Quebec's beloved songstress has always been known for her wholesome image. We saw her blossom from a toothy teenager to a beautiful, influential and classy woman.

But today, Celine Dion is making headlines for a much different reason... in the August 30th issue of V Magazine, she is pictured topless! In another shot, she's also donning a pair of revealing underwear that show off her toned backside.

Here's what she had to say to V Magazine:

"I'm like this in my real life. 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."

She also said, "I've been an open book all my life and I think that's why people like me," she said. "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."

Are you surprised that Celine has taken on this "new" image? Let us know!
