LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A series of widely circulated photographs purporting to show "Gossip Girl" actress Blake Lively posing naked are "100 percent fake," her spokeswoman said on Tuesday.

The Internet was abuzz late in the day as the five photos of a naked busty blond taking snapshots of herself with an iPhone in front of a bathroom mirror spread among major gossip websites.

"Blake Lively won't be happy about this," said celebrity blogger Perez Hilton, noting that the 23-year-old starlet has just reportedly started dating Leonardo DiCaprio.

Rival site Zap2It, noting the early-generation iPhone and different shaped nose, suggested the pictures were several years old.

In four of the pictures, the woman's face was partially concealed by her phone. The fifth was too blurry to make a definitive call. But a spokeswoman for the squeaky-clean actress was in doubt.

"The photos of Blake Lively which have just surfaced on various websites ... are 100 percent FAKE," the spokeswoman said. "Blake has never taken nude photos of herself."

Moreover, Lively will take legal action against any outlets that publish the photos, the spokeswoman added.

Lively rose to fame in the teen television soap "Gossip Girl," and had a sex scene in the 2010 crime thriller "The Town." Earlier this year she signed on as the new face of French fashion house Chanel's Mademoiselle handbag ad campaign.

Now 17 more snaps are posted online in wake of star's denial Drama: Blake Lively has found herself the subject of a nude photo scandal

In drama worthy of a Gossip Girl plotline, Blake Lively has found herself the subject of a nude photo scandal.

Pictures surfaced online this week purportedly showing the actress posing naked in a series of self-portraits.

Some observers noted that the photographs show an iPhone similar to the one the actress has been seen carrying around on the set of her hit TV show.

However, the 23-year-old has branded the grainy photos '100 per cent fake'. 

A spokesperson for the star told America's People magazine: 'Blake has never taken nude photos of herself.

'Blake will pursue legal action against the publication which initially published these photographs and any other outlets that republish them in any manner.'

'Fake': These pictures emerged online purporting to be the actress

In the wake of Lively's denial, 17 more photos have been posted with the hacker scoffing at claims the snaps have been photoshopped, according to TMZ.com.

The website says the person who posted them posted an accompanying message: 'Oh, yes, Blake's rep. These are totally fake. We really, really believe you. Want moar? BTW, thanks for all the fats.'

Two of the new photos show a woman clothed, holding an iPhone, which TMZ is running on its website.

But some of the other snaps show the woman with tattoo, TMZ reports, but Lively is not known to have any tattoos.

Blake is currently on a European vacation with her rumoured new boyfriend Leonardo DiCaprio.

The pair were spotted enjoying a series of romantic dates on the French Riviera this week.

The Inception star, 36, recently split from his long-term girlfriend, teh model Bar Refaeli, while Lively previously dated her Gossip Girl co-star Penn Badgley.
