Willow Smith jokes about with tongue stud photo

WILL SMITH's daughter Willow sparked controversy on Monday (25Jun12) when a photo of her posing with what looked like a tongue stud was posted online.

The rebellious pre-teen was fooling around with a pal when the picture was shot - and it looked like she had had her tongue pierced.

But a representative for the Whip My Hair singer tells news show Access Hollywood she was just "playing around" and the stud was actually a magnet.
