Jennifer Lopez proves she has no intention of slowing down with steamy new video featuring topless shots with new 'tattoos'

By Holly Thomas


Follow the Leader: Jennifer Lopez shows off an impressive tattoo reading Lideres- meaning 'leader' in Spanish- in her new video

Jennifer Lopez proves she's still got the jump on younger music stars with her fast-paced new video for her single Follow The Leader, a collaboration with Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel.

The video- which was released on Twitter- sees J-Lo waking up topless in a plush apartment in Acapulco Mexico, when she receives a message saying 'Wanna play?' from Wisin.

She shows off two pretty impressive new 'tattoos' on her back and chest as she sits topless on the bed.

Body art: Jennifer shows off a second tattoo, which looks like a dragon, on her back as she stretches

The fake tattoo shown on J-Lo's chest as she sits up spells 'Lideres', meaning 'leader' in Spanish.

The singer stretches, then puts on a black top and tight trousers, and starts an epic chase around the city with the Winsen and , leaping across the streets and through buildings, offering a Crouching Tuger Hidden Dragon-style tour.

These scenes are interspersed with shots of Jennifer dancing on a rooftop in plastic black trousers and a gold and black top.


Teamed up: The song is a collaboration with Puerto Rican reggaeton duo Wisin & Yande


The chase is on: Jennifer changes in to an all-black outfit and leads an epic run around Acapulco

At 42 Jennifer still boasts the same incredible figure, and moves that dancers in their twenties would envy.

Wearing her favourite bronze make-up, with pretty pink lips for a pretty, fresh look, Jennifer could easily pass for a woman ten years younger.

Of course there was never any question of J-Lo's stunning looks and talents not stealing the show, considering her boyfriend Casper Smart, 25, directed the shoot.

Special attention: The video was directed by J-Lo's 25-year-old beau Casper Smart

Her song lyrics certainly show no sign of getting less steamy, including lines such as 'Baby, the way that I'm working my body, Can tell that you already like it,
I make you lose your cabeza.'

The superstar is already gearing up for her forthcoming MEGA 2012 Tour tour- and this time she's bringing her four-year-old twins Max and Emme along with her.

The tour, which will be a joint venture with Enrique Iglesias, will kick off in Montreal, Canada, on July 14 and continue across North America, including stops in Washington, Los Angeles and Miami.

Partners in crime: The pair grin at each other from their vantage point on a roof

'I don’t know how that’s all going to work. This is my first time. I’m going to see,' J-Lo told reporters during her press conference in Los Angeles on Monday.

'They’ll get on the bus with me and it’ll be a learning experience for both of us,' she added.

Thankfully there's somewhere to go if the kids need a breather while J-Lo's on the road.

'Luckily, there’s always Grandma’s house if they get really tired and stir-crazy,' the American Idol judge explained.


Latin flavour: J-Lo was keen to keep the Latina spirit strong in her latest single

What are you running from? The reason for the high-speed chase is never really explained

'They can go with their grandma for a few days and then come back.'

Jennifer said that she plans to 'feel that out as I go,' because 'I can’t be away from them for too long, so they’ll be with me most of the time.'


Time to party: The video ends with shots of J-Lo in her clubbing gear


Keeping busy: Jennifer is currently planning her MEGA 2012 tour with Enrique Iglesias

Tatt's not good enough for the cover then: Megan Fox's back inking is airbrushed from front of magazine

By Kimberley Dadds


She's one of the hottest women in Hollywood so Megan Fox rarely has to be photoshopped for magazine spreads.

But the editors of France's Grazia obviously wanted to change her image when they edited one of her back tattoos out of her cover photo.

The Transformers actress was shot in a sultry pose for the front of the May issue.

Cover girl: Megan Fox appears on the front of Grazia France's May issue - minus a Nietzsche tattoo she has often been spotted showing off

And although one of her tattoos, a Shakespeare King Lear quote, was shown in the picture, her other tattoo - a Nietzsche quote - was erased for the image.

Megan adorns the cover dressed in a revealing white and black racerback frock, which shows off most of her back.

She smouldered for the camera as she put her right hand up, which showed off a large white and gold ring.

Spot the difference: But editors chose to include the exact same image in the centre of the magazine, without the image being doctored

The editors clearly didn't mind her Shakespeare tattoo which reads: 'We will all laugh at gilded butterflies'.

But they doctored out her other inking, which has the words by the German philosopher, reading: 'And those who were seen dancing were thought to be insane by those who could not hear the music.'

What makes the photoshopped picture even more odd is that on the inside pages of the same edition of the magazine, the exact same shot of Megan is shown - with her tattoo still intact.

On show: Heads at fashion brand Armani were happy to show off Megan's tattoo in their advertising campaigns

The same tattoo has previously been seen on the stunning actress when she has stripped to her bikini on various beach holidays.

And heads at Armani clearly didn't mind it when they included it in a number of their advertising campaigns.

Fox is known for her penchant for skin art and has a total of eight altogether.
Although there is one that she wasn't quite as fond of - a portrait of screen legend Marilyn Monroe on her right forearm.

She has undergone laser surgery to remove the inking because she wants to avoid attracting 'negative energy'.

She explained when she started surgery to erase it last year: 'I'm removing it. It is a negative character, as she suffered from personality disorders and was bipolar. I do not want to attract this kind of negative energy in my life.'

Another design to cross off the list: Rihanna shows off her latest tattoo design in true rude girl fashion

By J J Anisiobi


Rihanna is already the proud bearer of 15 tattoos but now the pop star has added a new design to her collection.

The 24-year-old showed off a controversial creation that is likely to split opinion in terms of taste.

The Rude Boy singer has new eye-catching cross tattoo which she had done last night on the Lower East Side, in New York City.

Rude girl: Rihanna showed off her new cross tattoo design which she had done last night in New York

Rihanna went to her good friend and long time tattoo designer Bang Bang for the art work, which coincided with the legendary tattooist opening his new store.

The pictures show the singer posing with a pair of Ray-Ban sunglasses and wearing a bandana while she displays some of her other symbols.

Describing the experience, Bang Bang said: 'We did a very fine small cross directly on her collarbone. She said her cross meant a lot to her and she totally loved it!'

The fresh tattoo is still raw and appeared to be coloured red as it sits just below the star's neckline.

This is the 16th design Rihanna has added to her body but it is only the second tattoo that represents any religious links.

In 2007 she had what was believed to be her third tattoo, to her lower back and side.

Rihanna wanted to have a Sanskrit prayer going down her right hip that would say 'Forgiveness, Honesty, Suppression and Control', but unfortunately it was misspelled.

The Bajan-born singer recently revealed that despite all of her artistic etchings, she isn't happy with her current body shape.

She told Ryan Seacrest on his radio show on Kiis FM: 'The Five Factor Diet has gone straight out the window ever since I went on tour. I mean, It's difficult to have any kind of routine when your schedule is that crazy.

'So I really have no idea how I'm continuously losing weight,' Rihanna admitted, acknowledging her thin frame.

'It's actually pretty annoying, because now I don't have a butt, and I have no boobs. I already had no boobs to start with. So annoying! and I'm eating everything!'

That must have hurt! Natasha Giggs has large tattoo on her back completed (and just can't help but show it off!)

By Kirsty Mccormack


That must have hurt! Natasha Giggs shows off her new back tattoo in Flecky's Tattoo Studio in Manchester yesterday


The last year has seen Natasha Giggs experience much heartache, but that must have been nothing compared to her latest bout of pain.

The brunette made a visit to Flecky's Tattoo Studio in Manchester yesterday to add some body art to her slim figure.

Sitting in the chair for what must have seemed like forever, the mother-of-two eventually got the chance to show off the new design on her back.

Not in pain: The mother-of-two looked relaxed as she had her current tattoo added to and coloured in

The large artwork, which covers the length of Natasha's back on her right hand side, features nine stars of all different sizes and a swirl pattern that connects them all.

Rather than have the shapes coloured in a nice bright shade, the former Celebrity Big Brother contestant decided to have them darkened but this added less femininity to the design.

The large tattoo definitely stole the limelight from the small design that Natasha has below her neck.

The small red heart sits with the phrase 'Follow your heart' and was obviously her subtle introduction to the world of body art.


Baring all: The brunette had just a bright pink towel to cover her modesty as the tattooist did his work

Showing off: The large tattoo stole the limelight from the small heart design that Natasha has below her neck

Natasha didn't look in pain as the male tattooist did his work, and kept her sugar levels up by having a bottle of Coca Cola to hand.

She wore a pair of grey jogging bottoms and had just a bright pink towel to cover her modesty as she decorated her back.

She later emerged from the studio grinning from ear to ear and wearing a matching grey hoody with the slogan 'I'm the black sheep' emblazoned across it.

Staying very still: The former Celebrity Big Brother star had a bottle of Coca Cola to hand to keep her sugar levels up

Natasha - who is married to footballer Rhodri Giggs - was obviously chuffed with the finished result as she took to Twitter last night.

'Thanku sooo much to @fleckystattoo new ink is siiiiiick!!! My back is on fire tho haha...' she wrote.

However, there was no time to rest and let her tattoo heal, as today she was back to work having a manicure and a pedicure in preparation for a photo shoot tomorrow.

'I have 214 tattoos': Kristen Bell gets a bad girl make-over in Funny or Die skit

By Daily Mail Reporter


The art of lying: Kristen Bell parodies herself in a new Funny Or Die sketch where she discusses her 214 tattoos in the make-up chair

Kat Von D eat your heart out...

She might be a good girl in real life, but in a new sketch for website Funny Or Die, Forgetting Sarah Marshall actress Kristen Bell is seen getting some serious ink.

In the comical video, the 31-year-old actress parodies herself - and pretends to have 214 tattoos.

Scroll down to see video...

Transformed: The actress jokes how getting into character for her takes longer than most because she has to spend between 12 and 14 hours getting the etchings covered

Bell is tended to by a team of make-up artists during the clip - who she explains are tasked with covering up her sprawling body art before she goes on set.

The House Of Lies star explains: 'Not a lot of people know this about me - it's a little trade secret from a Hollywood sandbox.

'The process of getting into character takes a little bit longer for me than most other actors.'

Her canny make-up assistant then explains that Kristen arrives on location at 3.30am everyday and spends between 12 and 14 hours getting transformed.


Disappearing act: Bell is seen here having been transformed after her (obviously fake) tattoos are covered up with make-up

Body tour: Bell talks through body art to the cameras

Kristen then gives the camera a guided tour of her tattoos, including 'I Heart Windows 95,' a picture of Willy Wonka, and a troll with pink hair.

She also has facial inkings, including a star, before crudely drawing attention to a phrase scrawled under her chin: 'Insert gear here.'

The actress is gradually transformed throughout the video, finally appearing tattoo free as her stylist covers the (obviously fake) tattoos in make-up.


Crude: She points to one under her chin which reads 'insert gear here' with an arrow

No regrets: She then shows off markings on her arm, including a troll with pink hair

Asked by the interviewer what is the longest time she has spent preparing to go on set, she replies: '15 hours'.

She also adds that the tribal band on her wrist is probably the tattoo she regrets the most because it is 'kind of out dated' and jokes how he did nine of the tattoos herself.

Bell is currently starring in Showtime's House Of Lies.

Good Girl Gone Thug! Rihanna tweets photo of knuckle tattoo inspired by slain rapper Tupac (but softens message with pink ink)

By Nadia Mendoza


Cool or fool? Rihanna tweets picture of herself with new 'Thug Life' tattoo inspired by Tupac

She has millions in the bank and an entourage which would dwarf a basketball team.
But despite her life of excess, Rihanna insists she is ghetto, tattooing 'Thug Life' on her knuckles.

The singer tweeted a picture online, posing with her fists clenched to show off the pale pink etching.


Last September, the Only Girl In The World star was pictured blowing kisses to fans on the balcony of her hotel in Brazil having written the words on her hands in a pink Sharpie pen.

But now it seems Rihanna has gone under the needle for the permanent body art, adding the caption: '♫ All these b****es screaming that 2pac back ♫ #THUGLIFE.'

The Brit-winner is referring to Tupac's tattoo, who had the same slogan sprawled across his stomach.

The slain rapper was murdered in 1996, after he was shot four times during a drive-by killing.

Rihanna also posted a separate message on Twitter, saying: 'Tat my f***in name on u girl so I know its real!!! #MINE'

This alludes to Drake's (who featured on Rihanna's single We Found love) single Free Spirit, where he is referring to 2Pac’s girlfriend Kidada Jones who had his tattoo on her arm.

She also appeared to have a new marking on her back, posing on the table with a bottle of beer as the artist became the envy of males across the globe as he began work on her.

Isn't that illegal? Rihanna seems to be drinking beer while the tattoo artist gets to work

The Barbadian beauty paid tribute to him online, adding the caption: 'My boo Mark Mahoney!!!! #RockstarS*** #TATnight'

Mahoney is most known for his black and grey work, and more specifically images of religious icons, bombs, and guns, and has worked on Britney Spears, Nicole Richie, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

Friends in high places: Rihanna was seen hanging out with Machete actor Danny Trejo at the parlour

In another snapshot, she cuddled up to Machete actor Danny Trejo, who lifted up his T-shirt to flaunt a large design on his chest of a lady wearing a Sombrero.

Rihanna appears to be missing the attention of adoring fans since finishing her Loud Tour last month, with continuous tweeting of her whereabouts including her post-festive beach holiday.

Believing her own hype: Rihanna poses with her tattoo artist

The 23-year-old is a huge fan of tattoos, with approximately 14 to 15 visible inkings already.

She has a music note on her ankle, a Pisces sign behind her right ear, the word 'love' on her left middle finger and a trail of stars on the back of her neck, alongside the French saying 'Rebelle Fleur' - which means rebellious flower.


In preparation: Last September, Rihanna was seen from the balcony of her hotel in Brazil with writing on her

'Don't be bitter - glitter!' Sarah Harding puts tough few weeks behind her as she unveils motivating new back tattoo

By Emily Sheridan


Body art: Pop star Sarah Harding shows off her new tattoo 'don't be bitter - glitter' as she leaves the EF Medispa in Kensington

It's been a tough few weeks, if not months, for Sarah Harding as she's battled addiction and relationship problems.

So less than two weeks after she ended up battered and bruised following a fight with ex-boyfriend Theo De Vries, you can't blame the singer for wanting a bit of motivation as she gets things back on track.

Looking healthy and happy, the 30-year-old star yesterday unveiled a motivating new tattoo which read 'Don't be bitter - glitter' written across the top of her back in swirling script.

Sarah debuted the tattoo as she left the EF Medispa in Kensington Church Street, west London, following four hours of treatment.

And the spa day obviously worked, as the Girls Aloud star left the salon with her skin looking glowing and luminous.

As well as her new back etching, she also has a Tibetan tattoo on her left forearm which means 'inner strength and a star underneath her right ear.

Her pampering session comes after Harding ended her short romance with Dutch De Vries on New Year's Eve in Austria.

Feeling good: Harding looked in good spirits as she left the spa after the four hour session

The pair were in Innsbruck for a skiing holiday, but after they started drinking, their mood soon turn soured.

While they definitely argued with each other, both parties dispute the other's version of events.

De Vries, 35, claimed he hit back at Harding in self-defence, while she alleged he dragged her across the floor of their hotel room and bit her ear.

Can't stop smiling: The Girls Aloud singer is obviously feeling more upbeat about the future after a rocky start to 2012

While Sarah’s publicist initially claimed she was the sober victim of an unprovoked assault, it has since emerged that the couple were drinking prior to the incident.

Harding told The Sun last week: 'I’m not going to lie, I had a gin and tonic at the airport, but I was sober at this point.'

The couple met a few months ago while undergoing rehab for drug and alcohol addiction in a clinic in Cape Town, South Africa.

Sarah had recently split from DJ fiancé Tom Crane, and was seeking help to get off ­alcohol and ­Zopiclone, a sleeping drug.

Family man Ben Affleck shows off his wild side by proudly displaying his tough guy tattoo...of a dolphin

By Laura Schreffler


A family man with a secret: Ben Affleck looked like the boy next door while taking daughter Violet to lunch yesterday


He looks like just your average family man, but Ben Affleck still hasn't let his youthful side escape.

The 39-year-old actor/producer/director took his girls out for a simple lunch today in Los Angeles and managed to show off some surprising body art.

As he learned over to strap daughters Violet and Seraphina into his car, his shirt rode up to reveal a dolphin tattoo on his right hip.

Who knew: While bending over in his car his ink was displayed

He revealed a secret that very few know about: his tattooed attempt at at bad boy past.

The actor has body art in the form of a dolphin just below his right hip, perilously close to his botom.

He allegedly opted for the dolphin to cover up an ex-high school girlfriend's name.

The Hollywood actor has also been sporting Justin Bieber's former bowl cut recently, though the 'do is allegedly for his role in the upcoming 70s-era film, Argos.

Perhaps his excitement at nearly having a son has also helped to make him look younger and more boyish.

He was very much an adult today though as she took his heavily pregnant wife, Jennifer Garner out for a light lunch.

Ben looked classic and attractive in a pea green sweater and dark trousers, while wife's protruding bump was on proud display.

We Are Family: Ben Affleck carries Seraphina as Jennifer Garner shuts the car door after Violet as they arrive for lunch in LA today


Affleck, who is also 39, must've been sweltering in a grey-green sweater with his hair long and shaggy and a beard covering his face for his role in 70s' set Argo.

But despite the couple's A List status, it was five-year-old Violet and Seraphina, two, who stole the most admiring glances.

It's adorable to see just how clearly the pair are adopting their own style standards.

Violet looked sweet in a yellow striped dress that she'd matched with some canary-coloured beads, and was clinging to a pink metallic hand bag.

Perfect family: Affleck walks Violet while Garner shepherds Seraphina, they are soon to be joined by a son


Little Seraphina coordinated with her mother in a rich navy with indigo undertones, and kept her favourite doll close even when get a lift from Affleck.

He, for his part, looked the doting dad and caring husband as he marshalled the girls carefully to aid his very pregnant wife.

It's clearly a joy for him to spend time with his girls, but understandably, he is looking forward to having another man in the family.

The Pearl Harbour actor is said to be over the moon that his wife is reportedly pregnant with a boy, having a 'little sports buddy' in the family.

Precious cargo: Affleck carried Seraphina in but when they left, she had her hair flowing loose and wasn't letting go of her dolly


A friend said to Life & Style: 'He can't wait to take his son to baseball games and play catch with him.'

Despite expecting her baby early next year, Jennifer has also been busy taking a variety of business meetings.

Next year The Odd Life of Timothy Green is set to be released and Jennifer stars as one half of a couple desperate to have children.

The couple bury a box in their garden and somehow they soon find themselves welcoming a baby boy into their family.

She is also said to be signed up to Back Roads, a film based on the novel by Tawni O’Dell alongside Andrew Garfield.
