AnnaLynne McCord is tired of pretending to be perfect.

She frequently looks gorgeous with a face full of make-up, but it seems like the 24-year-old is finished hiding her flaws.

The 90210 starlet tweeted a photograph of herself today with a completely bare face and, in the process, completely revealed a plethora of blemishes.

Au naturel: AnnaLynne McCord tweeted a photograph of her face - blemishes and all - today

The fresh-faced blonde captioned the tweet with: 'I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement.

'To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! I'm not perfect--and that's okay with me!' she added, following up with her au naturel snapshot.

Even her hair, which is often tamed into straight submission on her CW show, was left in a completely natural, curly state.

Not hiding her flaws: The 90210 star went without makeup last week while visiting her boyfriend in Vancouver

Though fellow celebrities like Kim Kardashian typically refuse to let themselves be seen without mascara, foundation and liner, AnnaLynne has slowly been dropping her artifice.

She was snapped countless numbers of times without so much as a speck of powder on while visiting boyfriend Dominic Purcell on the set of his new film in Vancouver, Canada.

The 42-year-old Prison Break star loves her exactly as she is, as should the rest of the world.

A change seems to have been brewing for quite some time.

AH, love: McCord's boyfriend, Dominic Purcell, loves her just the way she is

She recently discussed her thoughts on ringing in some changes in her life with Us Weekly.

AnnaLynne told the magazine: 'Over the New Year, my sister and I were thinking, 'What do we want to see in our lives, surrounding us?'

'Be the change you want to see in the world, be the change you want to see in people and for me.

'I kind of want Hollywood and fashion to make a change...I'd love to see class make a comeback.'

Black humour: AnnaLynne McCord and Shenae Grimes share a giggle during a break from filming a mystery funeral for 90210 today


If you love a mystery then feast your eyes upon these pictures... because it looks as though somebody isn't going to make it into the next series of CW's 90210.

The cast were spotted at Hollywood Forever cemetery today, filming what looked suspiciously like a funeral scene.

Fans of the comely AnnaLynne McCord and Shenae Grimes, who play Naomi Clark and Annie Wilson respectively, can breathe a sigh of relief however, as they are safe.


The delightful pair were anything but funereal as they bounced around between takes, stifling fits of giggles.

Their outfits at least, were approaching sombre, with McCord, 24 , togged out in black pinafore dress with matching fedora and wedge shoes.

Grimes, 22 , was arguably too sexy for her cemetery in a fitted obsidian lace and satin affair, which was paired with chunky suede heels in a matching hue.


Funeral chic: McCord and Grimes looked fabulous in their black attire, but still so Beverly Hills... until Shenae ditched her heels for some comfy slippers


Funeral for a friend? It wasn't clear which character had passed away as the main protagonists larked around

Are you taking this seriously? Shenae in particular seemed to be having a whale of a time

They were joined by co-stars Jessica Stroup, Tristan Wilds, Matt Lanter and Jessica Lowndes, which means Erin, Dixon, Liam and Adrianna aren't about to bid a farewell, either.

But somebody appeared to be getting a send off, as the smartly attired, genetically blessed cavalcade of Beverly Hill beauties marched purposefully through the graveyard.

Season four arrived on our screens on January 17, live and kicking its Louboutin heels into the labyrinthine affairs of its privileged protagonists.

Actress Arielle Kebbel, 26 , put the cat amongst the pigeons with her character, Vanessa, who won the affections of Matt Lanter's Liam away from Grimes' Annie.


Living to see another series: Jessica Lowndes and Gillian Zinser were both on hand for the scenes, meaning and Ivy are safe


Never work with children and animals: AnnaLynne had a canine companion for the scenes

Fancy a lift? Shenae gets a ride from Tristan after her shoes become too uncomfortable

She wasn't evident at the graveside shoot today.

She told Hollywood Life recently: 'My arrival stirs up more than just Liam’s emotions, he has to figure out what he wants for his future in all aspects of his life.'

'As the season continues, Liam and Vanessa get closer and learn they have similar troubled pasts,' Arielle continued.

'I think that brings them closer together. Instead of judging each other’s pasts, they see the good in one another and encourage change for the future.'


What a hoot! It wasn't a real funeral so laughs all round for the cast as they made the most of the sunshine


Well earned rest: AnnaLynne also discarded her heels as she ran through a scene with Tristan Wilds, who plays Dixon

She added: 'The fun thing about Vanessa is that there are good intentions behind her schemes,” Arielle says. 'Enjoy the ride 90210 fans - you never know what she’s up to next!'

Arielle also agrees with my assumption that Vanessa could very much be described as a 'female Liam.'

But could she be bidding farewell at the end of this action-packed season?

She's known for playing the kind of ultra-sleek vixens to whom a slender figure is as vital and necessary as a loaded gun to an assassin.

But it seems AnnaLynne McCord hasn't starved herself into a tiny dress size for her art, as her younger sister is even more slender.

The 24-year-old 90210 star opened a charity event in Las Vegas last night with waif-like younger sister Rachel, 23.

Little and er, little: AnnaLynne McCord and sister Rachel launched the Women Rebuild for the St. Bernard Project held at Pure in Las Vegas last night

The pair's matching dainty frames - and that of third sister Angel, who did not attend the event at Caesar's Palace - suggest that their slightness is down to their good old Georgia genes.

And these Southern belles haven't forgotten their heritage, as the event last night was to promote a foundation that is striving to help rebuild the lives destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and the oil spill.

Their website explains: 'St. Bernard Project is an award-winning rebuilding, nonprofit organization whose mission is to remove physical, mental and emotional barriers for vulnerable families, senior citizens and disabled residents who are struggling to recover from the devastation and trauma caused by Hurricane Katrina and the oil spill.'

Dainty: AnnaLynne looked incredibly slight in her cowl-necked dress

Known for her remarkable efforts and involvement in various charities including this project, McCord - who plays rich teenager Naomi Clark in 90210 - dedicated her evening to raising awareness and funds to support its work.

The stunning actress hit the red carpet just after midnight wearing a turquoise dress and diamond studded heels and posed for photos with 41- year-old boyfriend Dominic Purcell and sister Rachel.

Later McCord sipped on champagne, vodka cocktails and partied into the early hours of the morning in the VIP area of the club.

Despite their 17-year age difference, AnnaLynne McCord, 24, says she has a lot in common with her 41-year-old actor beau Dominic Purcell.

Fundraiser: Beautiful AnnaLynne uses her high profile to help promote good causes

She told Us Weekly recently: 'We met doing a project and we connected over a conversation about how we were moving away from L.A.

'I just bought a townhouse [somewhere else in California]. We were trying to get away from all of it. We live far away, near the beach.'

The beauty, who dated Twilight pin-up Kellan Lutz, 26 , before meeting Purcell, also told the magazine that there are many perks to dating an older man.

She said: 'We have healthy debates, which I absolutely love. At the very end of the conversation we will both go, 'I respect your opinion. I disagree with you. But I respect your opinion because I love you.

I'm like the little girl who loves school and love learning, especially from a man who is so intelligent and so worldly, it's nice to learn some things.'

AnnaLynne McCord definitely knows how to dress for any occasion.

The svelte TV star looked every inch the Venice Beach hipster as she and boyfriend Dominic Purcell walked hand-in-hand through the LA neighborhood yesterday.

The 24-year-old 90210 starlet was not only makeup-free, but wearing the standard Venice uniform of a plaid shirt and jeans.

She sexed up the look a bit by knotting the button-down blouse at her bellybutton to show off her tiny waistline.

Her much, much older boyfriend, 41-year-old former Prison Break star Purcell, looked slightly less podgy than he did just five days ago.

Wearing a tight white T-shirt showing off his tattoos and worn-in jeans, the Blade: Trinity actor looked every inch the bad boy.

AnnaLynne seems to find his scruffy, Freddy Mercury-like moustache and Venice locale look irresistible.

The couple, who began dating this year, firmly held hands on their romantic beachside stroll.

Dominic did pause once to throw his arm around his young girlfriend's shoulders to give her a tight hug.

The Australian actor is miles apart from AnnaLynne's last boyfriend, clean-cut Twilight star Kellan Lutz.

She and the hunky star split in November after nearly two years together; they met on the set of her CW show in 2008.

Both men are as different as day and night from her onscreen boyfriend, played by Josh Zuckerman.

She and Zuckerman, who plays geeky lothario Max, filmed a romantic scene - again on a beach - 14 August for the series' third season.

During the season two finale, the two were forced to end their onscreen relationship after Max's parents decided AnnaLynne's character, Naomi Clark, was a bad influence on their son.

In the cliffhanger, Naomi reveals that she might be pregnant. It remains to be seen whether or not she made up the scenario in order to get Max back in her life.

The drama continues during the season three premiere on 13 September in the U.S.

Nuptials: Kellan Lutz played best man at his brother Brandon's wedding in Valencia, California on Saturday - his on-again off-again girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord also attended


Prince Harry may have been the most famous best man in the past week but Twilight actor Kellan Lutz definitely wins the vote for the sexiest.

The actor was showed that he looks as great in a suit as he does with his clothes off as assumed the important role at his brother's wedding at the weekend.

Lutz, 26, watched as his brother Brandon got married to Sarah Oriolo in Valencia, California in a beautiful outdoor wedding.


The wedding took place at the Lutz family home in front of 100 guests and Lutz looked dapper in his tuxedo with a matching yellow tie.

But he was not dateless for the event - his on-again, off-again girlfriend AnnaLynne McCord was also a guest.

The 90210 star arrived in a one-shoulder pink layered dress with matching heels to watch the nuptials, maybe thinking one day it will be her turn to officially join the Lutz family.

But she is no stranger to the clan as she actually hosted the hen party for Brandon's now wife at a pool part at Wet Republic.

The lucky bride looked ravishing in a strapless princess gown and carried a bouquet of yellow flowers - her bridesmaids also wore the same colour.

Last month AnnaLynne celebrated her 23rd birthday in Las Vegas with her sister and friends and also rekindled her on-off relationship with Lutz.

Lutz plays vampire Emmett Cullen in the hit franchise, while AnnaLynne has also recently made a foray into the movie world by appearing in straight-to-DVD film Blood Out.

To keep with the nuptial theme, Lutz is starring in upcoming romantic comedy Love, Wedding, Marriage.

He plays a man who is about to tie the knot with a marriage counsellor, played by Mandy Moore.

But on the eve of the wedding, the best man drops the bombshell that Lutz's character had already had a wedding once before - information that his bride to be did not know.

Love, Wedding, Marriage hits theatres on June 3.
