Showbiz pals: The singer's latest nude shot came as she treated fans to a sneak peek of her forthcoming collaboration with R&B star R. Kelly, ahead of the official release of Do What U Want on October 21

Wearing her long brunette locks draped seductively over her shoulder, the Applause hitmaker's naked body was scattered with leaves and moss as she positively smouldered into the camera.
Posting a link to a snippet of the track via her Twitter page, Gaga admitted she was overwhelmed by her loyal army of followers' response to the up-tempo tune.
Writing a series of tweets, she said: 'I feel like crying seeing your excitement for the new music it means the world to me, this music is my life.
'FUN FACT about ARTPOP: I sang the songs over and over until they transformed into a part of me. Then we pressed record. Each song on ARTPOP was inspired by different types of adrenalin, so it's an expression of the various rushes. I want you to feel them.'
This is the latest in a series of flesh-flashing shoots for the pop megastar, who shed her inhibitions on her risqué new album cover for ARTPOP, posing nude as she clutched her bare breasts. 

 

Statuesque: Lady Gaga revealed the cover for her new album PopArt via Twitter on Monday

The 27-year-old unveiled the new artwork on Twitter with a series of posts revealing that the provocative nude is a sculpture she commissioned specifically for her forthcoming album created by
highly regarded artist Jeff Koons.
The singer tweeted: 'I'm nervous&excited to share something that's such a piece of my heart. Something I cherish deeply.'
She went on to provide a countdown: 'Album cover can be unlocked in 30 min by trending #iHeartARTPOP !'
Gaga then endearingly admitted her own nervousness: 'I'll be in the bathroom throwing up'.
Minutes later she unveiled the cover art with the caption: 'FULL ARTPOP ALBUM COVER.'

Tired out: Lady Gaga shared a photo on Instagram saying she was tired and proud of ARTPOP

By way of explanation she wrote: 'Please welcome Jeff Koons into our family [plus] shower him with love for the the talents he has shared with us. A pure and genuine collaborator.'
Her final message revealed that the image of her naked was in fact a sculpture created by pop artist Jeff Koons, who famously immortalised Michael Jackson and his pet chimpanzee Bubbles with a similar sculpture in 1988.
The fragmented collage art surrounding Gaga's nude bust on the album cover appears to be made of cut outs from Botticelli's The Birth of Venus, painted in 1486.

A Venus in her own right: Gaga, performing in London at the beginning of September, has been working her goddess look for her forthcoming album

The Roman goddess originally represented love, beauty, sex, and fertility - and Gaga seems to be dressing the part during her performances and the music video for her single Applause.
Seeming to mimic the large windblown hair and seashell themes of the classic painting, Gaga's costume for Applause - both in her stage performances and in the official video - features a large wig and a clamshell bikini.
The motifs could represent an underlying thematic message regarding sex and empowerment for the forthcoming album.

Not the first time: The 27-year-old posed nearly completely nude for her 2010 album cover for Remix

Either way, Gaga has clearly made the painting of Venus a theme both in her style and cover art for ARTPOP.
Another image on the album cover is a blue ball, that is strategically placed to protect the Poker Face singer's modesty.
According to MTV.com the entire sculpture, including Gaga, is made from white plaster and is part of Koons' ongoing series called Gazing Ball.
The release date for ARTPOP is scheduled for November 11.

In a shocking turn of events, the aviation ministry and its officials have begun a manhunt for the official that leaked information about the purchase of expensive bullet-proof cars for the Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah.

The cars, reportedly bought for 255 million naira, were acquired for Mrs. Oduah by the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) in a move which has seen a lot of backlash with various groups calling for investigations into the minister’s affairs and others demanding her resignation.

Nigerian Eye reports:

The Director-General, NCAA, Capt. Fola Akinkuotu, disclosed this at a press conference at the head office of the Federal Ministry of Aviation in Abuja on Friday,

He said the Federal Government was concerned about how the information got leaked to the public, noting that whoever leaked the information committed a criminal offence. He explained that the agency had begun moves to uncover the person[s] that leaked the information to the public.

He said, “I am not saying that this particular information should not be put in the public domain. But how it was obtained is the concern. If somebody breaks into an office and makes copies of official documents, then the break-in has become criminal.

“So we are in the process of trying to find the source of this leakage and I am very concerned about it. Because this information may look trivial but there are other information that we have that are confidential and it is only fair for us to respect the confidentiality of information. I am not saying that they broke into our office, but they obtained the information illegally.”

The visibly terrified Akinkuotu said he was stunned to see the documents in the open, stressing that the information were leaked illegally.

He said he was “shell shocked that government information and particularly information from the civil aviation authority has gotten into public purview in an illegal manner. It is criminal! However, what has been done has been done, but I think when such information is gotten, you should have come to the agency to ask. We are not shy to take your questions.”

Akinkuotu stated that Snowden of the United States ran away after leaking confidential information, adding, “He (Snowden) went on the run after putting such information in the public domain. The sources of the leak I don’t know, but yesterday, I issued a circular to all staff on this issue. I will read a little part of the circular: ‘Without prejudice to the nature and the purpose of this act, you should know that leakage and ultimate publication is a matter of great concern to the authority.’

NCAA had purchased two vehicles valued at a whopping $1.6m said to have been delivered to Oduah in August this year. The armoured vehicles, BMW 760 Li, were bought from Coscharis Motors Limited in Lagos.

An online news medium, SaharaReporters, had reported on Tuesday that the armoured vehicles were delivered to the minister in August.

The medium reported that documents in its possession showed that the transaction for the purchase of the two BMW cars started in June, but the request for the delivery of and payment for them was fast-tracked between August 13 and 15, 2013.

The transaction involved the NCAA, First Bank of Nigeria, and Coscharis Motors Limited, according to the report.

The two black BMW 760 Li HSS vehicles had chasis numbers WBAHP41050DW68032 and WBAHP41010DW68044, and were reportedly delivered to the NCAA on August 13, 2013. They were received by two store managers, F. Onoabhagbe and Y. A. Amzat, who is also the agency’s head of transport.
