So, there’s this picture. Yup. Charmkin-sized Australian sprite Kylie Minogue performed at the G-A-Y club in London, a fan gave her this teddy bear and snapped a picture, and someone added it to her Facebook fan page. Until Facebook removed it for violating its terms of use. Listen, I saw Toy Story 3 too, and honestly, I can’t remember this “Lotso Tuggins” bear making an appearance.

Facebook is a place for your most flattering photos. Chin up, head tilted, duck lips, eyes looking up towards the corner of the ceiling. If that doesn’t work, ’shop it. After all, how else are you going to let your sixth grade boyfriend know exactly what he’s been missing since he dumped you at the movie theater after you watched Bebe’s Kids together? Always the internet iconoclast, Teri Hatcher is going the opposite direction and has taken to her Facebook to post shots of herself sans makeup, fresh out of the shower, to prove that she’s never had Botox. Teri says:

Out of the bath getting ready for bed. Thought about all those damn critics of my face. Love it or hate it, my face that is, no surgery, no implants, no matter what “they” say. Decided I’d shoot myself in to reveal some truths about “beauty” and hope it makes you all easier on yourself.

These will likely run in US’s weekly feature: “Stars: They’re Just Like US!” but let’s be honest here–are you just like Teri? Do you have a bulging, pulsating forehead vein so huge that it’s most likely sentient? Will you have to attack it with a shovel when it tries to eat your face off and crawl into a drainage pipe to subsist off moss and gravel, gathering strength for its next move: bringing together an army of like-minded souls hell-bent on taking over the airwaves and causing widespread anarchy so that they can seize American banks?

It seems that the Facebook Killer “Google Me” is indeed real. Former CTO Adam D’Angelo, who has since left Facebook to found Quora, wrote on his Q&A site that that not only is it “not a rumor,” that there are many people working on the project at Google, adding he is “completely confident about this.” [...]

Elevation Partners, the private equity firm, has acquired an additional 5m shares of Facebook for $120m, bringing its stake in the social network to about 1.5 per cent, according to a person with knowledge of the deal. In November, Elevation bought 2.5m shares for $90m. Elevation, which counts U2 front man Bono among its partners, [...]

Digg tech wiz Kevin Rose wrote 14 words that have some broad implications: “Huge rumor: Google to launch Facebook competitor very soon “Google Me,” very credible source.” Google may be getting late into the social networking game, but if anyone has the resources to challenge Facebook, it would be Google. Kevin Rose is pretty well [...]

This past Wednesday, Ann Tayor’s LOFT posted photos of a typical model – rail thin and blonde – on their Facebook page, wearing their new silk cargo pants. Introducing our drapey silk cargo. Your new go-to pant. They’re flowy, cropped, light as a feather and unbelievably versatile. We love them with a fitted blazer for [...]

Touchdown Jesus On Fire In Ohio:big Butter Jesus King of Kings Statue Destroyed – As the song goes “It’s the end of the world as we know it.” Late last night a giant six-story-tall statue of Jesus Christ known as “Touchdown Jesus” or “Big Butter Jesus” was [...]

I was pretty sure Facebook didn’t allow nudity. MySpace is your place for bathroom titty shots and bicurious hookups and glittery animated GIFs of Lil Wayne smoking a doob. Facebook is for retired moms who enjoy fertilizing their cartoon farms. Never the twain should meet, until 45-year-old mom Courtney Love posted pictures of her fertilized crotch farm on Facebook. Never have a felt so superpoked as I do now, looking at Courtney giving me the finger with her cooze out, and nakedly getting run over by what looks like one of Lady Gaga’s costumes. These photos are old, so it’s a mystery why Courtney decided to post them now. Somehow I doubt looking at a picture of deer-in-the-headlights Courtney getting flogged by Amanda Lepore will make anyone buy the new Hole record, but what do I know? I’m no Kenneth Babyface Edmonds.

After the cut, see the censored pics that were posted.

Want to see these minus the black bars? The whole series is here. Aw, look at the sad clown. She’s Emmett Kelly with a nicotine problem.
