Here’s a pic of Amanda Bynes before the meltdown that led to her new look- a pierced CHEEK!

Without any explanation whatsoever, the young starlet posted a pic on her brand new Tumblr page, showing off a silver stud stuck right into the middle of her cheek. It suggests that her cheek is pierced, which means she’s got a big ‘ol hole through her face!

Is it real? She’s changed her look and been so defiant lately, it’s hard to question. Still, isn’t Bynes notoriously vain? Even still, a cheek piercing seems out of character.  Check out her tumblr for yourself and weigh in- is it real or a HOAX?

UPDATE: Here’s the picture!
