THEY'RE HOT! They're sexy! They're shocking! They're the world-exclusive results of an ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY special investigation into the stupefying array of words most frequently abused by Entertainment Tonight, Extra!, and Hard Copy. As February sweeps heat up the competition, these tabloid teasers ask the tough questions and expose the explosive rumors in verbal acrobatics meant to grab your frazzled, frenzied, fevered attention. Over the course of one week, we counted the number of times certain words or phrases were used by these shows. If nothing else, our study reveals sizzling's sad decline.
