Blake Lively nude pictures are "fake"

Gossip Girl star Blake Lively's rep has claimed that purported nude pictures of the actress carried on several internet gossip websites are fake.

The photographs, which show a woman taking snaps of her nude body, surfaced on the internet on Tuesday.

Lively's spokesperson has publicly denied the legitimacy of the pictures, branding the images as "100% fake".

"Blake has never taken nude photos of herself," the rep said. "Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner."

Lively, who is believed to be dating Leonardo DiCaprio, recently admitted that tabloid coverage of her personal life does serve to increase Gossip Girl's ratings, adding: "It makes sense to draw parallels between the show and what goes on in my real life."

The Green Lantern, in which Lively co-stars with Ryan Reynolds, is released in US and UK cinemas on June 17.

Vanessa Hudgens furious over second nude photo scandal as police investigate online leak

Disney star Vanessa Hudgens is said to be furious after becoming embroiled in a second nude photo scandal.
Photos published online show a girl, said to be Hudgens, fully naked and posed provocatively.
Although the new images only emerged last night they are alleged to be from the same set which emerged online in 2007.
And now police are involved, according to Hudgens's lawyer, in a bid to discover who is leaking the photos online.

Christopher Wong told celebrity website TMZ: 'Vanessa is deeply upset and angered that these old photos, which were taken years ago, continue to resurface.
'It is particularly disturbing that whoever got a hold of these private photos seem to be intent on illegally leaking them out over a long period of time.'

'We are actively working with law enforcement to determine who is responsible and to hold them accountable for their actions.'

The pictures also appear to show a girl said to be Zoey 101 star Alexa Nikolas, who is seen kissing Hudgens.
'I was so unhealthy': Vanessa Hudgens reveals she gave up fast food after bursting out of High School Musical costume
Two years ago Hudgens sued the owner of a website which published the first set of shots, saying they were obtained by 'unknown methods' and posted without her 'knowledge or consent'.

The new photos have been released as the High School Musical star prepares to return to the big screen in her new movie Sucker Punch.

There has been some suggestion that the timing was designed to damage the success of her movie.
Talking about the photo scandal last year Hudgens admitted it had been a challenging time.
She said she still gets upset when she thinks about the controversy.

'I think it has made me stronger. But it still hurts,' she said. 'It sucks because they were supposed to be private, but at the same time a lot of actresses do it [nudity].
'Eventually, I'm sure that I will [on screen]. But I don't know if I would be able to do it now.'

Hudgens and her former High School Musical co-star Zac Efron, who supported her during the first scandal, ended their four-year romance in December.

And, in an interview with the April edition of Shape magazine, Hudgens finally reveals why they broke up - busy work schedules and filming at different locations around the world.

'Long-distance relationships are hard no matter what,' she said.
'When you don't have face-to-face time, it's just different. Having an iPhone helped, but it wasn't the same.'

The couple's re-life romance blossomed on the set of the Disney film series in which their characters Troy Bolton and Gabriella Montez were sweethearts.

'We grew up together, she says. 'It was nice to have someone to share all those experiences with. It was a good thing.

'The relationship kept me grounded and because I was with someone who knew me so well, I didn't need to try to be someone that I'm not.
