The X Factor judge and former Pussycat Doll Nicole Scherzinger shows off her greatest assets as she poses in the nude for a new coffee table book celebrating the female backside.
In Culo by Mazzucco culo is an Italian word for buttocks Scherzinger, along with stars like Lady Gaga and Fergie, didn't leave much to the imagination in the name of art.
Scherzinger, 33, pays homage to her hometown, Honolulu, Hawaii, in a sepia portrait appearing in the book, which is a collaboration between Sean "Diddy" Combs, Interscope-Geffen-A&M Chairman Jimmy Iovine and fashion photographer Raphael Mazzucco (available in stores now).
With a lei wrapped around her neck and her skin decorated with henna tattoos, Scherzinger turns her bare back to the camera.
"Raphael is a true artist," Diddy says of the famed fashion photographer in a press release for the book. "He relies on instinct, capturing a raw, natural sense of beauty through his lens."
And for those who want a bottom like Scherzinger, the Hollywood hard body recently revealed her secrets. "My new motto is: Stay active, eat everything in moderation and stop being so tough on myself," she told Shape. "It's taken a long time to get here."
