So I have done some extensive Googlage, typing in an actress’ name, then hitting the space bar to see what the top suggestion is for the 3rd word. Results, in order of execution: Amanda Peet – hot Sharon Stone – movies Susan Sarandon – daughter Jessica Biel – wedding Anjelina Jolie – mastectomy Sally Field – movies Reese Witherspoon – arrest Tina Fey – scar Sandra Bullock – movies Kelly Reilly – **feet** Eva Green – imdb Rosario Dawson – trance Lucy Liu – pregnant Elizabeth Taylor – eyes Famke Janssen – **feet** Molly Ringwald – imdb Nell Carter – imdb Jennifer Lawrence – twitter Halle Berry – movies Julia Louis-Dreyfus – net worth ( **feet** was 2nd) Kaley Cuoco – hot Pamela Anderson – twitter Lea Thompson – imdb Jada Pinkett-Smith – sinuous magazine Meryl Streep – movies Raquel Welch – wigs Jennifer Aniston – wedding Zoe Saldana – wiki Emma Watson – twitter Jessica Chastain – imdb ( **feet** 2nd) Maggie Q – twitter ( **feet** 2nd) Juno Temple – **feet** Rebecca Romijn – **feet** Kate Winslet – imdb Rachel Weisz – **feet** Emma Stone – and Andrew Garfield Jennifer Connelly – movies Rita Hayworth – and Shawshank Redemption Marilyn Monroe – quotes Loni Anderson – 2013 Heather Thomas – poster Vivica A Fox – net worth Shannon Tweed – twitter Jessica Drake – (no suggestion) Asia Carrera – (no suggestion) ---

And 9 times out of 10 the first suggestion if you type in a male actor or singer’s name is “gay”. The second is usually “girlfriend”, or sometimes “twitter”. Edit: re the last two names, Google is very efficient at blanking out anything slightly rude. You can be typing something perfectly innocent and suddenly, blam, “Press Enter to search”. Sometimes I can’t even figure out what results it is shielding me from. I’ve found lots of rude things I didn’t even know existed this way 🙂 ---

What a weird little game you’ve now shown me to play 🙂 Feet does tend to be up there regardless of who I type ---

If you do an image search they put up a little array of other keywords associated with the celeb, and probably 20% of the time one of them is **feet**. I don’t know why foot fetishists get to dominate the search results, apart from it being an innocuous term. Nude, or even upskirt would likely appear higher if Google wasn’t PG filtering everything by default. ---

Nude, or even upskirt would likely appear higher if Google wasn’t PG filtering everything by default. Well, it is the most common fetish\* (excepting those we don’t really call fetishes, like a boob, ass, or leg fetish.) Kinda surprised legs aren’t more common, though, since that could also be an innocuous term. Maybe it’s because leggy photos are more common, and thus people don’t have to search for them as much. \*Yes, technically I mean paraphilia, but that ship has sailed. ---

It’s not just foot fetishists but… WOMEN!! See, if you type an actresses name and put the word “shoes” after it, it’ll take you to a store website called Famke Jensen Shoes, which has nothing to do with the actress or feet. Most of the pics that pop up after that search with “feet” aren’t the actresses feet but pics of them on a red carpet wearing Louis Voittons for some event and the girls need to see THE SHOES!!! So typing “feet” eliminates the shoe websites and text articles of the actress describing their shoes instead of showing pics.
