Google Trends provides the 40 hottest keywords of the hour, and though the results change frequently, at any given time the list offers a great snapshot of what's on people's minds when it comes to pop culture. Here are the hottest trending topics today...

Spiritual America - Art! You guys are Googling art! How sophisticated of you. Sure it's underage nude celebrity art we're talking about here, but so be it. A British museum has been forced to pull down a 1975 Richard Prince photo entitled "Spiritual America" depicted 10-year-old Brooke Shields nude in a bathtub. The artist described the work to The Daily Mail as "an extremely complicated photo of a naked girl who looks like a boy made up to look like a woman." In other words, it really is art. Still, the Obscene Publications Unit of the Metropolitan Police forced the work pulled down. Maybe you're interested in hunting down the pic yourself. Maybe you're interested in the scoop. Whatever, it's art.

Zombieland Cameo - 'Zombieland' comes out tomorrow, and early reviews say there's a surprise cameo in the second half that alone makes the slapstick bloodbath worth the price of admission. Of course you're looking for the spoiler. C'mon, who is it? Muammar al-Gaddafi? David Bowie? Oprah? We're not saying. You're gonna have to trust the critics and see it for yourselves.

Fame Kills Tour Cancelled - Kanye West has dealt with a major PR blow since his Taylor Swift diss at the VMAs last month. It continues with tons flocking to search for details of his Fame Kills tour which has been, umm, killed. According to news tonight, Live Nation has pulled the plug on his tour with Lady Gaga, promising that refunds will be issued. The tour had been slated to kick off in November in Arizona. And yes, people are adding an extra 'l' to canceled. It's okay. We've done it too from time to time. More Backstory on Fame Kills Tour Canceled >>>

Dancing with the Stars No Panties - Um... say wha? OK, the world clearly believes there was an upskirt shot at some point during 'Dancing with the Stars' that revealed a little more than primetime network TV is allowed to show. Regrettably, we can't find the footage. Probably because the actual offense happened on 'So You Think You Can Dance' - and producers say it's just an illusion.

The Stepfather Trailer - Dreamy post-teen bro (Penn Badgley). Smokin' blonde girlfriend (Amber Heard). Sela Ward as the hot mom you wish was your own. And 'Nip/ Tuck's' Dylan Walsh as the psychotic, bloodthirsty stepfather that just moved into home. This movie has it all. Well, almost everything you'd want in a fall thriller. If only Shia watched the whole thing go down from across the street and LiLo's evil twin saves the day.

Free Night of Theater 2009 - In this economy, everyone loves a deal. That's why they are looking for the locations of the over-100 theaters across the country who are opening up their doors to theatergoers for free. Last fall, 650 theatre companies in 120 cities participated, with 65,000 audience members. More on the Fantastic Free Night of Theater Program at Their Official Site

Kimbo Slice vs. Roy Nelson- If you're a dude, you get a kick out of watching other dudes beat the crap out of each other, and you know Kimbo Slice. The hulking, homeless- looking streetfighter made a name for himself some years ago when his violent backyard brawls hit YouTube. He signed a pro contract in 2007, fought a couple lackluster bouts, and disappeared from the fighting scene... until Wednesday evening when Kimbo fought chubby journeyman Roy Nelson on Spike TV's popular MMA reality show 'The Ultimate Fighter.' Kimbo lost, but UFC boss Dana White says Kimbo will be back regardless. No surprise there, the guy gets people Googling.

Madonna Letterman - The queen of pop appeared on 'The Late Show with David Letterman' for the eighth last night and you want to know what went down. We'll tell ya... not much. She called her teenage daughter Lourdes "trouble," she said she'd never stepped foot inside a New York pizzeria, and she noted that her 8-year-marriage to Guy Richie lasted the course of the Bush Years. (OK, she also said she'd "rather get run over by a train" than get married again.)
