Mena Suvari is getting married again and this time she’s looking for a wedding dress that will hide her tattoos. The “American Beauty” star is trying to find the perfect dress that won’t offend fiancé Simone Sestito’s super Catholic family.

She said: “I think it would be considerate to Simone’s family to have my tattoos covered, since there are two Catholic nuns on his mother’s side of the family.”

Pleasing Simone’s family is important to the actress, who believes a wedding is all about uniting loved ones.

She said: “The best thing about planning a wedding is just the whole essence of it. Thinking about how it should really be your most important, special day, and getting your family together. Simone and I really want to make it everything we always wanted it to be.” [Source]

Here’s a suggestion, Mena: how’s about a giant white bed sheet with a hole cut out? No? At least I tried.

I like Mena very much, but I can’t say the same thing about her haircut, or her outfit, or her back tattoos!

Mena Suvari candid pictures eating lunch at Newsroom restaurant

Here are a few candid pictures of “American Beauty” actress Mena Suvari as she was having eating at the trendy Newsroom restaurant in Beverly Hills.

Mena is known to be very picky about her food. She hopes that her healthy diet, based on organic foods, will keep her looking young for decades.

She says, “I follow my own diet, and I’m pretty anal about it. I believe in healthy, organic food. I’ve incorporated a lot of whole grains into my diet. I don’t eat meat unless it’s organic. I eat fish, but there are certain fish I won’t eat because of the mercury content. I don’t eat sugar.

I’m very particular, and it can be hard on sets. They’ll say, ‘I’ll just tell you what’s for lunch.’ And I’m like, ‘No, I need to go look at it.’ People probably think I’m being rude, but I can visualise how the food is going to affect my body.

I’ve eaten my share of junk. But my husband and I have been seeing a nutritionist, Feline Butcher, for years. When I first met her, she told me, ‘Mena, I know I am going to live to be a very old and healthy women.’ She looked stunning. I was like, ‘I wanna be like that.’

So I try to have a very clean lifestyle. I’ll have tea every once in a while, but I don’t drink coffee. I don’t smoke. It’s part of who I am, what makes me feel my best.” [ContactMusic]

I think that’s a very healthy attitude to eating, and to living in general. If only more people would think like her!
