Telemundo users.

Top Trends in Search for June include:

6. Smart Clothes

June weddings have always been synonymous as a romantic way to start the summer -- and keeping with the tradition, two very famous Latina beauties recently announced their upcoming nuptials. Victoria's Secret Supermodel Adriana Lima climbed to the number one spot on the Top 10 most searched for list on Yahoo! Telemundo when it was announced that the Brazilian beauty had gotten engaged to her basketball star boyfriend, Marko Jaric of the Minnesota Timberwolves. Mexican Hollywood mega-star and new mom Salma Hayek also announced plans to wed her billionaire fiance, Francois-Henri Pinault, in a spectacular $3.5 million celebration in St. Tropez later this summer. According to reports, the pair will fly their friends in on private jets, put them up in luxury resorts, spend $500,000 on a wedding dress and almost
$1 million on flowers.

Three of the Top 10 slots focused on a passion point for many U.S. Hispanics -- soccer. The 2008 Euro Cup gave fans something to jeer and cheer about with Spain ultimately winning the title against Germany. In other soccer news, Portuguese footballer and heartthrob Cristiano Ronaldo, who currently plays for Manchester United, has made recent headlines as the subject of intense speculation and controversy about a move to Real Madrid. Ronaldo, who is engaged to a Spanish woman, is contracted to play with Manchester until 2012. Mexico's national team, El Tri, also made headlines as it qualified for the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa.

'Smart Clothes' also made the cut -- this fashion with function aims to protect people from sun, bugs, and can even track them with GPS.

Top 10 Image Searches
1. Sabrina Rojas
2. Wanda Nara
3. Jennifer Aniston
4. Adriana Lima
5. Niurka
6. Miss Universe 2008

Controversial Argentine beauties nabbed the top two slots for the most searched image category in June. Reality TV star Sabrina Rojas of "Bailando por un Sueno" (Dancing for a Dream) and model Wanda Nara were the most searched for faces last month. American TV and film star Jennifer Anniston got the No. 3 slot for most searched for image perhaps due to her new, steamy romance with crooner John Mayer. The 2008 Miss Universe pageant, which takes place July 14 in Vietnam and will represent 80 countries from around the world, has already peaked lots of interest among Yahoo! Telemundo users. World renowned Colombian beauty Sofia Vergara, who currently graces the cover of Maxim magazine's July issue, shows that at age 35 she still has all of her natural, sensual Latina sex appeal. Illinois Senator Barrack Obama, who beat out New York Senator Hillary Clinton as the 2008 Democratic Presidential candidate in June, came in at No. 9. Rounding-off the top 10 most searched for images last month was, curiously enough, Scooby Doo -- the much beloved pup whose eponymous cartoon and movies have been continuously on air for more than 30 years.

Summer is the season when the most anticipated films hit the big screen and this year has been no exception. The most searched for films by Yahoo! Telemundo users for the month of June were the ones everyone's been talking about. Dreamwork's animated film "Kung Fu Panda," starring the voices of comedian Jack Black and Angelina Jolie, topped the chart followed by the much awaited for "Sex and the City" film, which had leagues of women and their girlfriends of all ages heading to the cinema to see if Carrie and Mr. Big finally tie the knot! Ed Norton's film and his take on "The Incredible Hulk" made the list as did the yet to be released, but highly anticipated films, "Hellboy 2" and "Hancock," starring Will Smith. Rounding-off the top ten most searched films was "Wanted," another Angelina Jolie blockbuster, co-starring James McAvoy, that raked in over $50 million in its opening weekend.
