look’ and proper face shape to pull it off. Kate, unfortunately, lacks those things.
