Rihanna, Kravitz Nude Photos Leaked

Several nude photos of a woman believed to be Rihanna and a separate photo of Lenny Kravitz in the buff hit the internet this weekend.

The Rihanna (real name Robyn Fenty) photos allegedly came from her cell phone camera. Two photos show the woman's face, while others just display body parts. Another photo shows a man who looks like Rihanna's former boyfriend, Chris Brown, with a pair of panties on his head. You can see the photos here.

Brown's spokesperson told Essence.com that the singer has no connection to the photos and didn't leak them, contrary to something Perez Hilton posted on his website earlier this weekend.

Although it hasn't been confirmed it's Rihanna in the photos, TMZ reports Island Def Jam Music Group, Rihanna's label, has been sending letters to websites that have published the photos asking they take them down because they violate "the Artist's rights."

Brown faces charges of assault by means likely to create great bodily injury and making criminal threats for allegedly beating Rihanna in his rented Lamborghini the night before the Grammy Awards. Brown has pleaded not guilty.

He's due back in court on May 28 for a hearing, but his lawyer, Mark Geragos, wants the case dismissed because of a photo of a person believed to be Rihanna leaked onto the internet shortly after the Feb. 8 incident. Geragos argues the photo prejudices Brown's right to a fair trial.

"I am informed and believe that this highly prejudicial photograph was sold by an LAPD officer to the entertainment website, TMZ," Geragos said.

"The photograph was immediately viewed by hundreds of thousands of viewers and was displayed on every news channel for several weeks. In fact, the photograph still remains on the TMZ website.

"The purpose of the leak was necessary for profit and to vilify Mr. Brown and poison the potential jury pool."

As for that Kravitz photo, calm down, because it's only a partial nude. Kravitz uploaded a photo of himself in the shower to Twitpic, Twitter's photo-sharing utility. It was taken in Madrid, Spain, but Kravitz clearly has a sense of humour about it.

"Can't a guy take a shower in peace?" he wrote on his Twitter on Friday. "Fair game. They got me."
