The Internet has given unprecedented access to the lives and goings on of the famous, and in 2014, 10 of them in particular piqued the public’s interest.

According to Google’s list of most popular celebrity searches, Jennifer Lawrence was the name most often queried.

She did have yet another stupendous year career-wise, but the scandal surrounding her hacked private photos likely added to the frenzy.

2014 was also a big one for Kim Kardashian, and the large number of people wanting to know how her life was unfolding put her in 2nd place.

Tracy Morgan, Ray Rice, and Tony Stewart filled the next 3 spots, respectively.

6th place honors went to hip-hop star Iggy Azalea, who spent her year climbing quite a few charts.

Donald Sterling landed in the 7th spot – and a lot of hot water.

Also a subject of controversy in 2014 was 8th place Adrian Peterson.

Renee Zellweger resurfaced after a hiatus from the public eye and sparked enough curiosity to earn her the number 9 slot.

In at 10 is Jared Leto, who has had a long, fruitful career. In 2014, became a successful actor with an Oscar, adding an Academy Award win to his already packed list of honors.
