MIAMI, Oct. 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Yahoo! Telemundo today announced its Top 10 Searches for the month ending September 30, which include the Top 10 in overall searches and image searches as established by the millions of Yahoo! Telemundo users.

   Top Trends in Search for September include:   Top 10 Overall Searches   1. Meaning of names   2. Sin senos no hay paraiso   3. Jennifer Lopez   4. Hurricane Ike   5. Oscar Pistorious History   6.

The month of September sparked searches for a hit telenovela, sultry female celebrities, a weather phenomenon as well as a couple of health topics by Yahoo! Telemundo users. The runaway Telemundo sensation "Sin Senos no Hay Paraíso" (Without Breasts, There is no Paradise) continued to place high on the most searched list as followers of this intriguing storyline can't get enough on its plot-twisting episodes and phenomenal cast. The drama in the tropics also attracted attention as users searched for information on one of the biggest storms in history. With maximum sustained winds of 145 mph, Hurricane Ike became the most intense storm of the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season thus far. Interest in this storm peaked as it made ladfall in Texas as a category 2 hurricane.

Celebrities also made their mark on this month's Top Ten list. Jennifer Lopez made the list again as fans tracked her performance at the Malibu Triathlon just months after giving brith to her twins and then followed her cross- country trip to celebrate husband Marc Anthony's birthday in New York that same night with a group of A-list friends. Controversial Cuban actress Niurka Marcos also made the list as her third husband was reportedly caught by a paparazzi video camera kissing another woman and several news shows reported that she wanted nothing to do with him. Rounding off the female beauties in the overall searches for September is reality-TV star Kim Kardashian who signed up to participate in the ABC hit show "Dancing with the Stars" and was an instant fan favorite. In addition, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and Weightloss diets were health topics that were of interest to Yahoo! Telemundo users last month.

Not surprisingly half of the names on the most searched image list beong to some of the world's most famous and beautiful women. Cuban-American model Vida Guerra made the list for the second month in a row as users continued to look for photos of the Latina bombshell. Users also searched for images of Cuban-American Eva Mendes, whose Calvin Klein ad features the actress rolling around in a bed covered by only a fur blanket. Lindsay Lohan also continued to peak users' interest as some sources confirmed her relationship with DJ Samantha Ronson. Aracely Arambula made the list once again as news about her second pregnancy, with boyfriend Luis Miguel, exploded in the media. In addition to beautiful women, Yahoo!
