Amanda Seyfried's ink smear shame at Lovelace premiere

Amanda Seyfried was left red-faced after accidentally smearing ink across her forehead at the star-studded premiere of her latest movie Lovelace in New York City on Tuesday (30Jul13).

The actress, who plays 1970s porn star Linda Lovelace in the new biopic, ended up with a large blue line on her face while signing autographs for fans with a permanent marker outside The Museum of Modern Art in the Big Apple.

Seyfried was oblivious to the stripe until a member of her entourage rushed over and began trying to wipe it off by licking her fingers and rubbing at the actress' face.

The 27 year old took the incident in her stride and exclaimed to the crowd, "That's what happens!"

The embarrassing incident came just hours after Seyfried twisted her ankle while signing autographs for devotees outside a TV studio where she filmed an appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman.
