"I've passed on a couple of things that would have kept me here in L.A.
The 34 year old Washington Wizards just made an announcement. He is a ballplayer and yes he is gay. In the May 6, 2013 issue of Sports Illustrated, Collins talks about his decision to come out despite the controversy of gays in sports:
I’m a 34-year-old NBA center. I’m black. And I’m gay.
“I didn’t set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I’m happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn’t the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, “I’m different.” If I had my way, someone else would have already done this. Nobody has, which is why I’m raising my hand.”
Jason Mecier is best known for creating incredible portraits of celebrities made out of trash.
In many instances the stars who are the subject of his pieces send him their personal trash and he uses it to fashion his mosaics, but in other cases he simply uses materials inspired by whatever celeb has most recently caught his attention.
For Mecier’s most recent work, he created a portrait of Lindsay Lohan made from trash, recycling and found objects inspired by the “Mean Girls” actress.
In an email to The Huffington Post the gay artist says the piece took over 50 hours to make and features “make-up, jewelry, sunglasses, credit cards, cell phones, booze bottles, handcuffs, Visine, prescription bottles, Lindsay’s CDs and DVDs, two collectable ‘Mean Girls’ nail files, four ant traps, Monistat 7, eight Q-Tips, 13 bullet shells, one tampon and 29 cigarette butts.”
Explaining why he chose to create the trashy shrine to Lilo, Mecier says, “I love Lindsay! I’m a huge fan! She seems to love publicity and controversy so I think she will like it. It’s all in fun. This portrait is glamorous and bad ass! It would look great hanging in Lindsay’s living room.”
