Haiti's earthquake and death toll; Layla Kiffin pictures; Herschel Walker; and baldenfreude

The People are frantic in their quest for information about the devastating series of earthquakes that struck Haiti in the past 16 hours, causing confusion and chaos throughout the poor island nation southeast of Cuba. One of the quakes, a magnitude 7.0, has"destroyed" much of the nation's capital Port-au-Prince, the country's first lady told CNN. And the death toll is unknown this morning as international aid agencies, such as the Red Cross, quickly mobilize.

The quakes come at a rough time for Haiti. The poorest country in the Western Hemisphere was still reeling from hurricanes in 2008, making everything else that people are reading about online today seem quite shallow, especially efforts to find pictures of Layla Kiffin.

To understand why people want pics like the one above, we first have to give you the hook: Tennessee football coach Lane Kiffin, whose program is facing investigation for questionable recruiting practices, will move to the University of Southern California. All the buzz about his move has highlighted something otherwise hidden in the mind of American males -- they covet thy football coach's wife (or at least ogling her from the privacy of a laptop).

On the subject of football, Herschel Walker, a former Heisman Trophy winner, is getting into the ass-kicking world of mixed martial arts. Walker's MMA debut is Jan. 30 in Sunrise, Fla. Greg Nagy will be his opponent for the Strikeforce card contest.

And thank New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd for lighting up Google's search engines with "baldenfreude." She writes in the Times, "As NBC reeled from the fallout of Jeff Zucker’s tacit admission that his attempt to refashion the customary way Americans watch prime time had failed, Hollywood was ablaze with baldenfreude." But she failed to define the word.
