Meghan Markle was the most Googled person in 2018

There's really no better way to recap the past year than to go back over what people were busy typing into search engines as our planet made its way around the sun.
Google just released its "Year in Search" statistics, and it offers a pretty good glimpse into what was on our collective mind in the Year of our Lord 2018.

In the UK, the most popular overall search was, perhaps quite unsurprisingly, the World Cup, the 21st round of which took place this summer. Second place goes to one of the newest member of the British Royal Family, Meghan Markle.

The ceremony that brought her into said Royal Family, the Royal Wedding, takes third place.
Google, knowing that it's still people's go-to place for pretty much all the questions we're too afraid to ask, also released stats for this year's top "What is..." searches. The top two for 2018 are both tech related.
First place goes to the question all of us still only kind of, sort of, maybe know the answer to; "What is Bitcoin" — oh, NBD, just the most famous cryptocurrency in the world. Followed by "What is GDPR?" — the General Data Protection Regulation. It's also worth mentioning that Brits were also busy googling their own national history. The fifth most popular "What is..." search is "What is the Commonwealth".
The most googled movie was Black Panther and people apparently still have no idea how to do the floss dance, as this was one of the top "How to" searches. You can check out all the stats for yourself

Kim Kardashian is obviously no stranger to having her many social media pictures picked apart. But her latest Instagram offering, shared on her Instagram stories and also by sister Kourtney on Saturday evening ahead of a night out, has been particularly savaged by Kardashian followers. The picture shows Kourtney, 39, and Kim, 38, posing in floor length black dresses up against a grey wall. In the shot, captioned "sister date", Kim hasn't held back with the heavy black eye make up and lip liner. "What's wrong with Kim's face?" one asked under the snap.

By
Davina's back! Our favourite host was being pretty secretive about whatever she was filming on Thursday evening, but we sure know she's going to look great doing it, whatever it is – since she chose a mega-metallic Bozena Jankowska trouser suit for the occasion. Love. And while there's an ever-growing army of celebs opting for blazers over ballgowns for special events now, fashion fans will know that Ms McCall has long-loved a tuxedo – and this one has not disappointed.
