Lady Gaga Gets Completely Naked

Lady Gaga doesn't really have to do much at all to generate interest in her upcoming album, ARTPOP. The pop songstress has remained out of the spotlight for so long, she's drummed up a significant amount of anticipation for her Next Big Move by mere fact of offering so little. So really, she didn't need to strip off all her clothes for V magazine. No, she did this for fun.
Photographers Inez Van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin posted a very revealing shot of Ms. Mother Monster to Instagram on Saturday, writing, "Get ready world for our pics of @ladygaga for @vmagazine !kisses iv #artpop."

In the shot, Gaga sits on a stool spread eagled, using one hand to cover her babymaker and the other arm to cover her bosom. She also has a tumble of blonde curls styled about her head and over one shoulder.
Last week, a snippet of Gaga's new song "Burqa" was unleashed on the Internet, albeit with sound quality so horrendous it's hard to get a read on much more than the lyrics. But one thing's clear: We need to brace ourselves for some serious pop provocation in the coming weeks.
