It appears Lady GaGa has reclaimed her shock factor, this time with a “nude” image uploaded to Instagram.  The photo appears to be a promotional piece used to advertise her upcoming album ARTPOP and is rumored to be the cover photo for V Magazine (though it’s speculated the magazine cover could just be a fan mock-up). Either way, it’s an attention-grabbing picture and Mother Monster is definitely looking sexy with that big, fluffy golden mane.

“The Instagram Photo” comes on the heels of GaGa’s recently released ARTPOP teaser video footage – which shows her bizarrely licking a large fork or hand(?).   See the video below:
