Celine Dion Poses Topless In Sexy Photo Spread For V Magazine

Celine Dion shed her top for a risqué photo shoot with V Magazine.

The Canadian singer looked enticing, sporting blunt bangs, figure-hugging leather pants and matching gloves. Husband Rene Angelil, 68, better take his heart medication before viewing the heart- fluttering photographs.

During the interview with the magazine Dion admits to being a free-spirit. "I'm like this in my real life," the 44-year old mother of three said at the photo shoot. "I was scared a little bit because this is so different for me, but I'm glad I did it. Usually there's always a reason when I do a photo shoot, there's not the opportunity to go crazy."

"I've been an open book all my life and I think that's why people like me," she continued. "For me to tell someone that my husband [René Angélil] had cancer, that we were struggling to have kids, or whatever we've gone through, talking about my life lets people know the real me."

Born in Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion comes from a very large family, it's no wonder she fought so hard to conceive her two beautiful children. Off course, the conversation soon veered towards her little ones. "I thought I had a life before, but until I was a mom, I had no idea. Why would I want a hit? Why would I want to win awards? There is nothing I can hope and wish for my career: I can just hope to be blessed as a mother for the rest of my life the way I am now. That's the only nomination I want."

Speaking of nominations the songstress has been nominated for and won over 1000 awards, according to the Caesar Palace website. In 2004, she received the Diamond award at the World Music Awards recognizing her status as the best-selling female artist of all time.

Just recently, the usually demure Nicole Kidman also went topless, and bottomless for the magazine's august issue.

Wonder who they're going to get next, Angelina Jolie, Mariah Carey? Dare we say Michelle Obama?  That last one is a long shot.
