I’m not sure what in the world is going on over at V Magazine. Their cover shot is of Cameron Diaz channeling “Papa Don’t Preach”/“True Blue” era Madonna. And now I have that song stuck in my head. “I’m gonna keep my baby… oh…” Anyway, a source close to the photo shoot (who I guess didn’t want their name mentioned with this strange cover) says that this shows how Cameron “toughens up”. Uh… sure. Because Cameron’s image was so soft before? And I really hope that hair is a wig.

Cameron Diaz has gone from golden-girl Hollywood actress to teasing tough-girl in one sexy cover shoot which seems to completely overhaul her image.

With cone bra, thigh-high black leather Prada boots and tiny shorts, she looks like bad-girl Madonna from her controversial 1990 Blonde Ambition Tour.

And her hairstyle – in an Agyness Deyn-style peroxide crop – is the spitting image of Madonna’s in the 1986 True Blue cover shot.

If there was any doubt of the look Diaz is going for, the cover’s strapline ‘Get into the groove’ gives the game away – a chorus line from one of Madge’s most famous songs from that tour, ‘Into the groove’.

The 36-year-old actress was photographed by duo Mert Alas & Marcus Piggott in London for the cover of the V Magazine Beauty Issue 2009, set to hit stands on July 7. The bra was fashioned by the stylist and made from gaffer tape.

To complete the image she has even had a tattoo of a naked woman in a rose painted onto her arm by an on-set artist.

Cameron Diaz is certainly making a statement by following in Madonna’s rather lewd groove.

My favorite part is this line: “The bra was fashioned by the stylist and made from gaffer tape.” The magazine wouldn’t even buy or rent a true old-school Gautier cone bra. They made it from tape! Hilarious. And if Cameron pretending to be Madonna wasn’t rough enough, this month’s V Magazine also has a NSFW topless photo of Lady Gaga. I could have gone my whole life without knowing what Lady Gaga’s nipple looks like, but there you go. She’s wearing a “a space orbit hat” and nothing else. Enjoy.
