    BEIJING, Dec. 16 (Xinhuanet) -- For the third time in four years, Britney Spears has topped Yahoo's annual list of the most-searched for names on the Internet.

    Although the 24-year-old pop star released an album of remixes, "B in the Mix, The Remixes," in November, it was the birth of her son, Sean Preston Federline, on Sept. 14 that helps pique the interest of millions, Yahoo said Thursday.

    Erik Gunther, who compiles the list for Yahoo as its "Buzz Index list guru, said this year's top 10 were all show-business figures and showed people were fixated on pop culture icons.

    Following Spears were, in order, 50 Cent, the Cartoon Network, Mariah Carey, Green Day, Jessica Simpson, Paris Hilton, Eminem, Ciara and Lindsay Lohan. Enditem
