Washington, August 23 (ANI): Dannii Minogue has responded to the surfacing of steamy snaps of her on the Internet.

Lawyers acting on behalf of Australian pop star have bought the copyright to the photos, which allegedly show Dannii groping a female lapdancer.

Pictures of the X Factor judge, apparently enjoying a dance with naked female lap dancer, Jupiter, at Puss in Boots club in London last year, reappeared online this week.

But legal representatives of the star have purchased the copyright and are having them removed permanently from the net after a tabloid reported that they were still being circulated.

Dannii was said to be livid at the "creepy, nasty people" responsible for placing her snaps on the web.

"I was totally set up, but it woke me up to the fact that there are some creepy, nasty people out there willing to do anything take advantage of someone famous," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. (ANI)
