kyra sedgwickKyra Sedgwick and her new tattoo wowed on the red carpet at of the Screen Actors Guild awards last night. The Closer star stunned in an orange Pucci dress, the cut-outs of which perfectly showed-off her fresh ink. Kyra told Giuliana Rancic of E! that her tat is a "family tattoo" -- it has the initials K, K, S, and T in a rectangle, standing for Kyra, husband Kevin Bacon, son Travis, 22, and daughter Sosie, 19.

I suppose if she was going to get inked, a tattoo that symbolizes the connectedness of her family is a sweet gesture.

It's probably better than getting just her husband's initials tattooed on her body -- that seems to be the kiss of death. One minute you're in love and want his name on your body, the next your scrambling to find an artist you can turn the word "Kevin" into a canoe floating on a sea of solitude.

You know that your children will always be a part of your life, that you'll always love them no

When hair color is good, it's rich and gorgeous-the stuff of bus-stop-advertising legend. When hair color is bad, it's a train wreck. Here's how to make sure you fall into the former category.

1. DO YOUR PREP WORK.

Split ends look even split-end-ier with highlights, so get a trim before you color. It's also best to wash your hair the night before coloring-hair that's too clean or too dirty can mess with how the color turns out. And if you're going to a salon, wear your hair as you normally do so the colorist can get an accurate sense of your style.

2. KNOW YOURSELF.

Dorky as it may sound, you have to be yourself when it comes to hair color. If you're fair, don't look at Salma Hayek for inspiration. And if you're olive-tone, you will never pull off Scarlett Johansson blonde, no matter how much bleach you pour on. Pale and pinkish skin look best with blonde or light brown hair, while those who have medium or dark skin with yellow Read More »from The 10 Commandments of Gorgeous Hair Color

My worst nightmare: Getting snapped by the paparazzi while sitting on a beanbag wearing Uggs without a stitch of makeup. Then seeing the picture splashed all over blogs and tabloids. Thank god I'm not a celebrity! But a new bare face trend is popping up in Hollywood and it doesn't involve dodging cameras on a Starbucks run-celebrities are purposely showing off makeup-free faces.

Case in point: Snooki recently tweeted a picture of herself without makeup only to get rave reviews from fans. (Reason being: 1. She looks amazingly pretty underneath the loads of bronzer and strips of fake lashes, and 2. Women appreciate the honesty and the balls it to Snooki to put her real face out there.) And just yesterday, Julianne Hough was photographed leaving a concert in West Hollywood nearly makeup-free. (Reminder: She wasn't caught pumping her gas in sweats-Hough was dressed to go out and purposely kept her makeup next to none.)

Do you know what it's like to look in the mirror and hate what you see? I do. I have cystic acne, which means my face is covered in painful pimples and inflamed cysts.
