LOS ANGELES | Wed Sep 14, 2011 7:25pm EDT

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Actress Scarlett Johansson has become the latest celebrity to fall victim to apparent leaked nude photos from her mobile phone, which appeared on a website on Wednesday.

The FBI has been drafted by "The Avengers" actress to investigate, according to celebrity news website TMZ. An FBI spokesman declined to confirm or deny the investigation, and a representative for Johansson was not immediately available to comment.

The photos show the 26 year-old actress in a towel with an exposed backside, while another shows her topless. They were posted on several celebrity gossip websites.

Johansson's nude pictures are the latest to hit the Internet after actresses including Jessica Alba and Vanessa Hudgens also suffered the embarrassment of explicit photos appearing on the Web.

Yawn. Seriously, yawn. Her current resume is nothing but comic book pictures and there are no weddings/divorces/babies to promote. I know it’s hard to stay in the headlines but this is incredibly desperate.
