Google just released its lists of top trending searches in 2014 and the results are pretty amazing and/or horrifying depending on how you look at it. Not surprisingly, Jennifer Lawrence topped the lists of trending people and trending actresses in 2014. Kim Kardashian, Tracy Morgan, Ray Rice, and Tony Stewart rounded out the top five most searched people on Google this year. In the actors category, Jared Leto and his well-documented hair topped the list, followed by Matthew McConaughey, Macaulay Culkin (the Home Alone kid!), and Chris Pratt. Renee Zellweger came in second for most searched actress behind Jennifer Lawrence, probably thanks to more personal matters than recent career moves.

Rihanna won for most searched red carpet dress (who can forget the CFDA Awards), followed by Lorde and Lupita Nyong'o.

The power of teen fandom came to life in the list of most searched fashion designers, where blogger and haul video extraordinaire Bethany Mota beat out Kate Spade, Oscar de la Renta, Alexander Wang, and Valentino for highest trending designer in 2014.

George and Amal lost to Kim and Kanye as the most searched wedding of 2014. Brad and Angelina rounded out the top three, and Solange Knowles and Alan Ferguson managed to crack the top ten. In the trending pregnancy category, Mila Kunis beat out Kourtney Kardashian, Kate Middleton, Blake Lively, and Eva Mendes as the most searched celebrity pregnancy.

On a more personal note, the most-Googled fashion question was "how to wear a scarf," followed by "what to wear to a wedding" and "what to wear to an interview." The most-Googled beauty question this year was "how to get rid of acne," although "what is bb cream" and "what are freckles" (what are freckles?!) also made it in the top ten.

And in the wellness category, the paleo diet won for the trendiest diet on Google this year, followed by the Atkins diet and going gluten free. Insanity was the most searched workout in 2014, followed by the usual suspects including Piyo, the 7 minute workout, and P90x.
