Tom Daschle with Barack Obama

It's buzz time.

  1. Lucy Hale (+6,927%). The 'Privileged' star caught major buzz when she admitted to being up for the same 'Twilight' role as Dakota Fanning. Hale says Fanning is a shoo-in.
  2. Pittsburgh Steelers parade (+452%). If you win six Super Bowl games, you get a parade. Pittsburgh will fete its team's amazing win over the Arizona Cardinals today. What's next, Disneyland?
  3. Tom Daschle (+264%). He's out: Obama's choice to head Health and Human Services doomed his bid for the job and withdrew today. The former congressman owed back taxes and received payments from the health industry ? adding to criticism that Obama was backtracking on his promise for a new kind of government.
  4. Vanity Fair (+186%). The magazine is featuring President Obama on the cover as part of its portfolio of the Obama team taken by Annie Leibovitz. Fun fact: The cover image is the same one used on a previous issue.
  5. Best Super Bowl commercials 2009 (+221%). The game may be over, but the buzz on commercials is still going. To view some of the most-talked-about game day ads, go here.
