"Uncovered," the edition from Lady Gaga?

"Uncovered," the edition witnesses the singer striking some provocative poses taken with the help of famed photographer Sebastian Faena.
GaGa, as seen in one of her pics for the publication, is snapped donning a sculptural headgear, which is almost the same with the one she used while making an appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" back in May. The particular shot sees her covering her right breast with her left hand, yet exposing her left nipple to the lens.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta (born March 28, 1986), better known by her stage name Lady Gaga, is an American recording artist. At Interscope Records, she worked as a songwriter penning music for established artists, such as Akon. During the same time, she began to play her music in clubs throughout New York City. After Akon recognized that Gaga also had vocal talent, he signed her to a joint deal with his own label, Kon Live Distribution. Gaga then started to work on new material for her debut album.

She began working with a collective called the "Haus of Gaga" in 2008 and released her debut album The Fame, which she explained was "about how anyone can feel famous." The album peaked in countries like United Kingdom and Canada while being critically appreciated. To date, the album has spawned the international number one singles "Just Dance" (nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 51st Grammy Awards) and "Poker Face." After performing as the supporting act for New Kids On The Block and Pussycat Dolls, Gaga started her own headlining The Fame Ball Tour.

Gaga has been influenced by fashion and has been appreciated for her provocative sense of style and her influence on other celebrities. Musically, she is inspired by glam rockers such as David Bowie and Queen as well as pop singers like Michael Jackson and Madonna.

In another shot, GaGa is spotted donning a transparent white dress combined with matching hat. She is seen in the photo sitting and leaning half of her body on her right elbow. Her see-through dress shows her nude boobs.

While V Magazine's Beauty/Fall Preview issue won't be available for purchase until Tuesday, July 7, behind the scene footage of the photo shoot is provided below. The shoot reportedly took place in Malibu, California.

HOT NEWS : CRACKER BARREL IT'S GOOD FOR YOU - DOLLY PARTON!

HOT NEWS : CRACKER BARREL IT'S GOOD FOR YOU - DOLLY PARTON!

In a deal that seems as natural as biscuits and gravy, Dolly Parton and Cracker Barrel Old Country Store have partnered to release "Backwoods Barbie: The Collector's Edition."

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is a Grammy Award-winning American singer-songwriter, author, actress and philanthropist, known for her prolific work in country music. In the 44 years since her national chart debut, she remains the most successful female artist in the history of the genre, with 25 number-one singles (a record for a female artist), and a record 42 top-10 country albums. She has the distinction of having performed on a top-5 country hit in each of the last five decades and is the only artist to score a No. 1 country single in each of the past four decades

The project not only propelled the veteran entertainer back into the top 10 of Billboard's Top Country Albums chart but also became the first Cracker Barrel title to be tracked by Nielsen SoundScan.

"Our exclusive music program has grown to the point that participating in SoundScan just makes good sense," says Cracker Barrel vice president of marketing Peter Keiser.

Released March 24, "Collector's Edition" debuted at No. 9 on Top Country Albums and No. 40 on the Billboard 200, selling 12,000 copies its first week. Buoyed by Parton's April 5 appearance on "60 Minutes" and a continued push by Cracker Barrel, the set sold 10,000 units the following week, charting at No. 14 on the country list. The album features three cuts exclusive to Cracker Barrel and new packaging.

"Backwoods Barbie" originally bowed last year on Parton's Dolly Records. The title track will be featured in the Broadway musical "9 to 5," for which Parton wrote the score. The musical's formal premiere takes place April 30 at the Marquis Theater in New York.

"Me and Cracker Barrel have a lot in common: We're both Tennessee-based and country people," Parton said during a break from "9 to 5" rehearsals. "I thought we'd make a perfect pairing, and evidently it's working."

In addition to the CD, Cracker Barrel is selling a limited-edition pink rocking chair and collector's edition photo album. "We're proud of that chair," Parton says with a laugh. "We figured they needed a pink one out there. And the picture book is doing great. People like to follow their favorite artists and see what they've done through the years."

Cracker Barrel has partnered with Kenny Rogers, Amy Grant and other artists on CDs, but the Parton partnership is the first to include merchandise.

"Only 1,350 rockers were made, and we sold approximately 70 percent in the first two weeks," Keiser says. "The collector's edition photo album has sold more the first week than any book we've sold at Cracker Barrel."

Spearswould be accompanying mini magic show?

Britney Jean Spears (born December 2, 1981) is a Grammy Award-winning American pop singer and entertainer.

Raised in Kentwood, Louisiana, Spears first appeared on national television in 1992 as a contestant on the Star Search program, and went on to star in Disney Channel's television series The New Mickey Mouse Club from 1993 to 1994. In 1997, Spears signed a recording contract with Jive, releasing her debut album ...Baby One More Time in 1999. The album established her as a pop icon and "bona fide pop phenomenon", credited for influencing the revival of teen pop in the late 1990s.Spears released her sixth studio album Circus on her 27th birthday in December 2008.

Sort of like a wayward career, Britney Spears is going to disappear into thin air—and then magically reappear, to her fans' ecstatic delight.

"Right away, she got into the boxes and into the magic contraptions to learn the stuff, and she's so excited about this tour and all the elements that are in it," illusionist-comedian Ed Alonzo, "the Misfit of Magic" (and former Saved by the Bell diner owner) who will be doing a number with Spears on her Circus tour, tells E! News.

The pop star will serve as Alonzo's assistant in the bit.

"We're going to be doing the classics of magic but a little high-tech," he said. "We'll be doing a little dissection, transposition, a vanish, an appearance—and if I do a trick, she doesn't just hold the props, she's actually getting inside the big boxes or I am slicing her up."

Sounds a bit risky, which is perhaps why Team Spears decided to leave the tricks to a professional.

I "made [the tricks] really easy for her...but there are some complicated things that she is doing that you would think a contortionist would have to do, or a trained magician's assistant," Alonzo said. "But because...she's a dancer, it really makes sense to put her in the magic, and it works and she's really, really good at it."

"Some of it's pretty scary, but she gets right in there with no reservations," he added.

Alonzo wouldn't divulge which Spears tunes would be accompanying his mini magic show, but—news flash—he did assure us that the overall show will feature "the best music of Britney that people have loved over the years and, of course, brand-new favorites from the new album."

And, like us, Alonzo has only seen Spears in warm-up clothes and sneakers during rehearsals, although she has been testing out different pairs of heels here and there.

The three-ring circus-inspired set is "exactly what you would see in a big giant Vegas production show, but it's going to be on the road," he said, and anywhere from 75 to 100 crew members and performers are usually around at any given time.

"It's going to be an amazing concert for people to watch," he said. "It's like watching a big Cirque du Soleil high-tech circus, but with a really focused star in the middle of all of this."

For info,

Spears is ranked as the eighth best-selling female recording artist in the United States with 32 million sold albums certified by the Recording Industry Association of America and one of the world's best-selling music artists having sold an estimated 85 million records worldwide. Spears also holds the title to multiple Guinness World Records.
