What’’s Chelsea Up To?
by Mike Krumboltz
She’’s long since moved out of 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, but inquiring minds still want to know: “What’’s new with Chelsea Clinton?” Searches on the former first daughter remain impressively high — Ms. Clinton consistently draws more lookups than Hollywood A-listers like Jennifer Garner and Tom Cruise, not to mention her dear ol” dad.
This past weekend, as news hit that Jenna Bush would start corresponding for NBC’’s “Today Show,” queries on Chelsea posted a jump. In fact, they did more than jump — searches surged a whopping 584% in a single day.
A big part of that surge has to be attributed to long-standing wedding rumors. Though the Clintons deny it, the New York Post reports that wedding preparations may well be heating up on Martha’’s Vineyard. From the Post: “A Post reporter yesterday spotted preparations in full gear for a very large gathering on Chappaquiddick Island.”
Fact or fiction, the rumors have had an effect on search — lookups on “chelsea clinton wedding” are on the rise, and queries for Chelsea’’s boyfriend, Marc Mezvinsky, are also heating up.
But what is Ms. Clinton doing with her time and considerable talents? According to various blogs including the Huffington Post, Clinton is currently enrolled at Columbia University’’s Mailman School for Public Health, earning a graduate degree. Whether or not a wedding is in her immediate future is really anybody’’s guess.
