Nudity, nudity, nudity! Does anyone else out there in cyber-land find it more than a little uncanny that three, count ‘em three, female celebs have endured the leaking of nuddie photos over the past two weeks?

Last Monday ‘opposite marriage’ crusader Miss California made headlines with her set of underage modeling portraits, then two days later Sean “Diddy” Combs’ protégée Cassie found herself at the center of fire after topless photos were plastered across the Web, and now gorgeous superstar Rihanna is facing a major backlash thanks to six sexy shots that may or may not be the real deal. Sheesh!

The alleged prints of RiRi, which we are not permitted to display (but you may be able to catch a glimpse here), were released Friday and show a woman who “resembles” the crooner standing in a hotel bathroom in various poses. The most controversial of the lot is the one of her covering her right breast with a pink towel, while the other is 100 percent exposed.

Though many are claiming that it’s impossible to tell if Rihanna is indeed the half-naked young lady since a close up shot was not included, the hair, body shape, and nipple piercing all point to the “Take a Bow” singer.

Also worth noting is that a man who looks about as close to Chris Brown as you can get is featured in one of the photos, wearing a pair of pink panties on his head. And what’s more, the naughty collection was supposedly taken at a Hollywood hotel that Rihanna was staying at with Brown. Hmm…

While the 21-year-old Barbados beauty’s reps have commented on the photographs, they only stated that the leaking is a “violation of artist’s rights.” We didn’t hear a denial in there, did you?

Of course what all this hoo-ha boils down to, the question that is on EVERYONE’S mind, is — who published these pics?
