IMDB’s Top Searched for Celebs of 2006

1. Johnny Depp
2. Angelina Jolie
3. Jessica Alba
4. Brad Pitt
5. Scarlett Johansson
6. Keira Knightley
7. Lindsay Lohan
8. Tom Cruise
9. Paris Hilton
10. Natalie Portman

I totally agree with this list, well except for Tom Cruise. He’s a member of my “who gives a damn” list.  Johnny is tops on my list, actually Johnny Depp is the tops on every single list I could ever dream up.  And if he’s in that Captain Jack Sparrow costume, he’s......... okay okay I’ll spare you all my fantasies!!! Let’s just say he deserves his spot on the top of the list.

The only person missing from the top 10 that I probably would have given my vote to was Orlando Bloom. He came in at #17. Can you believe it? He would be #2 on my list.
