(Newser) – Sorry, Bono fans, Facebook doesn't lie. The married U2 frontman spent a night in St. Tropez partying with two 19-year-olds, Australia’s News Network reports after the girls posted pics—and details—on their Facebook pages. But Bono didn't cross the line. “For somebody who's much older than I am … no thank you,” writes American fashion student Andrea Feick.

So what did happen? Photos show Bono, trademark shades in place, drinking with the pair at a beachfront bar. Later, according to the diaries, the threesome partied with Bono pal Simon Carmody on a $12 million yacht owned by The Edge, U2's guitarist.

According to the diary entry of one of the 19-year-olds who partied with Bono in St. Tropez, the fun moved to a yacht owned by U2 guitarist the Edge late-night.
