Blake Lively confirmed that she does not, in fact, rub truffles on her nipples as a baby James palate-refiner. The actress and Preserve founder hashtagged her latest Instagram post:
#WhoPutsTrufflesOnTheirNipplesDearGodCantReportersTakeAJoke?
She's referring to the People article titled, "Blake Lively Jokes: ‘I Rub Truffles on My Nipples Every Day,'" which quoted her saying:
'I rub truffles on my nipples every day,' Lively, 27, joked to reporters while promoting her new magical film The Age of Adaline in Los Angeles on Sunday.'You got to give her a very well balanced palate from a young age so she doesn't eat only beige food!'
That's two mentions of joking, but STILL: Font gods, where are we on that 'Blake Lively is joking' typeface? It could not hurt. But you know what Blake Lively never jokes about? Crudité.
