Reports continue to come in of female celebrities who've been hacked mostly by creeps looking for nude pics. TMZ says about 50 celebs have been hit, and the latest may be "Gossip Girl" Blake Lively. Photos of a naked woman who looks like the actress have popped up all over the web. Though the photos show a phone Lively owns and tattoos like ones she wore in "The Town," she says the images are not her. If they are her at least she can take solace in knowing she's in some impressive company...

2011 just hasn't been Christina Aguilera's year -- she flubbed the words to the National Anthem during the Super Bowl, tripped during a performance at the Grammy Awards, finalized her divorce and got arrested. But wait, that's not all! Hackers also reportedly gained access to Aguilera's e-mail addresses and -- in some cases -- nude photos.

Dianna Agron has gained attention for her role as Quinn on "Glee" and for starring in the recent film "I Am Number Four." TMZ reports the primary motivation of the hackers isn't money -- it's the thrill of hacking.

For Natalie Portman, the reported leaked photos come on the heels of a few stellar months -- an Oscar for Best Actress for her role in "Black Swan," a pregnancy and an engagement.

Disney star Selena Gomez helmed the hit show "Wizards of Waverly Place" and the family film "Ramona and Beezus." She also incurred the wrath of tween girls everywhere by taking her relationship with Justin Bieber public. The ring has been hocking some of the photos and video to various Internet sites and others, according to TMZ.

"High School Musical" star Vanessa Hudgens has met with law enforcement over nude photos and video that were hacked from her Gmail account. Hudgens isn't a stranger to leaked nude photos -- pics of the the Disney star were leaked in 2007 and again in 2009.

Like Vanessa Hudgens, Miley Cyrus has taken heat for photos in the past, including a racy photo shoot for Vanity Fair and a shot of her smoking salvia from a bong.

This is the most recent blow to Disney queen Demi Lovato, who checked herself into rehab in late 2010 after reportedly punching a backup dancer. The hackers reportedly gained access to more than 100 active email addresses of celebrities, politicians and sports stars.

Jessica Alba has starred in "Little Fockers" and "Sin City." She recently announced she's pregnant with her second child. The FBI is conducting an investigation into a ring of hackers. Agents believe photos and video of all 50 celebrities can be traced back to the ringleader of the operation.

Actress Scarlett Johansson reportedly had a nude photo hacked from her iPhone. The star recently split from fellow A-lister Ryan Reynolds and is rumored to be dating Sean Penn.

Lindsey Vonn won gold for downhill skiing at the 2010 Winter Olympics, the first American woman to achieve the honor. In all, the FBI believes the ring has targeted 50 celebs -- all female, according to TMZ.

Another Olympic gold medalist, Carly Patterson was the all-around gymnastics champion at the 2004 games.

Emma Caulfield has appeared on "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Life Unexpected" and "General Hospital." Reportedly, fingerprints from one of the hackers was found on every leaked photo.

"Cougar Town" star and Michelle Williams BFF (she was her date to this year's Oscars) Busy Philipps was targeted. Video was reportedly taken from Philipps' phone.

Former "Heroes" star Ali Larter took it (mostly) off for the infamous whipped cream scene in the 1999 movie "Varsity Blues." She recently gave birth to her first child.

Singer and actress Renee Olstead is best known for her role as Madison Cooperstein in ABC Family's "The Secret Life of the American Teenager." The FBI reportedly knows the identity of the primary hacker, though no arrests have been made so far.
