Lady Gaga Dares to Bare It All

Lady Gaga is going nude. A bare-faced and an unclothed Gaga spread her legs for a V magazine spread and it's just another reminder to Little Monsters everywhere that her eagerly awaited album, ARTPOP, still isn't in their paws yet.

In the pic, the singer, who has never been known for her modesty, sports a wavy dirty blonde mane, sits atop a stool, opens her legs and uses her hands to covers herself. All is a day's work for the 27-year-old popstar. Photographer Vinoodh Matadi posted the image on his Instagram page on Saturday with the following caption: "Get ready world for our pics of @ladygaga for @vmagazine !kisses iv #artpop."

In addition to the racy pic, a 23-second clip of Gaga has been leaked online that is believed to be part of promotional work for the upcoming album. In the vid, the singer licks a mannequin's hand in slow motion -- needless to say it's pretty damn creepy. But we'd expect nothing else from the envelope-pushing singer.

While we may not be getting our aural fixation from Gaga quite, Gaga announced earlier this month that ARTPOP’s debut track will be released on August 19 and the full album will be in stores and available for download November 11.

Tongues are wagging worldwide.
