Mark Zuckerberg's sister Randi accidentally shared a private family photo, apparently confused by or unable to grasp Facebook's privacy settings.

How's that for the definition of irony?

Randi Zuckerberg, the former head of marketing for Facebook and the executive producer of Bravo's reality series Silicon Valley, posted the above photo on Facebook.

The candid family picture is of Randi and her family (including sister Arielle Zuckerberg and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg) reacting to the new Poke app.

The problem arose when Callie Schweitzer, director of marketing and projects at VoxMedia, saw the photo on Facebook, but posted it publicly on Twitter.

The health condition of former United States President George H.W. Bush appears to be deteriorating, as the 88-year-old has been in intensive care since Sunday.

Bush's camp says it is "cautiously optimistic" for his recovery, but clearly things haven't improved since Bush was hospitalized in November due to bronchitis.

Jim McGrath, Bush's spokesman in Houston, Texas, said in a brief email that Bush was admitted to the ICU at the city's Methodist Hospital on Sunday.

Bush has been visited by daughter Dorothy and sons Neil, Jeb and George W.

The 41st Commander-in-Chief's fever has gone up in the last few days, and doctors have been unable to control it. Few other details are available at this time.

Here's hoping for the best for H.W. and family.

A Tim Tebow trade will almost certainly go down this offseason, if the team doesn't cut its backup quarterback outright.

But while he's still a member of this terrible organization, the maligned quarterback wants to set the record straight: No, he never refused to play for the squad during last week's game against San Diego.

Because Mark Sanchez sucks, he was benched in favor of Greg McElroy, with reports then surfacing that Tebow - offended over being passed over for the gig - told Rex Ryan not to use him at all in the game.

Not even in the Wildcat formation for which his skill set is supposedly made.

One year ago, it was uncertain whether Peyton Manning and Adrian Peterson would even suit up in 2012, due to a pair of gruesome injuries.

But now the former is headed for the playoffs, the latter may set the all-time rushing record and both stars have been named Pro Bowl starters.

The NFL announced the rosters last night for its meaningless postseason celebration, with Manning under center for the AFC and Peterson in the backfield for the NFC.

Looks like the leak of the Chad Johnson sex tape was not Ocho's doing.

Either that, or he's going to great, devious lengths to cover his tracks, because the former NFL star is turning to the FBI for help, according to a TMZ report.

The footage, which found its way online Christmas Day (nice stocking stuffer), shows Eight-Five in a Florida hotel room, putting it to an unknown female.

Chad Johnson, who says the sex tape was filmed 3-4 years ago, is reportedly furious, and believes the video was mysteriously hacked from his phone.

Sarah Silverman is standing up for the concept of art. And the pervasive use of a certain racial slur. Allow us to explain...

With Spike Lee criticizing director Quentin Tarantino for the abundance of N-Word utterances in Django Unchained (over 110, according to unofficial counts), the female comedian is coming out in defense of the film and wondering:

"Doesn't it take place like during slavery? Wouldn't it be odd if they didn't have that horrific word in it?"

Silverman tells TMZ that she likes Lee, but...

"[Spike's] got a lot of mishegas with a lot of art. I think you can't really tell art what to do."

Movie goers didn't seem to have any misgivings about the film, as Django Unchained broke box office records for an R-rated movie on Christmas day.

Have you seen it? What do you think of its N-Word use? It is...
