Lady GagaLady Gaga sure knows how to sell albums, even if it’s one you already purchased.

A deluxe edition of The Fame Monster hit shelves this week, featuring a spread of high-class nude photos by none other than celebrity photographer, David LaChapelle, according to The Daily Mail UK.

One of the photos features Gaga, completely nude, in the arms of Kanye West as he stares blankly into the distance while a volcano is erupting behind them. Another shows her completely nude, strapped to an electric generator with strategically placed sparks erupting from her hands and nether regions.

The photos are futuristic and avant-garde, in the style of LaChapelle who is known both for his vivid photography and videos. LaChapelle has photographed countless stars, including Rihanna, Angelina Jolie, Marilyn Manson and David Beckham, to name a few, and has produced and directed music videos by Elton John, No Doubt, Amy Winehouse and others. This is not his first run-in with Gaga – he photographed her for her Rolling Stone cover earlier this year.

The Fame Monster will feature the original 12 tracks from her debut, The Fame, as well as eight new songs, paper dolls, a fanzine, a puzzle and 3D glasses.

And, as if full frontal nudity were not enough, Lady GaGa is also including a lock of her hair in every purchase. If sales continue her chart-topping trend, the poor girl will be in wigs until 2012.
