Trending Now

Because nobody demanded it, it's time once again to count down Yahoo's trendiest stories as of 7:04 pm PST.

10: EARLY HITLER LETTER: "Dear Aunt Hildegarde. How are you? I am fine. Thank you for the socks. I liked them very much. I cannot wait to see you and Uncle Bram at Walpurgisnacht. Kill the Jews. Love, Adolf."

9. NEW DOG BREEDS: The American Kennel Club has given its seal of approval to three new breeds of dog: the Icelandic Sheepdog, the Cane Corso, and the Leonberger. These dogs, previously malformed mutts, are now officially beautiful.

8. ONLINE ADVERTISING: As if it weren't pervasive enough! Now it's trendy!

7. KATY PERRY: We're beginning to suspect that Katy Perry is just the new Lady Gaga: She MUST be included in any list of things trendy.

6. PIPPA MIDDLETON: The sister of the new Duchess of Cambridge lost the "rear of the year" competition. She was beaten out by fifty-year-old (!) TV presenter Carol Vorderman. Doesn't that make Vorderman the trendy one?

5. OIL EXPLORATION: Exxon has discovered a large oil patch in the Gulf of Mexico. So everyone can sleep easy tonight knowing that Exxon will be OK.

4. ANNA KOURNIKOVA: She's joining the cast of "The Biggest Loser." Not sure whether they selected her for her expertise on fitness or on losing.

3. ABE VIGODA: In the latest and most disturbing detail yet to emerge from the Anthony Weiner Twitter scandal, elderly actor Abe Vigoda has revealed that he, in fact, was a recipient of the congressman's more racy tweets. (OK, he was really just one of the people to bid Meredith Vieira farewell on the "Today" show, but we like our story better.)

2. KARINA SMIRNOFF: A "Dancing with the Stars" regular, she's marrying pitcher Brad Penny. Yeah, we don't know why anyone would care, either.

And, the number one trendiest story at this moment is. . . .

1. TITANIC II: Don't worry, it's not a James Cameron film. . . well, not yet, anyway. Englishman Mark Wilkerson bought a second-hand cabin-cruiser, and, on his maiden voyage. . . . Yup. Wilkerson escaped relatively unharmed, and he would thank all "well" wishers not to ask if he hit an iceberg. He didn't.
