Pass that girl a steak!

LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- Teen actress Mary-Kate Olsen, who with her twin sister Ashley has grown into an American pop icon and fashion brand, has entered a program for treatment of an eating disorder reported to be anorexia.

The 18-year-old co-star of last month's film "New York Minute" recently "entered a treatment facility to seek professional help for a health-related issue," publicist Michael Pagnotta said Tuesday.

"She is thankful for the encouragement and support of her friends and family, who are with her every step of the way," he added.

A person familiar with the situation told Reuters that Olsen was suffering from an eating disorder. Olsen entered a facility during the past week or 10 days and was expected to remain in treatment for about a month, the person said.

Us Weekly magazine, in the cover story of its upcoming issue, identified the disorder as anorexia.

Speculation about Olsen's rail-thin figure has been the subject of tabloids, gossip columns and the Internet for weeks. The actress herself poked fun at the issue during the twins' recent appearance on "Saturday Night Live," shouting to an extra playing herself, "You're too skinny! Eat a sandwich!"

Pagnotta said both sisters, who turned 18 on June 13, were going ahead with plans to attend New York University together in the fall.

But Ashley Olsen will be making a planned trip later this month to Australia and New Zealand without Mary-Kate to launch overseas promotion of "New York Minute" -- the sisters' first theatrical feature, he said.

The twins have been in the public eye since they were 9 months old, starring in the television sitcom "Full House." Since then, they have sold millions of videos, DVDs and books and have launched their own fashion line.

But director-producer Michael Kruzan, who has worked with the twins for years, was quoted in Us Weekly as describing Mary-Kate as the "more competitive" of the two girls.

 

I don't really have anything to say about this, I just don't want Jeff to get his feeling hurt 'cuz nobody's replying.

FWIW, I don't dig it when chicks is too skinny. I like girls who look like they're about 10 or 15 lbs "overweight." Like a Kate Winslett kinda thing. Like maybe she used to be an athlete but she's let herself go a little.

Voluptuous, curvy, and big boned kicks skinny's ass any day of the week.

 

thanks for the concern buddy

hafta agree with ya on the curvy part...just don't want no jelly rolls

 

Naw duawg.. you need to see dat' tootsie roll. Dat shit is da bomb yo'

 

Now, that being said, I do have to admit to having a serious weakness for a select few skinny girls, Selma Blair and Parker Posey being the front runners.

Oh, and Bridgette Fonda too!

 

Bridgette Fonda ..............................................



One of the sexiest chick in show biz.

 

Starving has got to be the most painful thing to ever go through, both physically and mentally. Why the fuck would anyone want to do that to themselves?

I just don't get it. Women with a little meat on their bones are far more sexy than a stick figure on any day.

 

I totally agree. the Kate Moss heroin junkie look just doesn't cut it for me.



But Fonda is still a babe.

 

WORD! Especially in La Femme Nikita :up:

 

WHY?!??! Because it is the image that society projects of what is a sexy and desirable woman. Tall, thin, tan, blonde, and large breasts.

 

you make it sound like a bad thing!

 

Skinny chicks like that make ya bruise pretty bad, especially if you don't get enough vitemin K. At least it's legal to think about doin' the Olsons now.

Well, if that is all you want, then no it isn't a bad thing. But, high maintenance
women can be a major drain on the wallet, and it's the all about me attitude.

So is it to say that men are afraid of women who are smart, able to take care of themselves, can work on his motorcycle and can still get dressed up for a night out??????

 

36 - 24 -36 thats the way i like em!

 

Chick's with eating disorders are sooooo sexy! I love a woman that suffers for her vanity.

 

Re: Re: Re: Pass that girl a steak!

Find me a woman like that and I'll ... do the M word with her.

Wait a minute! I may know of such a woman... Dober! But she rides Yamaha. Can I get her to ride a Kaw instead? How would she look in green? Will she hold me to my initial statement?

 

Can we get any fat girls in here to chime in?



...and Brad doesn't count!

 

i'll pass both of the twins a steak.... MY TUBE STEAK !!

yeah the ultra-skinny look just doesnt do it for me.

 

Bless you, Caesar! I feel like I have a Bettie Page body in a Kate Moss era. I just don't see why guys like the skinny little breakable chicks.
