Report: Olsen Treated for Eating Disorder

[CatWoman]

this in no way surprises me.

It sucks the way "image issues" destroy young girls, especially in Hollywood.

Look at how large her head is compared to the rest of her body.



NEW YORK — Mary-Kate Olsen, the brunette half of the Olsen twins entertainment empire, has entered a treatment facility "to seek professional help for a health-related issue," her publicist said Tuesday.

Us Weekly and People magazines reported that Olsen has an eating disorder and entered the unidentified treatment center during the past few days.

Olsen's publicist, Michael Pagnotta, would not comment on those reports.

Us Weekly said Olsen is anorexic.

1. Oh, I thought you meant MERLIN Olsen n/t

2. Can't say as I am shocked, but it's sad. I wish her well.

3. I hope they stop dressing alike

that stuff gets hard past the ages of 4 or 5.

4. Hollywood encourages that sort of thing

If she were 20 pounds heavier, they would complain that she was too fat. Some people have trouble hitting a constant target weight. It is not suprising that this happened.

5. Not Mrs. Olsen?

What happened? All that coffee finally got to her and she exploded in a java-fuled fit of hyperactivity?

6. I hope those girls take their money,

wave bye-bye to Hollywood and go off and live normal lives somewhere. When I lived in Hollywood we used to call the super thin show business folks the "Big Head People'. I saw Heather Locklear, who I thought was beautiful, in person once, and was it a shock. I don't know, I'm not a guy, but I just don't think showing off the shape of one's skull is all that attractive.

7. and I thought you meant

Babara Olsen Teddy's ex-wife-killed on the plane that smashed into the Pentagon on 9/11.I figured maybe this was the reason...I won't go there-tempted ,but I'm desperately trying to hang on to the little bit of humanity the hate-filled republican party is attempting to zap from my being every day watching this non-stop hate-mongering

8. a little Googling turns this up

On edit: My twelve year old daughter says none of her friends know which is which, just that "there's a normal one, and a skinny one."



The one on the right is definitely unhealthy.

Another picture was posted in the lounge a while back, one girl's bones were visible in her back.

9. Actually many actors have large heads compared to their body

it's what makes the camera love them...

10. Sadly, I'm not surprised.

One or both of them was sure to be in rehab of some sort pretty soon.

Once again, Hollywood eats it's young.

11. bulemia makes me want to puke

so does our "culture"'s fascination with sickly thin celebrities.

12. What a shame. I hope she gets well. I like the twins...

They're not talented. But they're cute in a Smurfette kind of way.

13. Bless Her Heart

Can't say that I'm surprised either. I hope she gets the help she needs. It might be a good idea for these girls to concentrate on school and a normal life for a while.
