Ali Lohan Is All Grown Up

Lindsay Lohan’s little sister Aliana, at 17, is growing up fast. Tall and with sunken cheekbones, Aliana (she’s ditched her childhood nickname Ali) has a contract with Next Model Management.

Aliana appears on the cover of Page Six Magazine, inside the New York Post tomorrow. Recently two different photos of her were juxtaposed, fueling online rumors of dramatic weight loss and even surgical procedures.

Aliana, who explains her new look as a growth spurt, says, “I was cracking up. Because, like, when would I do that (surgery)? I’m 17 years old. That’s not legal! I would need my mother’s signature, and do you think my mom would sign off on that? No! Its not the right thing to do. . . . It’s stupid. I don’t listen to it. Its absolutely not true.” Aliana is keen to find her own way in the modelling world. Cindy Crawford is her role model, she says, “for having branded her name really well.” But despite seeking out her own path, Aliana is very close to her family. Of Lindsay she says, “You can’t trust anyone so we talk to each other about everything. . . . I admire how strong she is.” Aliana insists she is the opposite of a wild child, she doesn’t drink or smoke, and, “I just say no [to drugs]. I’m lucky enough that I had my sister to learn from…I’ve seen people do it to her and I’ve learned to be like, ‘That’s stupid, no’. That’s why Lindsay and me are so close, because we’re able to talk about those things together.”
