Ireland Online reports actress Mena Suvari can’t wait to turn 27 in February because she’s convinced her 26th year is cursed. The American Beauty star has nothing but “bad memories” about 2005 after splitting from husband Robert Brinkmann.

She says: “I hate 26. I think it’s a bad number. It just seems off. One of my friends told me that 26 is a time when you start questioning everything: what you’re doing, where you’re going. I feel like I know where I want to be, I just want to hurry up and get there.”

Suvari admits she’s still coming to terms with her marriage split: “I’m still in shock mode. It’s like, ‘What the hell happened?’”

Mena Suvari has recently declared she spent years to prove that she is a talented and hard working actress, who does not fit only the parts she was cast in for her innocent look.

The 26-year-old American actress is aware of the fact that some people assume she lacks depth because of her delicate appearance.

“Looking innocent has only tormented me. I don’t feel the way people see me, so it’s been a life challenge”, Mena said.

“I’m petite and I have big blue eyes, so people assume I’m young and flippant. But there’s so much more in there”, the actress added.

“People have been surprised by the choices I’ve made because they don’t fit with my image. When I made Spun people didn’t recognize me. It was shocking to me that they were shocked. I just thought, why not do it?”, the actress declared. Continue Reading…

Contact Music reports that AMERICAN PIE star MENA SUVARI believes she’s an annoying addition to many film sets - because she’s extremely fussy about her food.

The 26-year-old actress, married to cinematographer ROBERT BRINKMAN, embarked on her fussy diet after realising a healthy eating plan would probably 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.”

Mena is twenty-six today! I hope she had a stella day/night!
