It’s confirmed! Our favorite cool, laid back actress just got even cooler by getting some body ink on her right wrist. What could the tat be of?!
When Kristen Stewart was spotted hanging out at Pride & Glory Tattoo Parlor in Nashville, Tenn. on June 21, everyone asked the same question: “Is K-Stew getting a tattoo?” Looks like the answer is yes!
Kristen Stewart Gets Some Body Ink
Pride & Glory posted a photo collage of Kristen’s visit to their Facebook page. In the pics, Kristen is hanging with the tattoo parlor staff and smiling for the camera. But most importantly, in one picture Kristen is shown surrounded by the Pride & Glory team holding up her right wrist proudly, sporting what looks to be some ink!
It’s tough to make out, but it appears Kristen got a small, possibly red tattoo on her wrist — and Pride & Glory confirmed that she got work done!

With American Mary, the Canadian twins mix grisly body surgery with third-wave feminism
Twins are rarely good news in the movies. The spooky ghost sisters in The Shining, Jeremy Irons's gynaecologist double-act in Dead Ringers, those white-dreadlocked idiots in The Matrix sequels, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen… Time and again, twins are used as a convenient shorthand for all things uncanny, scary and downright wrong. Jen and Sylvia Soska do absolutely nothing to dispel this image. In their new movie American Mary, for example, these identical Canadian sisters take cameo roles as deranged Germans, dressed in identical gothic attire and their backs pierced with holes, who commission an underground surgeon to remove their left arms and sew them on to each others' bodies. Lying side by side on operating tables, they hold hands and grin lovingly to each other, their black lips parting to reveal filed teeth.

Despite having passed away far too young in 1995, promising writer-director Joseph B. Vasquez is getting another film before cameras. The late filmmaker’s screenplay, “The House That Jack Built,” has just begun production in New York under the direction of Henry Barrial, whose “Some Body” played in the Sundance competition in 2001. In 1991, Vasquez's debut film “Hangin’ With the Homeboys” played at the Sundance Film Festival in competition with Richard Linklater’s “Slacker,” Hal Hartley’s “Trust” and Todd Haynes’ grand jury prize-winning “Poison.” Vasquez shared the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award with Hartley and was considered a talent to watch until mental illness derailed his career and AIDS took his life. He only made one more film, the 1995 romance “Manhattan Merengue.” “The House That Jack Built” stars E.J. Bonilla (“Guiding...
