kirilenko tattoo


So Andrei Kirilenko has a new tattoo.
From the look of things, he has an entirely new back.
The Jazz forward's body art started showing up on the Internet this week. Nice. Actually, it's awful. Dark, scary, intimidating. Not at all like A.K.
I'm sure the person who did the artwork is pleased — as is A.K. -- but any time I see someone using his entire back for a canvas, I want to cover my eyes. (see Carlos Boozer)

What was Kirilenko thinking?
Still, there was one thing about his explanation that made sense: He's 30 years old and can do what he wants.
Kirilenko is a free spirit. If he wants to wear a Mohawk, or wear it '50s style, or shaggy like the lead in a rock band, he'll do it. That's part of the reason he butted heads with Jerry Sloan: One of them is a free spirit, the other isn't.

Lady Gaga's Lil Sis Talks Fashion and Life With the Star


There is no shortage of famous and talented sisters in Hollywood. From soul singers Beyonce and Solange Knowles to style savvy siblings Dakota and Elle Fanning, it's clear that talent often does run in the family. Well, Tinseltown needs to make room for one more dynamic duo as Lady Gaga's little sister, Natali Germanotta, makes her way into the spotlight! Natali, who has mostly kept herself under the radar, recently opened up in the October issue of Teen Vogue, spilling the beans on life as Gaga's kid sister.

It's clear that Natali is set on carving out her own identity; she's not interested in being the next Lady Gaga. When asked about her sister's fantastical fashion sense, Natali said, "Some of the stuff she wears I'd be like, 'No, never.'" But it's clear that both sisters share an affinity for the quirky—Natali arrived on set for her Teen Vogue shoot with a pet lizard that she openly smooched on the lips.

Natali, who has a distinct passion for fashion, is currently enrolled in Parsons The New School for Design. Natali's interest in fashion runs deep—she was considered to be the best-dressed in her grade and even designed her own graduation gown. Natali opted for fashion school instead of the typical college experience because she believes that [Parsons] "is less about getting drunk and more about learning what you need for your career."

It's refreshing to see Natali so determined on paving her own road in the fashion industry. It would be simple to ask big sis Gaga, who is widely recognized as a fashion icon, to call in a favor with her many industry connections to land Natali a prestigious gig. "For now I'd like to stay in school," Natali says. However, she is quick to point out that Gaga has occasionally called in favors for her, like when she turned Natali's school project into the shoe-shaped piano she played during a performance on The Oprah Winfrey Show. While Natali hasn't completely dismissed the possibility of a collaborative effort with Gaga, it will most likely not be as a stylist. Why not? "She changes 50 times a day," Natali aptly says.  Lady Gaga Clothes
