Actress Blake Lively is insisting that an Internet trove of nude photos of a woman who looks just like her are “100 percent fake,” said TMZ.com. Publicists for the Gossip Girl actress, 23, emphatically said that no nude photos of her exist and threatened to sue any site or publication that published the fakes. The denial incited the hacker who released the original photos to put up 17 more, along with a taunting message: “Oh yes, Blake’s rep. These are totally fake. We really believe you. Want moar [sic]?” Lively has recently been photographed traveling and holding hands with actor Leonardo DiCaprio.
