Lady Gaga & Tony Bennett, POP star Lady Gaga revealed during her “A Very Gaga Thanksgiving” special that she recently stripped down for Tony Bennett so the iconic crooner could sketch her in the nu*e.

Bennett and Lady Gaga opened her holiday program together with a rendition of “The Lady Is a Tramp,” which the pair had recorded for his album “Duets II.” Later in the night, Lady Gaga revealed that Bennett’s nu*e drawing of her would appear in the January issue of Vanity Fair.

Apparently, photographer Annie Leibovitz dreamed up the idea to have Bennett sketch Lady Gaga. And while it sounded fine in theory, Lady Gaga said she had second thoughts as soon as she took off her clothes.

“I walked in and said, ‘Well Tony here we are.’ I dropped my robe and I got into position,” she revealed.

“I felt shy and thought ‘It’s Tony Bennett, why am I n*ked?’ He’s so handsome I feel terrible whenever his wife is around. He is so charming and such a gentleman.”

Bennett paid back the compliments, saying of Lady Gaga, “She is the most beautiful person I ever met but there is something very special about her … America’s answer to Picasso.”
