Madonna enlists the help of her new personal trainer Nicole Winhoffer for her recent workout DVDs

Madonna appears to be throwing a punch at former trainer Tracy Anderson.

The Material Girl and her new trainer, Nicole Winhoffer, have released their own collection of workout DVDs to cash in on the January health and fitness bandwagon.

Madonna’s rep insists the release has nothing to do with Ms Anderson though.

'This is not about being competitive with Tracy. It’s just timing,' they said.

A source close to the fitness guru scoffed to the Post: 'Madonna and that trainer are not on her radar. She could not care less.'

Now a huge star, Playboy publishes some of the shots taken in 1979 and 1980 in a revealing spread. A year earlier, the magazine turned down nude photos of Miss America winner Vanessa Williams , which their rival Penthouse published. "We think Vanessa genuinely didn't know what she was doing, didn't know her photos might be published," the article states. "Madonna, on the other hand, posed repeatedly for two noted photographers who routinely publish what they shoot." One of the photographers, Lee Friedlander, says of the shoot: "She seemed very confident, a street-wise girl." Madonna has little to say on the matter, but doesn't shy away. "I'm not ashamed,&q
