Nude photos of Marilyn Manson and his guitarist Twiggy Ramirez, for those of you who might be hankering for such things, appeared last week in the new issue of the gay S&M magazine "Honcho."

Somewhat suspiciously, the photos were taken five years ago by sleaze filmmaker Richard Kern ("Fingered," "King Of Sex," "Submit To Me Now"). The magazine says that the photos are a birthday tribute of sorts to Manson, who celebrated his birthday on January 5.

As for Marilyn Manson the band, they are currently down under as part of Australia's Big Day Out festival, which pairs Manson with future tourmates Hole.
