MIAMI, Aug. 5 - Yahoo! Telemundo today announced its Top 10 Searches for the month ending July 31
( http://yahootelemundo.com/lomasbuscado ), which include the Top 10 in overall searches, image searches, as well as the most searched for Men for the month of July, as established by the millions of Yahoo! Telemundo users.
Top Trends in Search for July include:
Top 10 Overall Searches

2. Miss Universe 2008
3. Animals

5. Love and Sex
6. Aracely Arambula

8. Marijuana risks
9. Ingrid Betancourt
10. Organic Foods
Sin Senos No Hay Paraiso (literally, Without Breasts There Is No Paradise), is a Spanish-language telenovela that debuted on Telemundo on July 16. A hit in Colombia, the telenovela tells the story of an attractive young prostitute who seeks massive breast implants to attract a rich cocaine smuggler. The show was one of the network’s most-watched premieres ever and, not surprisingly, nabbed this month’s number one spot on the Top 10 Overall Searches. Also topping the list was a group of beautiful women, including Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza, Italian actress Monica Bellucci, and Aracely Arambula, who just announced she is pregnant with boyfriend Luis Miguel’s second child. Rounding out the list was former FARC (Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia) captive Ingrid Betancourt, whose recent rescue after six-and-a-half years of captivity created a worldwide media frenzy.
Top 10 Image Searches
1. Tattoos
2. Adriana Lima
3. Sceneries
4. Gemma Atkinson
5. Eva Longoria
6. Galilea Montijo
7. Barbara Mori
8. Vanessa Guzman
9. Isabel Madow
10. Naruto
The number one most searched for image on Yahoo! Telemundo in July was Tattoos - tattoos have experienced a resurgence in popularity in many parts of the world, particularly in North America, South America and Europe. A survey published by the Journal of the American Academy of Dermatology found that 24% of Americans between the ages of 18 and 50 have a tattoo.
Victoria’s Secret Supermodel Adriana Lima, an ever-popular name on the Top Searches lists, is still making headlines after it was announced that she and basketball star boyfriend, Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves, will be tying the knot. Following in Lima’s footsteps - four more models were among the most searched for images in July: British lingerie model (and reality TV star) Gemma Atkinson; Uruguayan-Mexican actress/model Barbara Mori, star of the hit telenovela remake, Rubi; as well as model Isabel Madow, known for her appearances on the Mexican edition of Big Brother VIP. Mexican actress and model Vanessa Guzman (a former Miss Mexico) also peaked users’ interest as she recently went public with information that she and boyfriend Uberto Bondoni, an actor from Uruguay, were blackmailed for a sex tape that was allegedly taken from their home in Mexico.
Top 10 Men Searches
1. Thomas Beatie
2. Chespirito
3. Lil wayne
4. Don Omar
5. Luis Miguel
6. Vicente Fernandez
7. Juanes
8. Cristiano Ronaldo
9. Tito El Bambino
10. Ricardo Arjona
Ironically, the most searched for man this month is really a woman. Thomas Beatie, the world’s first person to conceive a child after a gender-reassignment operation, gave birth this past month to a healthy baby girl. Mexican television icon Roberto Gomez Bolaios, known to the world as Chespirito, also topped the list. Bolaos, best known for his roles as “El Chavo del Ocho” and “El Chapulin Colorado,” has been touring Latin America to present his play “11 y 12.”
In the number four slot, Puerto Rican Reggaeton star Don Omar has been cleared of all drug and weapons charges in relation to an incident dating back to 2004. The 30-year-old has been on trial in a court in Carolina, Puerto Rico for the last two weeks, after he was arrested in September 2004 by drug enforcement officers, who claim to have found him and two pals smoking marijuana. The agents also allegedly found a gun and $1,200 in cash in his possession. Portuguese footballer and heartthrob Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Manchester United, has also generated interest amidst speculation about a move to Real Madrid. Last but not least, Guatemalan singer-songwriter, Ricardo Arjona, also generated buzz as he officially launched “Fundaci�n Adentro,” an initiative to teach music to poor children in his native Guatemala.
Every month the Yahoo! Telemundo Top 10 Searches showcases the diverse interests and concerns of U.S. Hispanics around the net, from gorgeous celebrity sightings and salacious political news to funny jokes and the latest consumer obsessions. The monthly list includes a recap of the Top 10 Overall Searches, Top 10 Image Searches and Top 10 Searches in a revolving category, which changes monthly. To come up with the Yahoo! Top Searches list, Yahoo! scans anonymous query logs from Yahoo! Search across a variety of categories to see what themes and trends bubble up to the surface. Individual searches are never used to develop these lists. For more information on Yahoo! Telemundo’s Top 10 Searches, visit http://www.yahootelemundo.com/lomasbuscado .

The Hulk in Spain?
The Incredible Hulk will be tearing a trail of destruction across more than just cinema screens today. The volatile superhero takes up rich media residency on MSN Spain’s homepage for the day.
The takeover, which is live for today only, sees the gargantuan green beast crashing his way through the MSN homepage to promote the official release of the Universal Pictures movie in Spain. A single display unit triggers his arrival, followed by a high definition trailer, and coupled with full background artwork depicting characters from the movie.
The campaign, which was conceived and planned by OMD Spain and facilitated by technology from Eyeblaster, is expected to receive between 12 and 18 million impressions in the 24 hours it’s live.
According to OMD Spain Online Manager, Cristina Barranco, this is only the third time this technology has been used in Spain, and the first time it has been used to promote a movie.
“Users are increasingly attacked by ads online, so we try to give our creatives more impact,” said Barranco. “We’re constantly pushing to do more innovative things. It’s about quality over quantity,” she added.
The takeover marks the peak of a week-long digital campaign leading up to the release of the action film. Other online activity has included traditional digital display and rich media ads across sports, national newspaper and online gaming sites, targeting an audience of 18-30 year-old males. Ads have also been placed on MSN’s Messenger service, as well as on Yahoo.
Manuel Ferreiro, Eyeblaster’s creative customer service manager for the Latin region suggested agencies within Europe are perhaps more adventurous than in the U.S.
“In Spain we like to take risks. Of course the markets are different, but maybe the U.S. is a little more conservative than Europe. The most creative and high impact work is coming from within Europe and Asia at the moment,” he said.
The online campaign will run alongside TV, print and traditional outdoor campaigns. The MSN takeover is live for today, June 20, only.

Qwest Offers Spanish-Language Guide to Help Families Stay Safe on the Internet
DENVER, March 26 — As a public service through its Motivate.Educate.Elevate. program, Qwest Communications International Inc. (NYSE: Q) is now offering a Spanish-language parent guide written by psychologist and online safety expert Linda Young, Ph.D. The handbook, called “Understanding a Child’s Virtual World,” aims to help families understand how communications technology affects daily life and relationships.
The handbook is available at no charge at http://www.incredibleinternet.com/index.php/do/parent_guide/lang/sp and provides a professional perspective to help families stay safer online. The guide is divided into the following five chapters:
Online culture is starting to reproduce exactly the same kinds of interactions that we’ve always seen in person
– How Technology is Changing Relationships
– Seven Reasons Good Kids Do Bad Things on the Internet
– Communicating With Teens in Ways That Change Behavior, Part One
– Communicating With Teens in Ways That Change Behavior, Part Two
– Always-On Technology: Do You Have Tethered Kids?
Dr. Young is a Seattle University staff psychologist with more than 15 years of counseling experience. In 2007, Qwest commissioned Dr. Young to write the guide “Understanding a Child’s Virtual World,” and has now made this important resource available in Spanish as well as English. Qwest also sponsors appearances by Dr. Young at community events throughout the country to help parents and guardians better understand children’s use of communications technologies.
“The accelerating popularity of social networking sites has created an online environment for interaction among users that mirrors much of what happens in real life,” said Dr. Young. “Online culture is starting to reproduce exactly the same kinds of interactions that we’ve always seen in person.”
Qwest is providing Dr. Young’s handbook as one element of its comprehensive Spanish-language educational program called Motivate.Educate.Elevate. The program was launched in September 2007 to highlight information and opportunities made available by Qwest that reflect important multicultural values. The resources are available at http://www.Qwest.com/motivate and are examples of Qwest’s ongoing commitment to serve the Hispanic community.
“Online safety is an important component of Qwest’s Motivate.Educate.Elevate program,” said Hector Placencia director of multicultural marketing at Qwest. “And with the expertise of Dr. Young, Qwest is helping parents establish a deeper understanding of how children and teens see technology differently than adults and promote a safer online experience for broadband customers.”
Since joining the Qwest program, Dr. Young has spoken with hundreds of parents and guardians at community events about how they can stay informed about online safety issues and trends in technology. She also provides parents and guardians with insight and advice on how they can open new and varied lines of communication with children.
