Tattoo Lies? Tell Us It Isn’t So Vanessa

Almost every actor, actress, singer or other type of celebrity is getting a tattoo or three these days. That in itself is not exactly the kind of news that will stop the presses anymore. Gone are the days when a picture of someone romping on a beach and accidentally showing off their latest tattoo was the kind of thing to get you into trouble. In fact, it has gotten so routine that studios regularly have it written into contracts where the tattoos can be, and actors have it written into contracts that as long as they can disguise or hide them, all is cool. After all, that is what makeup and CGI is for these days.

But the other night, actress Vanessa Hudgens got into a bit of a pickle on the Tonight Show. The funny thing is it wasn’t as much for a tattoo she had as for a tattoo she didn’t actually have. Because the tabloids were busy showing off Vanessa having a fun time on a beach with her new tattoo, and when Jay Leno quizzed her about it, she admitted it was a fake.

You could have heard a pin drop when she said it. I guess having a fake tattoo these days is just as bad as having a real one in the old days. Personally, I thought she was kinda cute and giggly in explaining how she loves to write all over her body and that this phrase on her foot “All You Need Is Love” from the Beatles song, was just that. She had written it in pen on her foot for fun and then went out on the beach.

But heck – you have to see it for yourself to get the full feel of the faux-pas that almost wasn’t. Check it out here:
