Prince Harry, move over – for a surprisingly immodest Céline Dion!
The singer proves she is anything but camera-shy as she takes V into her Florida home for a risqué high-fashion photo shoot for the magazine's travel issue (on newsstands Aug. 30). Sporting blunt bangs, the mother of three poses topless and in barely-there outfits.
"I'm like this in my real life," Dion, 44, said of the surprising 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."
With more than 200 million albums sold worldwide, five Grammys and countless hit records, Dion credits her illustrious career to maintaining the same persona on and off-stage.
"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."
Although she'll continue to perform in Las Vegas as part of a three-year residency, the Quebec-born singer's main priority is her family.
"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."

In a follow up story TMI (Too Much Information) got some commentary and inside scoops.
Her husband René Angélil, was quoted as saying "I have to look at that hag every night. Now you know what it's like."
A spokesman for Stevie Wonder was quoted as saying "Stevie is not concerned. He is blind. But he feels for the rest of you."
Celine was going to cover her breasts, but the photographer told her not to bother. Apparently the camera could not pick them up and there wasn't a lens strong enough that would.
The photographer suggested a bag over Celine's head, but she declined.
The celebrity porn pic site, Mr. Skin, was quoted as stating: "No, we will not be posting those pics on our site. There is no interest. She doesn't have boobs anyway, right?"
The final word goes to Celine. "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."
In this case, the reason was to gross out all the men who have avoided looking at her in the past and to re affirm that they should appreciate their wives that much more today.
