What’s up with the Jim Belushi Trading Places costume searches

Whoever can tell me the answer to this will be my new hero.
In the last two days like 40 people – or 1 really obsessed one – have come to my blog after searching for some form of “Jim Belushi’s costume in Trading Places.” Did this costume just commit a crime? Is Jim Belushi dead? What’s up with this?
