Your day according to Google: It is going to be a rock and roll day for sure: seven of the top 10 hot searches this morning are related to the death of drummer Jimmy Sullivan, "the Rev" of rock for heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold. Never heard of A7X? Think Iron Maiden meets Guns N Roses during Slayer's set at OzzFest. No solid news yet on the cause of the 28-year-old's death.

And if those few opening lines of today's Cup O' Google don't have you already clicking over to iTunes to look up some kick ass rock of yore, consider this nugget: Van Morrison, at age 64, became a daddy for the third time when his wife GiGi gave birth yesterday to George Ivan Morrison III.

The remainder of the top ten searches were no less alarming - Erik Gates of TV's Mythbusters show fell through a skylight on a rooftop and plunged 30 feet to his death, and the Food and Drug Administration recalled Tylenol Arthritis Pain Caplets with the EZ Open Cap (100 count) after some consumers complained of a musty, moldy smell and reported nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea.

Flipping to the second page of the top 20, things seem no less bleak. Any list with the words "Frank Gifford" can't be good, but thankfully, it seems to be one of those weird Internet blips not associated with any actual news about the sportscaster and KLG sidekick. The same isn't true of actor Charlie Sheen and his wife Brooke, who had quite the eventful Christmas in Aspen. New details are emerging about his arrest that morning on domestic violence charges, with the AP quoting from an arrest warrant affidavit in which Brooke Mueller Sheen says her husband straddled her on a bed, held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her. The fracas started when she allegedly told him she wanted a divorce.

And rounding out this weird morning is a new and easy-to-remember nickname for Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Nigerian known in most circles as the "underwear bomber" for trying to ignite his crotch filled with PETN explosives during a flight from Amsterdam to Detroit: his Internet moniker is farouk1986. We still prefer "underwear bomber."

If there is any dim sparkle of decent news on the top 20 list this morning, it's the announcement that GM is holding a fire sale on discontinued cars like Saturns and Pontiacs. Yes, it's a stretch, but if you're truly needy for new wheels and are desperate enough to consider a Saturn, discounts can be as deep as 46 percent. The offer expires on Jan. 4.
