50 Cent Your local rumor mill is nothing compared to what happens when a juicy bit of gossip hits the Internet. Too bad for the likes of John Goodman and 50 Cent (+47%). Though unrelated in every other way, they are the center of much search speculation this past week. Just as rumors of Goodman's death proved to be a hoax, reports that 50 Cent may have lost a hand in a freak accident started circulating. Assisted by faked news articles and messageboards, the rumor sent hip-hop lovers to the Search box. Searches on "50 Cent hand" and "50 Cent hand injury" shot out of nowhere and seem to be on a direct course back that way as no reliable reports could be found to substantiate the rumor. But the Buzz proves that everyone loves a little gossip, so we've compiled the top 10 "rumors" searches to give you a little water cooler talk as we head into the weekend:
